Santa
Over the Rainbow Bridge
After three months on pain killers / anti-inflammatory meds Santa had to go to the happy race ground in the sky. With a debilitating spinal condition, wasting muscles in his rear end & going lame in his front leg we had to let him go. We have had him for nearly four years so it was very hard to make the decision to let him go. After such a miserable life before being rescued & coming to us it was lovely to see him come out of his shell & enjoy life with the rest of our greys. This year has been a struggle for him but as long as he enjoyed his walks, food & play we didn't mind him being slow but the pain was the last straw & so we took him for his last journey this afternoon. Always remembered.

Really hope that Mia continues to improve and they work out the underlying cause and a treatment plan. I've had pancreatitis secondary to another illness and it made me feel very rough indeed so I really feel for your Mia . It is just terrible when our babies are ill and worse still when we are separated from them, so I am keeping everything very tightly crossed that you will have her home very soon and your pack will be reunited once more. They are all so very special. Makes me very proud specially of all the greys who donate blood and its stories like Mia's that remind us all that our hounds really can save lives. xxx

Hi everyone. Thank you so much again for your concern. We have some fairly positive news about Mia and are feeling cautiously optimistic. She has responded very well to the transfusion and has even been up walking around a bit. She has some fluid round her pancreas and they think she may have a touch of pancreatitis, but that is secondary to the main illness which they believe is autoimmune disease. If this proves to be the case they believe they could control it with high dose steroids. They need to do a few more tests but if they are negative we may be able to get her back tomorrow. Last night was just one of the worst nights I have ever had and I don't want to be too optimistic yet just in case and so as not to tempt fate, but we are praying we can bring her home to us and her little greyhound sister who misses her. I am so grateful for your concern, it means such a lot xx

Thank you so much for your comments and responses. They are very, very much appreciated. Late last night Mia underwent an emergency blood transfusion without which she would certainly have been dead by now, and which has stabilised her in the short term. Today is all about tests to establish why she became critically ill so suddenly. The vets have been incredible, phoning us into the night with updates. It has also made us appreciate what a life-saving thing you and the dogs at daybreaks are doing when we read about them giving blood at various times. Mia would not have survived even this long without the donor they found her. Thank you again so very much for your interest and concern and more updates later xx
