Tough times for Callie

Hi Everybody!

Droopy here with some shiny teethies! Dr. Bell pulled two of my teeth, apparently they were looking kinda bad so they needed to come out. No biggie! My mouth was a little sore for a few days but feeling much better now.

Now on to news about Callie.

Callie had a very rough Memorial Day weekend. She didn't eat too much despite the fact that Momma is cooking her gourmet meals and I'm still getting stupid kibble- although I get a tidbit or two slipped to me on occasion. There were also some bathroom issues that I won't go into because I don't want to embarrass Callie. Callie's been pretty miserable; sleeping a lot, laying around looking pitiful, and in general not being her usual Callie-happy self.

Callie was scheduled for round 4 of chemo today. While in the car on the way Callie threw up in Momma's car. Yuckers! Momma had a talk with Dr. Liz about how Callie's chemo is going and what the future holds for Callie. Basically, chemo is no longer helping Callie. Her liver enzymes are super high and the lack of appetite and energy is not good so Callie's on two new medicines and more prednisone. If Callie does not improve within the next few days then there is not much more anyone can do.

We all upset at the news and are asking for lots and lots and lots of prayers for Callie.

Sniff ya later,
Droopy (and Callie too)

  1. We have just come from reading about Tabby - we hate having bad news about our pals.
    We want Callie to be all better and don't understand why dogs get sick.
    We know Callie will be miserable - it is no fun having accidents and being sick in the car.
    So many thing happening that poor Callie can't help.
    We are sending lots of basset vibes to Callie - we know she can't get all better but we want her to have some better days.
    You know the kind where you are lying in the garden in the sunshine.
    So she can feel the warmth of the sun on her fur and feel safe and happy.
    Give her lots of slobbery licks from us Droopy - we are glad you are feeling better although sorry to hear about you having teeth out.
    Our mum asks your mom to give Callie lots of pats and hugs from her.
    Let us know how things go. We know you will all look after Callie.
    Paws crossed
    Much love

  2. Droopy, so glad to hear you are recouping from the vet dentist and have sparkling teeth know. Callie, we are sorry to hear that you had a rough weekend. We can definately relate to that for sure. Actually HDM says that she feels for you and your family and knows exactly what everyone is going through. We hate to hear your enzymes are elevated and you should not feel bad for what happened in the car. After all, it all will clean-up and tell them to use some Freebrez to make it smell good. Droopy please give Callie some slobber kisses from us and know that we have Callie in our prayers and hope she feels better soon. Callie, lots of drool slobber coming and keeping you in our doggie prayers at night. Hugs, Slobbers, Drool and lots of Love. The Hounddogs (Cleo, Winston, Amiee)
