Please help our family to pray for wisdom to make the best decision for our dog, Beau. He has some type of fungal infection that is invading his body and it is not responding to treatment. We are waiting for results to determine if his condition is pythiothis- and if so, we will be faced with a quality of life decision. Beau was given to our son for his high school graduation 7 years ago and is the sweetest 4 legged fellow that you would ever want to pet or play fetch with. My heart is breaking, because I know what is coming unless God chooses to intervene in a mighty way. We lost our 14 year old Rottweiler on Aug 13 of 2015- so we were not prepared to deal with another loss this soon... Thank you for your prayers. #HeisstillGodandHeisstillonthethrone
So sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved pup This article may help you find comfort as you walk through your grief. https://www.thriveglobal.com/stories/10668-the-one-thing-no-one-ever-says-about-grieving Many prayers & BIG HUGS for your family!!!
Final Update- Beau has passed over the Rainbow Bridge. The doctors did everything that they could, but the infections were too strong to be cured through available medical means. We were blessed with excellent care by our Vet and her staff. She made a terrible situation a little easier to bear. Thank you all for your kind words and prayers as we said our good-byes to our four-legged family.
Today is the day. Just when I think there are no more tears, they flow again. please pray for my son- this will be most difficult for him. Beau has been his constant companion since he got him as a high school graduation gift. Thank you to all of my friends that I have yet to meet for lifting us up in prayer. It means a lot. #itISwellwithmysoul
Update! Beau has 3 separate types of bacteria growing in his body- where they came from- we do not know- all we know is that he is not responding to treatment and fluid is starting to build up in his back legs and we fear his lungs. We have a consult with our vet this morning to make sure that no stone has been left unturned. Decisions will need to be made after this visit for what is best for Beau. We do not want him to suffer, but it is so hard to say good-bye.
