suzeanna Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'm so sorry Phebe...to be honest, I was expecting this. I didn't want to say so, but my little pom progressed in pretty much exactly the same way, but she had a final series of fits, became unconcious and died in my arms. It seems that when they are old, the fitting is just too much for their systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trallwm farm Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Been up all night with Polly, who has been unconscious for most of it. Rallied at 3 am but v agitated, fitted again at 4 and been out of it ever since. Talked to emergency vet on phone. She has gone downhill so fast over the past few days that it seems there is only one way to go, in view of her age. Her breathing is not right now. Vet would have come out in night but she seemed not to be in pain so after discussion we decided to keep her comfortable and leave a decision until morning. And while I was writing that she struggled awake and collapsed, she is off her feet. I've been battling with the decision all night, but it is clearly time to do the right thing If she had been younger, we might have hung on and tried whatever we could, but my poor old lady has had enough. Wish her a peaceful journey. Im so sorry Phebe. What a great life she has had with you. Edited December 23, 2011 by Trallwm farm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merledogs Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Phebe - I am so so sorry about Polly I don't know what to say, except that we know how you feel and we're here for you Morning Alex, can you get me some half price prosseco at Sainsburys please? I don't want to go in just for that. LOL Forgot sorry! I did get a couple of French Reserve bottles of Sav Blanc - usually £8.99 each, two for a tenner, plus a bottle of Taste the Difference Nectarine Bucks Fizz reduced from just under a fiver to £2.69. That's me sorted for the next few days The Sainsburys I go to is just outside Manchester city centre, so the traffic going into Manchester is usually horrendous, but I had a straight run there and back this morning, even during rush hour. The aisles were fairly quiet as well, though I suspect it will be much busier later on. It started raining heavily while I was in Sainsburys and on the way back along the M602 the signs were flashing for an accident further up past my junction - I hope it wasn't too serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 mouse bless her. I have Wispa here telling me that the best thing for feeling sad is to cheer yourself up with a long bracing walk in the pouring rain. As far as she and I are concerned, it is probably true. But I won't recommend it to you, Jazz. Stick with the mouse cuddle. Thanks everyone for your good wishes for Polly, Wispa and myself. Buddyboy, I remember that walk well. Polly went over the Bridge peacefully and very quickly in my arms. She was semi conscious all the way to the vet. They were very good and whisked us straight into a consulting room ahead of everyone else. Vet agreed with my decision, and thinks it likely, taking all symptoms into consideration, that she had a brain tumour. It is strange without a puli, as I have had one and usually two around for the past twenty years. Wispa and I have just realised just who has been in charge of the owlery all along. Oh well, we will just have to learn to fend for ourselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil_angel Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I dont remember if it was the same beach walk as when Georgina met you and Polly but it did remind of the photo I have of Louie & Polly at Ogmore a couple of years ago. Im glad the vets were compassionate and that she went peacefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
