From one doggy owner to another, i hope your pal recovers quickly, it's terrible when our 'best friends' are ill, they show us how to love unconditionally......that's the miracle of our four legged friends :hug:

How true is that saying Ruby,I lost my cavvy a year on Sunday and I still miss him so.TIBB helped me a lot so fingers crossed it will let joey know we are thinking of him.

[Tarryn]

I could not cope if any of my furry babies were really unwell, so I will be sending good thoughts to you & your lovely dog.

Absolutely Kaz, our fur babies mean everything to us, sending you a hug too :hug:

[joeysteele]

Heck, came across this thread by accident,thank you Kazanne and all the messages here of good wishes for my boy and my special pal.

He is really struggling but I want him to have every chance he can possibly have,I have a great friend who is a Vet and she is doing all that is possible for him.
I have completely stopped doing my work and he has my total attention now for as long as it takes,day and night, or events take their other course.

Thank you all again for your kindness and the messages on here.
' Very sincerely thank you all'.

[Cherie]

[Ammi]

...awww Joey my love..:hug:..if it's possible for your vet to make him well again, I'm sure they will and I know that your positive thoughts to him couldn't be any more than are possible to be...:hug:...and Kizzy, I hope that Duke's biopsy, turns out to be not something so serious, I really do...

[Kizzy]

How is your dog today Joey? Thank you all for your kind wishes, Duke is home and sleeping on the sofa :) The vet says initially she's thinking it's just a fatty lump but they've taken a biopsy of it anyway so everything crossed :D

I have my fingers crossed for a fatty lump Kizzy, hope Duke is better soon.

[Ammi]

....ahhh, that's great news Kizzy...and vets see and feel these things all of the time/know the differences so are mostly accurate in their thoughts...hopefully here as well...

[jennyjuniper]

I hope your best friend gets better Joey. The world is a better place for having dogs in it.

[Cherie]

Good news Kizzy

That must be such a relief. So happy for you & Duke.
I know what a worry it is when something like this happens.
Give Duke a BIG hug from me & my furry babies :hug:

[joeysteele]

Since so many have sent kind and uplifting messages to me,I feel I should update you all.

My Dog remains really poorly, there has been some small improvement and he knows I am there but things still look very bad.
He has a really bad infection and there has been only small responding to the drugs being given.

I am assured he is not in pain or distressed so with that assurance I want as much done that is possible for him as can be.
He does now respond to me more,I was told yesterday by his Vet, that I could take on some small optimism as his temperature is dropping slowly now.

Again, thank you to everyone for your kindness and good wishes for him.

...he's having the best of care, Joey and there has been an improvement with his temperature lowering...if wishes/positive thoughts can make a difference then he has a whole forum full of them...and you do as well...:hug:..

[Kazanne]

Thinking of you Joey,he is so lucky to have you caring for him,fingers crossed.

Hi Joey just seen this, if his temperature is lowering and he's more responsive that's a really good sign his body is winning the fight against the infection.
Thinking of you both :) stay positive x :hug:

But there are good signs.

[joeysteele]

First off I really hope you have had good news as to your Dog Kizzy.

Things have significantly improved for mine over the last 36 hours,earlier today he took his first solid food for weeks,his temperature is now well down and today he hauled himself into his lying position with his paws in front of him.

The Vet says we can now be more optimistic and although a fair way to go as he has not been on his legs for near 3 weeks now she does feel the infection is likely beaten now.

Many thanks and appreciation to all who left me your kind messages and thanks to Kazanne so much, who has been a rock for me and there for me these last 2 weeks almost now as my fears increased.
Really, I do appreciate strongly every single thoughtful and kind message on this from everyone.

[Niamh.]

aww that's great news Joey :hug:

[Suze]

[rubymoo]

I'm so pleased for you Joey :hug:

[Kizzy]

Yey, really pleased Joey :) what great news! Duke has a cone on as he wouldn't leave his stitches alone and is seriously unimpressed with it haha.

[Kazanne]

It's great he is improving Joey , fingers crossed onwards and upwards and Kizzy I am sure Duke will be fine ,keep positive xx

[Cherie]

[Tarryn]

So happy for the both of you.

Thankyou Ammi, I remember how Tibb was a help to me when my Paddy died last year, I was heartbroken ,but the kind words and thoughts of people do help and I know how much Joey loves his boy and I'm so pleased his hard work has paid off.

..and he's made of steele, our Joey...

...aye, it's not a bad forum, for sure, is it...

It isn't indeed Ammi,and its is why I love this place and see most on here as extended family really as the best way to describe it.

I just wish to update that things look so much better,yesterday,(Saturday), afternoon the Vet and I got him to stand up and despite weeks of being off his feet, he took his weight.

Walking is hard and understandably very much more a case of hobbling than walking, also only have to slowly walk him while supporting him round the house.
He has another 2 weeks of antibiotics left as vet has extended the treatment again.

However,I am so pleased with his progress already and again honestly and sincerely, I thank Kazanne and everyone who took the time to wish him and I well on this.
You truly are good people and all your good wishes and support are massively appreciated.
I actually got a full nights sleep last night for the first time in weeks.

That's great. Joey. :hee:

[joeysteele]

Juts want to again thank you all for your good wishes and thoughts.

