One day, my dog, Roxie, came home from being out side for almost 3 hours. We thought she had been lost and started to call neighbors and family members that live close. The next day she started acting weird. She got a fever and starting pooping and throwing up everywhere in the house. We took her to the vet, to find that she had lime disease. She was put on very strong medication as well aa a cone. She was miserable. After two weeks of this it began to perish.
She was fine for two years, but then the symptoms started to come back. She was 14 now, which is pretty old for a dog. This time the disease came back with vengeance, her immune system was not strong anymore, decrepit. My mom thought that it was time. She proposed the idea to us but of course, we denied at first but realized it is better for her. Even though my

Of course, it was nice and sunny, while I was going to be up in my room, shot through the heart. Even though I had a friend over, I could not hide my guilt. Before she left, we gave her every single last treat that we had made for her. That day, my mom saw me cry. She has never seen my cry and that hit her hard. My sister balls all the time, but my mom and I never cry. The last time I had seen Roxie is when she walked out the door with my father. We left to get some ice cream to try to calm …show more content…
I asked my friend if I could come over to his house and hang out. Shortly after I arrived there my sister called me and she started to talk about Roxie, I yelled at her telling her that she was going to make my cry again. She agreed, I could hear her crying on the other end of the line. Guilt, the thing that made me cry. I hated keeping up with Roxie and taking care of her so she could have a happy life. I was not the reason she had a happy life. I wish I took care of her better. It took me a few days to recoup but still, she is on my
She got a new disease called stenotrophomonas, which is very difficult to treat. She was becoming pan-resistant, meaning she was resistant to everything. She had a bacteria called Gram negative. This bacteria has an armor formed around the negative bacteria that makes it harder for normal antibiotics to cure it. She was left with only one option, a lung transplant. For one, it was a very risky option since her body was so weak, and two, she would have to wait until a transplant even came up for her to have. She ended up getting the lung transplant though. Two years after she came home from the operation and she is still alive, but she has to be very cautious every day. She takes a handful of prescriptions twice a day and still picks up bacteria easily. Her mom said she has gotten pneumonia twice already. Her life is now extremely difficult, but she is at least
A few months ago, she was diagnosed with leukemia and has been receiving Chemotherapy. The doctors have confessed that the Chemo has not had any impact, and found a donor match for a bone marrow transplant.
She was diagnosed with Heartworm disease about 4 years ago. As you can imagine, I was devastated to receive this news, especially since I had her on prevention, which is a medication to prevent heartworms, since she was a puppy. After some research I discovered that the prevention she was on only protected a dog with a weight of 25-50 lbs, well she had gained a weight of about 60 lbs. so the prevention she was on was pretty much useless.

On a cold winter day, my family was getting ready to meet at my grandma’s house like we had done our whole lives. Christmas was one of the most important days of the year for the Robertson’s. Each aunt made entrées and deserts along with the delicious food that my grandma made each year. Food and family were the two main reasons everyone loved Christmas. On the way to Triune where my family lives, my mother started to cry which I thought was odd for
Credibility: A few years ago, my roommate Anna was desperate to find a new puppy. The easiest place for her to find one was an online site full of cute Pomeranian puppies. Although she really wanted to save a dog from a nearby shelter, she completely fell in love with a picture online of a beautiful brown and white Pomeranian puppy. Immediately Anna purchased the puppy online and ended up receiving the dog soon after. Paisley was a ball full of what seemed like healthy energy. Anna took great care of her and made sure she had everything a puppy needs. About three months Paisley started having seizures and was taken to the vet. The vet said that Paisley had a blood defect that was commonly seen in dogs that came from puppy mills. Sadly enough, Paisley had to be put down because she was in too much pain to recover.
siblings and I bothered her for something and I selfishly cried flailing around about my boredom.
