MyHolly.jpgDo you remember a short while ago I posted a picture of my little dog Holly caught with a piece of sandpaper in her mouth! Well she developed real strange habits and the latest one a few days ago was to rip wallpaper from the wall and eat it. I also noticed that her gums were looking pale so I phoned the vet. I took her to see the vet yesterday and he admitted her straight away to the veterinary hospital for tests. The vet phoned me an hour later to tell me that my darling little dog is very, very sick. The vet said if I had not taken her to the vets she would most likely died over night. Holly’s blood levels should have read between 35- 55 but they were only 10 and a dog with a reading of 8 is a dead dog. He is trying his hardest to boost her blood and save her life. Please pray for my little sweetheart. He doesn't know what is causing her anaemia, that's the thing we yet have to face. I feel so bad because I could have taken her to the vets when her strange behaviour started, but I didn't realise why she was doing it. Please don't ignore any change in your pets behaviour as it could be because they are trying to help themselves through an illness.


Hugs Jane.

Jane, I'm praying hard for Holly! Poor little girl.  bear_cry Jane, you must not blame yourself.

It's been my long, long experience with animals that any change in appearance or behavior can be cause for worry, but many times I've gone to the vet for nothing. It's hard to know. Sometimes there is no sign of trouble at all until an illness is far advanced, and sometimes there's a genetic time bomb that you can do nothing to stop.

I hope Holly will be OK  :pray:

bear_sad  Jane, that sweet little happy face is one to love for sure.
I will definitely put Holly in my prayers.  what a little sweetie.
Our daughter took a dog from a rescue group...and had to give her back because she started to eat the wallpaper and then went for the drywall...she ate big holes in the wall.  Hubby was NOT thrilled!!  I wonder if she had the same problem.
You just never know what you will learn on these chats!
Thanks for sharing and a huge hug to you sweetie!!!

oh, dear Jane... (((((big hugs)))))) 
I will be praying for your sweet little Holly.  It feels no different than having a  human child sick...
I have little yorkie terrier girls so I know all too well that if you paid too much heed to every mischievious thing a terrier does you would be at the vet's every day.  You are doing all you can for her and that's what matters now.  Please let us know as soon as you hear anything more and know that you and Holly are in my thoughts and prayers.

Its just so easy to miss something like this.Dogs can be so nutty and behave differently for no reason.Do not blalme yourself,as soon as you thought something was wrong you took her to the vet.I think as pet owners we all put ourselves through hell if we are not soo perfect all the time.You obviously love this wee soul and are giving her a great life,remember this.
I am hoping and crossing everything for a happy outcome.I have been right where you are a few times over the years.

You definitely cannot blame yourself, dogs are nutty animals. they can go on for along time ill before they show any signs that anything is wrong.  :hug: I am so sorry that your pup is so sick. I'll be praying for you. Love and many hugs to you!

  I have pets also and I know how attached you get to them. They are like your little babies. I know you feel bad because you didn't pay attention to it sooner. At least she is in good care now and that is all that matters. My babies Shelby, Lucy, & Baxter say to tell Holly to get better soon!! I'll be remembering you and your little Holly.

Oh, what sad news. bear_sad  I hope all turns out well in the end.  Please don't beat yourself up about what might have happened, or what you could have done; be really proud, instead, that you noticed something amiss and took your wee pup in, which sounds like an act that saved a life.

:hug:
