Please say a prayer for my girl.

I think there has been a missunderstanding here. Perhaps a language barrier.
Invaluable means priceless, immessurable etc.
So portrayed1003 was actually complimenting this web site.

Are they expecting the blood test to be done today?

How's she been feeling? Any improvement? -crosses fingers-

Dex is still receiving LOADS of positive "beardie get well" vibes from me.

 

[jfm08]

Yes the blood results im soo anxious!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

 

[Ethelia]

Unfortunatly I didnt get the news I wanted.

Dexter has deteriorated dramatically the past two days and when the blood tests came back they showed a high level of whiteblood cell toxicity and a high level of tissue damage.
With her level of weakness and current state of health the vet said we could try to save her but she would be in pain and the likelyhood is that she wouldnt last out the week so tomorrow Im going to take her to the vets to be put to sleep.
I dont want her to suffer.
I rescued her to give her a better life and I dont want to be selfish and try to string out an extra few days together.

I cant put into words how much joy Dex has given me over these last 6 months, and how much I will miss her.
I wish we could spend longer together but I just want her to be at peace.
I can only hope she knows how much I love her.

Thank you all for your love and support.

Holly

Holly... sending you hugs from across the sea! Just think about how much love you showed her and how wonderful her life has been since she's been with you! You showed her what a life should be like and gave her soooo much love!!!!

 

[amime]

My heart is aching for you. That is just so sad. It's very good of you to be strong and let her pass peacefully instead of painfully. There is no doubt in my mind that Dex knows how much you care. I'm sure she's loved the past 6 months as much as you have.

-hugs from Kenshin and me.

Holly, You have made a very difficult choice but I admire your ability to be so selfless. I can't imagine what it must be like to be in your position right now, but I want to send you my deepest sympathies and warm hugs. Please PM me if you need to talk at all or if you just need someone to listen. As Sunkist said, you have shown Dex what life should be like and so much love.

Im completely devastated now My heart goes out to you and Dex may her offspring carry out her legacy...... i admire yu and your strength

 

[Thor's Mom]

Oh, how sad. I’m so very sorry for you. If it helps, I believe you are doing the right thing. My first beardy Thor became ill like this too. She struggled to hang on for months, while I force fed her. She had a lump in her abdomen, but we could not see an impaction on x-ray. She had deteriorated to the point where she had lost so much weight and was too weak for exploratory surgery. I was able to bring back to the point where we could do the surgery. The vet found an abscess in her abdomen and unfortunately something was going on and it caused her liver to fail to the point where there would be no saving her. We had to have her put to sleep, rather than bringing her out of the surgery. It was very sad for us, she had fought for her life for a very long time and was only a year old.

I wish I had known it was going to turn out that way, as if that had been the case we would have put an end to her suffering much sooner. This really is the kindest thing you can do for Dex. I’m so sorry. She will live forever in your heart. I hope that you are blessed to have another beardy in your future. I can tell how much you care for Dex and the BD’s in this world really need good mom’s like you.

Holly, I am so sorry to hear the devastating news. I am heartbroken for you. I had been checking this thread throughout the day hoping that you had recieved good news. I think you are so brave and caring to make this painful decision. You have given Dex so much love and she definately knows that you love her. You both are in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless you through these hard times. x x

 

[CoopersGrandma]

i am so sorry to find out that the worse news has came your way . but please know that dex knows how much that you love her and what a wonderful and unselfish decision that you have made . sending all the best your way with hugs to help you through this , you are a very loving and brave beardie mommy for sure.

 

[portrayed1003]

Really sorry to hear your news - you have obviously given loads of love to Dex and the little girl gave you much in return. Tomorrow will be hard - believe you me, I went through the same ordeal with my first beardie and was crying at swanbridge vets for quite a while, but try and think of the good that you did helping her and that she'll be up in beardie heaven.

In time you will find it in your heart to help another beardie. There is a beardie rescue service in Hull (now Reptile Land on Anlaby Road - let me know if you want any more details about them in the future), and I'm sure that a caring person like you will be happily received when you feel like you are ready to help. You can't replace a beardie - but things will get easier. Swanbridge vets will treat Dex and yourself with dignity and I'm sure things will go smoothly.

Take care.


In addition, sandi0906 - I hope there was no misunderstanding - 'invaluable' is a compliment - I would have been lost without this forum when I became a beardie carer, especially when I had problems with my first beardie. Please be careful about making comments without being sure of meanings - but if it was an innocent misunderstanding, then nothing is lost and apologies all round! This forum and the vast majority of its members are simply brilliant.
