***Update***
I had Shubi in to the Vet’s and they repeated her blood work. The uremia is a bit better, showing that giving her the subcutaneous fluids is helping, but her liver is showing signs of stress and she is also becoming anemic. So the news is good and bad.
I had a heart to heart with both of the Vets about Shubi’s condition. Jack and I have talked and we need to decide what to do next.
Here I sit. It’s 12:45 AM and Shubi has been vomiting for about 45 minutes. We were in bed when it started so I’ve already changed my sheets, but the blanket is totaled for tonight.
I’m sitting here because she doesn’t seem ready to sleep yet. She is sitting in her bed with her head up just staring into space.
I’ll have to call the Vet first thing in the morning. I can’t imagine that all this vomiting is a good thing.
It makes me so sad. I keep trying to make it better for her and yet I feel like I am failing.
I wish I could say something that will help console you, but having been through this similar event with one of my cats, I know there is nothing that will really do the trick, but I am so sorry that you’re both going through this. As painful as this is, it does sound like her time is near.
*big hugs*

I am so sorry, Maribeth. I wish you and Shubi peace and Shubi I wish an end to her pain.
(((((hugs)))))
Poor Shubi! Give her the extra hug and kiss from me and let me know what the Vet says.
Just know you have done everything you can and she knows that too! It’s not your fault at all! You’ve been a perfect Mommie to Shubi.
Hi Mom,
I just want to echo Mel’s sentiments that you have been a wonderful mother and friend to Shubi, as she has been to you. I’m so sorry that this is happening, and as we talked about last night, I have been thinking so much of you both. Just know you have done all that you can, Mom, to give her a great life, and to give her lots of love.
I love you and will be thinking of you both lots.
xoxo,
Mandy
awww. thinking good thoughts for you and shubi 🙂
Maribeth, I know how hard this is for you, I wish I could make it all better. But I can’t; and I just hope you know in your heart you are the best Mommy to Shubi and that she’s a lucky dog to have found you.
Poor shubi, but I am sure she knows her mommy is doing everything she can for her!
I’m so sorry Maribeth…My thoughts and prayers are with you and little Shubi….
Oh Maribeth, I’m so sorry. I wish we could take some of this pain away from you. I’ll be thinking about you, and being teary in my office. Hugs.
Oh Maribeth- I will be thinking about you guys. All my love to Shubi.
I feel so much for pets and babies. We all know how much it sucks to be sick, but at least we can talk about it.
