sanrossscot Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Such sad news about Tia hope she still has some quality time with you Thanks She is still pretty bouncy to be honest, but she really isn't eating much. Yesterday she had about 6 cocktail sausages and maybe 10 cocktail sausage rolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celeste Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Have you tried her with ice cream ?, even though Ben isn't eating a thing without me force feeding him, he'll still take ice cream, it has to be soft and of good quality though , try her with liquid electrolytes too, you'll have to syringe it in but it can be very helpful in perking up poorly dogs.

sanrossscot Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Latest update from vet visit. The mass in her stomach doesn't appear to have increased, but her heart sounds are 'muffled' which suggests that the cancer has spread further On the plus side, she is still happy and bouncy and the vet has just given her a licence to eat 'fatty' foods as apparently the cancer finds it harder to use that sort of food rather than more quickly absorbed stuff As she has been enjoying cocktail sausages lately, she is already going there Si, it is still, one day at a time and treasuring each one of those days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping she's got a way to go yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanrossscot Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Not such a good night with Tia last night, she was quite unsettled and eventually threw up a couple of times. At one point I was considering phoning the vet as in between times she was just groaning all the time I have made an appt at the vet today, not too sure what the outcome will be. Part of me thinks 'better a week too early than a day too late' the other part of me is not ready to lose my grumpy Tia Baggins yet She has had some sausage this morning, so I will go to the vet with an open mind.

sanrossscot Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 :mecry: The end of an era, my grumpy baggins has left the building. She went quickly and peacefully, leaving George and I with huge gaping holes in our hearts. Bless you Tia, go find Keira and have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
