This girl, the love of my life is dying. Yesterday was not a good day for her.
We received a diagnosis from our vet back in early May that she has adrenal gland carcinoma. Now we have had lots of tests done but nothing was conclusive. Kai has a growth near her tail but otherwise she has been a high functioning dog -- until yesterday.
My husband found her laying in her pee , because she couldn't get up to use the bathroom. This is from the same dog who greets us every morning wanting to play ball. She did go to the vet yesterday because she had to have a rabies shot (which I personally think is why she had such a rough time yesterday). The vet also recommended she go on pain meds, so a hefty $75 later, and give her one pill (half her dose), and she is very loopy.
It's a blessing and a curse to be able to decide when your pet is no longer living the quality of life they deserve. We have talked about making that decision and are keeping a close eye on her.
Kai Lani Honua has had a great life! We got her at 8 weeks and have had 12 glorious and wonderful years with her.
So anyway, that's the scoop and why I didn't get a chance to write yesterday. Stay tuned for what I learned about Pinterest.
