Not A Question Just An Update On My Newly Acquired Rescue Dog.

[ladybirder]

Those of you who read Lankeela's thread will know I adopted a tiny 15 year old sweet little JRT girl with snaggly teeth and failing kidneys on 1 April. If you are interested there is a picture of her on the aforementioned thread.

Well I'm afraid it's been an awful 10 days, for her as well as me. She would only eat sporadically, even when hand fed tasty morsels and had to take her to the vet where she has been on a drip on Monday, home Monday night, fighting the drip, hating it, back to vet yesterday morning and on drip again all day. Fetched her home last night and she looked good, had eaten a whole packet of food at the vets. She took some more from my hand last night and drank plenty. But this morning was like from a horror film. Puddles of poo and vomit and saliva and wee everywhere. She was walking round and round groaning. Awful. I knew it was the end, scooped her up and straight to the vet where I held her and stroked her while she was put out of her misery.

I'm now questioning whether she should have been rescued in the first place. RIP little Jess.
