| Post subject: Polly - Seriously Ill |
 |
|
My beautiful girl Polly, age 10, has been diagnosed today with damaged kidneys and the most likely cause is a cancerous tumour.
Only 2 weeks ago she pranced around the show ring like a puppy and won the Veteran Stakes, her biggest win ever. She is at the vets tonight ready for more tests tomorrow, frightened and depressed not even eating her food any more.
I'll know more tomorrow but I am not hopeful.  ____________ Pretty Polly Pavey of Polidot - 06/08/1996 - 13/07/2006 - Dalspa Liquid Gold for Polidot 20/10/1999 - 08/05/2007 - Polly and Polo together again |

Thanks Jules.
The boys are very subdued, I will probably have them both on the bed tonight so we can have a group cuddle.
I have to get through work tomorrow somehow.

I'm in Basildon....but I'm not your typical Basildon Bird .
Can't you get the day off tomorrow???? You won't be able to concentrate anyway , will you.
Give your boys a hug from me....and give Polly one too when you see her tomorrow.

I am so sorry to hear about Polly. Best of luck at the vets. I know just how you feel as my mum has just lost her elderly dog, after 13 years together, she's absolutely devastated.

We're not much further forward. She has kidney stones in both kidneys AND her bladder, unusual for a bitch as they normally pass them, but the kidneys are both damaged - not by the stones so there is some other reason unknown at present. She has been very quiet this weekend and peeing gallons, mainly pure water as the kidneys are not processing it, can't have any antibiotics or pain killers as the vet wants yet more urine samples tomorrow to send to the vet college in Dublin.
I am going to see whether I can take her up there, or get a referral to the animal hospital which is much closer, since if her kidneys are failing it is often too late by the time you find out and I don't want her hanging around without treatment or a decision being made as she is miserable and it can only get worse if ignored.  ____________ Pretty Polly Pavey of Polidot - 06/08/1996 - 13/07/2006 - Dalspa Liquid Gold for Polidot 20/10/1999 - 08/05/2007 - Polly and Polo together again |