Our coach called a timeout and showed us the game plan. We’ve done the play before and it was pretty tuff. As he called the players name by name I heard my friend Ryan and Luke get called, but not me. As the face-off was happening my adrenaline starts rushing. It just kept on rushing more and more. There was twenty seconds left in the game and Luke skates off the ice in a slowly fashion like there was no hope. The Ice Dogs push the puck into their zone and I rush onto the ice. As that is happening the huge kid takes a slapshot from the blue line and Ryan goes onto his knees and blocks the puck. The puck was rolling past the defense and it rolled right onto my stick. I watched the clock tick down as I had a wide lane ahead. It felt like
The day that changed my life. It was 7am that morning I woke up and got my black dress on with white lace at the top. I waited for my dad and brother to get ready as I waited I sat and thought to myself “how am I going to get through this today?” I never did find an answer to that question and I probably never will. I walked into the funeral home that morning, and with my family we entered the room this was the very last time I will ever get to see my grandma. She laid there as I stood there looking at her, granddaughter to grandma. She looked completely like herself mostly other than the makeup which wasn’t her at all. My grandma was apostolic which if you knew my grandma you would know she never wore make up. Not in her entire life all 94 years of it. But it was kind of relieving to see her look so peaceful she looked like herself in her handmade rose colored blouse and
When the end of my 5th grade year had hit; A land mark of the most traumatizing event of my life was about to take place. My mom had left my father and took us along with her. Over the summer and a few addit...
"Dad! Please, it's for Cromwell and mostly it's for me. This is what I need! Cromwell should be able to pursue his dreams of running as Izzy should do her soccer," Kevin winced, but continued "I'll take Cromwell out and I’ll train him! I'll save up money for lessons and everything, please!"
I cried in my room for hours wishing my dad would not go, a whole month without him seemed like the end of the world. I would have no one to play hockey with, no one to tuck me in at night and no one to eat donuts with every Friday. My dad tried to console me but I was too angry to listen to him, I suddenly hated my grandpa for causing my dad to leave me alone. At the airport my dad gave me a long hug and told me to be brave since I was now “the man of the house,” (even though I am a girl), I had to take care of my mom. Promptly this made me suck in my tears and stop acting like a “loser.” It was hard repressing my feelings, seeing my dad leave made my eyes tear severely but I held them back, the man of the house does not cry. Time went by faster when I was at school, I had less time to miss my dad. About two weeks later, my mom got a call from India, my grandpa had died. My mom broke down crying, she slammed the phone across the room into the wall. I felt scared to appr...
Many important parameters such as disease history, clinical description, diagnosis, treatment or prognosis might be explained to the veterinary profession. Case report could present a novel finding; explain an undocumented course of a familiar disease or description of a rare disease. New and emerging diseases and rare complications of interventions could be documented. A case report could provide early warning systems for new and emerging diseases. Rare complications of interventions may be reported that may not be documented in other research trials.
As a kid, I fell in love with the idea of getting a puppy for Christmas. Wrapped in a small box with a bow on top sitting under the tree just like the movies and tv shows I had seen. I can remember making a Christmas list of all the things I wanted that year, and every year the same thing that I wanted had said “puppy” with it underlined so that my mother knew which was my favorite on the list. Every year no surprise, I didn’t find a dog. I never understood why I never received one. When the kids at school talked about the few dogs they had at home made me so jealous, but I hoped that one day it would be me to have my own best friend at home.
"Honey," my mom yelled to me one sunny afternoon, "Go out and feed Sugar." Sugar was our dog, a big, husky lap dog. I went to our kitchen, and got some food. Then I stepped outside, into the warm, fresh August air, looking for Sugar. I glanced to where I kept Sugar, and couldn't believe my eyes. Sugar was not there. I ran to the place where Sugar slept, I saw that the leash was elegantly coiled up. I knew that Sugar could not have run away. I thought that she must have chased a deer or another animal. Then a disturbing thought hit me, Sugar might have been abducted. As I tried to push that thought out of my mind, I thought that my mom could have put Sugar out in the garage. I went to the garage to check, but unfortunately Sugar wasn?t there. ?Mom,? I cried after a couple of seconds, ?Do you know where Sugar is??
Ever since I can remember I’ve wanted a dog. Never did I think that dogs would end up being by biggest fear. I was just a little kid around 6 years old when it happened. I was walking home from my friend’s house when I saw a stray dog, it was in the middle of the street blocking my way, I decided to walk past it, while I was walking it started growling at me, I hesitated but still kept trying to walk then suddenly it got up and started barking empathically towards me. I was terrified, my first initial reaction being a 6 year old kid was to scare it away, I was ignorant. I picked up a rock and threw it at the dog thinking it’ll get scared and run away. I was wrong. The dog had enough it made a whimpering noise then started barking even louder
