Thank You to Everyone

We want to thank everyone who sent loving messages about Gatsbi's passing. It's a very difficult time here at Forty Paws because she is missed. We weren't expecting to lose Gatsbi. When I went to see our regular v-e-t on Monday, he said that based on the report from the emergency clinic, and on Gatsbi's symptoms, he believed that she had abdominal cancer.

It's still hard to lose a loved poodin'. We will pick up her ashes tonight at the clinic when it opens for the evening.

Gatsbi Has Gone to The Rainbow Bridge



Gatsbi warmed up to normal temps, and her glucose remained high, but she was still having seizures and panting and not doing well at all. The V-E-T was afraid that she would go into cardiac arrest, so we made the decision that it was time she crossed over.

Gatsbi had a difficult life because she had a cerebral disorder from birth. She couldn't jump onto things, and she had no stopping skills when she would go running. She couldn't groom herself. But she ate very well!  She lived a little over 11 years on earth. We hope that she finds a sunny spot to lie in at The Bridge. We know that she has been met by many many poodins who have gone before.

Luf and purrs to Gatsbi from all of us.

Gatsbi is at the Emergency V-E-T

Gatsbi is not doing well. She is at the Emergency V-E-T.  Her blood sugar was very low, and her temperature was at 93F. She was having seizures and had messed in her bed and her tongue was hanging out. They got her glucose up to normal range, but she is having trouble getting warm again even with all of the warming devices that they are using on her. The V-E-T doesn't know if she will make it out of this because she believes that Gatsbi might have a tumor, or multiple tumors. We are waiting to see if they can get her temperature to raise, and then we will determine the need for additional tests to find out what else is going on.

We could definitely use a ton of purrs and purrayers for Gatsbi.

Yup. Maw went shopping again. Paw keeps saying, "You've sure got a lot of fabric here!"  Well, yes, she does has a lot of fabric! Tons of fabric! Miles and miles and miles of fabric! Oh well. Such is life in the house of Forty Paws.

Here is Orinch, looking out the window. Guess what!?! Maw has actually petted Orinch twice this week! He's a bit timid, and eventually runs away, but this is a huge improvement!
