Hi everyone...been a while since I have been on here. And I need to vent a little bit.
I wish I had better news to report but my girl Baby towards her final stages of life. She is now fully blind and deaf. She won't eat much anymore and refuses her dog food (Which was science diet ID - I don't blame her on that!). I give her boiled chicken, carrots, and peas now. She is at least holding that down but refuses it most of the time. But she is also puky in the morning. Afternoons, not so much. Her body is just shutting down and saying no more. We try to give her medicine but she won't take it and we have tried everything to get her to take it. At 13 years old (almost 14) is old for a dachshund especially one who has allergic reactions to just about everything, beat Mast Cell Cancer, and parvo. My vet said there is nothing that can be done and just let her live out her final days comfortably. They might give her an I.V. to keep her hydrated but that's it. She's alert but not like she used to be, no pain from what I can tell. She is still moving around, eating (when she feels like it), doing her "business" outside as normal. I noticed her eyes have changed which is sad. She still gives kisses, loves to be held, and cuddles.
It's hard because she was my late Grandmother's pride and joy and I lost my grandmother in a horrific car accident in 2008. So it's very tough for me.
Thanks for letting me vent....
