Throwing up -a lot

[Kelsey]

He’s begging me for his breakfast I had to feed Gizmo very discreetly, but doesn’t matter. Axel smells Gizmo’s food and is going bonkers.

After work I was going to take him for a huge walk but now I’m wondering if I should skip walks? He isn’t a scavenger but I worry he will become one if we go out while he’s starving.

I’m wondering if I should skip walks?

Can you do a lead walk?
I bet this 48 hours is tough x

 

[M.F.]

The starvation—it’s going to be so hard on BOTH of you!

I ended up doing half and half and he was totally fine, so that’s good. Tomorrow may be a different story so I will do an on lead walk only, just incase!

He’s feeling quite sorry for himself. I actually cried... I feel so bad. I don’t want him to think I’m neglecting him

 

[Lisa]

Aww poor pup. Hang in there. It will all be over soon and hopefully you will have the answers you need.

 

[Atemas]

I would cry too - having to starve our dogs is so grim - all our instincts are to feed them. You are doing well - hang on in there and then you can get these tests done

I'm not surprised, I cannot imagine how Cassie would cope not eating for 48 hours.

This is the hard part about them not being able to speak the same language as us, although they can do so much that we can't and know so much without apparent explanation, words would be handy right now!

Imagine how you are going to make it up to him once the procedure is over. He is going to be one seriously loved up and well fed doggo! Poached chicken and rice cooked in chicken stock would be a safe bet and would go down a treat I reckon.

 

[M.F.]

I’d cry, too! Poor Axel and poor you. Hopefully he’ll sleep through the day. At least he doesn’t have to go to work!

 

[MellowYellow]

Hang in there. This is really hard, but you are doing the right thing. Big hugs.

You are an incredibly strong person, by the way. I admire your fortitude in all you have had to face this year. Here's to 2019 being better!

Oh he will be getting spoiled rotten in every way possible!

Thank you so much, it’s been awful, can only hope next year things turn around

Got some wonderful news today. My parents showed up at my work, my mom got her results this morning. They were concerned the cancer had spread to the lymphnodes but they came back clear! So they removed 15 inches of her colon and got everything out, and the lymphnodes are all clear! Ahhhhh. Lots of happy tears today.

Axel hasn’t drank any water for almost 48 hours now. He’s so sad. Tail tucked low, hunching over when he walks, so miserable. I added some chicken stock to his water which he had zero interest in still. The vet said he’s not concerned as he’s just very upset right now and I shouldn’t worry. Regardless he will be at the vet in a few hours to spend the night so I know he will be in good hands

Such wonderful news so happy for you your mum and your family. Hope all goes well for the big boy now. Love and hugs

 

[HAH]

So pleased for you @Kelsey&Axel , that’s fantastic news for your mum. Just a few more hours and Axel will be with the vet and a big step closer to answers and a good feeding xx

 

[Joy]

Wonderful news about your mum and keeping everything crossed for Axel.

 

[Oberon]

Wonderful news about your Mum!

And it’s all going to get much better for Axel in the very near future.

 

[snowbunny]

Brilliant news about your mum, you must all be so relieved!
I hope you have some answers about Axel soon and you can cross that worry off your list, too.

 

[Stacia]

What a relief to learn that the cancer has not spread to your Mother's lymph nodes, I am so happy for you and your parents. It must be very, very hard to keep food away from Axel for 48 hours, but soon be over, thinking of you.

 

[Xena Dog Princess]

That is the best news about your mum, Kelsey!

How sad that Axel won't even drink broth It'll be all over soon, almost there.