Thankfully, my Dog is well on the mend now, he now can go out and although walking slower at present as it seems the infection affected 2 of his legs, he is pretty close to being back to his former ways.

A few tests to be done but what a relief that is to me.
Honestly, thank you all so much for your kindness and a special thanks to Kazanne again who has been a rock to me through this as i said before.

[Kizzy]

Excellent news Joey :D So pleased he's enjoying being out just in time for the sunshine too :)
Dukes wound has healed lovely and it appears it was just a fatty mass so that's brilliant.

So glad for the news on your Dog too Kizzy, good news all round thank goodness.

Great news Joey and Kizzy :love:

I was dreaming about my dog Curly last night, he died a couple of years ago :(

[joeysteele]

Unfortunately and sadly, I lost my Dog on Monday afternoon, he had been doing really great but collapsed on Monday morning.
the VET says he has died from a stroke.

Obviously I am devastated but because so many wished him well on this thread and Kazanne and Mock were amazing supports to me at the time he was ill in the recent past,I felt I should post it here and thank you all again for your past really good and kind wishes.

[Ninastar]

Aw nooooooo :sad: I'm SO sorry to hear that, Joey. I know how much it hurts to lose a pet and I bet you're in so much pain right now. Hope you feel better soon though <3 :love: :hug:

I am so ,so sorry Joey, I know how much you loved him,just know that you did him proud he was a lucky dog, it's upset me as I thought of when I lost Paddy last year,it still bloody hurts,:bawling: but what great memories he has left you with BIG hugs.

[Jamie89]

So sorry Joey, must be a very difficult time :sad:

[rubymoo]

I'm so sorry for your loss Joey, it's devastating to lose a beloved doggy friend, my thoughts are with you, he was a lucky boy to have you as his human friend, remember the happy times, the licks, the waggy tail, and the times he made you laugh :hug:

[arista]

Sorry for your loss Joey
dogs mean so much to all of us.

[Mystic Mock]

I'm so sorry Joey for your loss.

These scenarios aren't my strong suit, but I wish your Dog is in a happy place somewhere watching over you.

[joeysteele]

Thank you very much Ninastar, Jamie89,rubymoo and arista.
I really appreciate your kind words,all my very best to you all.

[bots]

[smudgie]

So sorry to hear of the loss of your loyal friend Joey.
The only thing I can say is remember what a lucky dog he was to have such a happy life with you.

[Niamh.]

[joeysteele]

Thank you bitontheslide,smudgie,Shaun, Niamh and AnnieK so much all of you for your understanding.

He is a really big miss,he was totally my special pal.
This is a real hard one,harder than I ever believed it would be for sure.

[hijaxers]

OMG Joey i have only just seen this thread , i was smiling on page 2 as things were looking really good , now i'm in tears , i am so very sorry you have lost your beloved best friend , you must be totally heartbroken , as you say it really is unbelievably hard and takes months to get over - as i well know.

My thoughts are with you and i'll light a candle for your boy today.

[DemolitionRed]

I've only just found this thread too.

So sorry Joey. Thinking of you at this sad time xxx

Yes, I allowed myself to be really optimistic and he was doing so well,he was no doubt my best friend.
I thought I said this one here but somehow it seems to have not printed,I read something and it came across so true.

It was a picture of a Dog talking to its owner and it was saying something like.... 'I cannot be your best friend for the rest of your life as my life is shorter but I will be your best friend for the rest of my life'.

He sure was that,all the way.
Thank you so much for your really kind and understanding message hijaxers.


Thank you too DemRed, I always knew this day would come but I clearly hadn't prepared myself properly for it as it is far harder than I ever imagined.

As you say it is a heartbreaker but true,sorry I didn't mean to upset you rubymoo on this.

Thank you parmnion, that is really good of you.

Also Cherie,again thank you for your kind words before too when he was very ill a few weeks ago.

I have 2 dogs myself Joey and have had dogs in the past that i've had to say goodbye to, and can say that it literally breaks my heart every time, the thing with our fur babies is that all they ask is for love, a meal, a walk and to be cared for, and they give us so much more back, they give us the most important and pure thing in this universe and that is unconditional love, and that's why it hurts to say goodbye. Thinking of you :hug:

[Ammi]

...awww Joey..:hug:...Joey I'm so, so sorry...I'm not going to feel too sad though because I recall when you would update me about uni and how you were getting along etc..and how having him there with you helped you so much, uni can be such a difficult time/being away from family etc but you were able to have part of your family with you, with him there...those times when you and he would go for walks and you were able to clear your head etc and focus yourself..?..he made that journey with you and that's something that makes me smile and grateful for...and that's what I'm thinking about now.../your times together, that you were able to spend some of the most important parts of your life with him and share them with him...:hug:...

Ammi, you always say the right things.
It is odd but you got me recalling my UNI days and whenever I had to stand up and give any presentation,I always used to do it with him sitting or lying there.:joker:

He used to turn his head to one side then the other while I rambled on but was ironically a massive help as he never interrupted and said, 'I wouldn't say that or put it that way',
Then when my Uni work was prepared,I'd say the magic word,'walk' and up he jumped.

Thank you Ammi,this is a really difficult time but I am getting there.
Really thank you again for those truly uplifting words.
