For the last 2 weeks we have been helping our 1st baby, our Golden Retriever, Jasmin, to recover from a health crisis...she is currently in intensive care in Ventura, CA at VMSG, and in the ICU...it's pretty bad, Monday night we almost lost her...2 weeks ago she ended up having a reaction with her liver to the medicine she was on Ramidyl (tylenol for dogs) for her bad knee-torn ligament...she was on it for no problems for 3 weeks, then she got liver disease?? My aunt, a veterinarian, took care of her (huge expense that we charged on our credit cards), and was totally improving, then Monday of this week, she couldn't breathe. We rushed her to the animal hospital where my aunt works Caring Hands in Thousand Oaks, CA and her and my uncle tried to save her and she had a collapsed lung and air filling in her lungs...She is currently breathing via a chest tube and a Plerovac with a 70-80% chance of healing on her own from a bubble that burst in her lungs. We will have to decide tomorrow or Friday to keep going (which we can't afford, she is now racking up charges on my mom's credit card) or to put her down...we have been beside ourselves...she's only 5 :( We have been working on sending her good thoughts and healthy energy...We don't believe it only comes down to money at this point, it comes down to as my mom said, her quality of life. Will she be happy, breathe ok, how will she feel, it's so hard waiting, but we are giving her time to hopefully seal up this air hole and heal on her own. We love her very much and are praying for her to heal and be with us for many years to come. She is a big part of our family.
