I can’t cope

He is struggling a little and hopefully he will be excited but gentle when she comes home. @Ru-bee

She usually checks her emails on weekends as she spends Mondays facilitating and is private practice tomorrow. I did tell her that I couldn’t afford it as Pix is really sick. I’m trying to keep next weeks but I’m not sure as Pix isn’t home yet and her bill is over $1500 already.

She knows how tough things have been so it’ll be interesting when she gets my email. I did originally cancel both but having said I can do next week she may just leave it until then. I don’t know. I’m hoping she is ok with it. It’s short notice for her though. I’ve only ever cancelled one appointment and that’s because work had something that I had to go too.

Oh, I am so so glad to hear that she is okay. But I completely understand why this would feel so hard for you... knowing she has to be taken care of in this way long-term is a lot to hold. You're allowed to cry about this for as long as you need. @Captain24

However, if she is in good hands with anyone, I know it will be you. 💛

One of our moderators actually has a similar situation with their fur baby. Would you like me to tag them here for more support?

I am glad you got some sleep, and if self-care is just focusing on making sure Pix is okay, that is more than enough right now.

Sending big forum hugs your way. 🥰

I still don’t know how she actually is @AuntGlow. she is still at the vets. Hopefully she comes home today. It is a lot knowing that she has to live like this. There is still a very small chance that it’s not permanent but I was told not to hold my breath.

Im not sure I can do it. I love her and will do anything for her but she isn’t going to make it easy for me. It’s going to be really hard and really hard for the rest of her life.

Maybe someone that is going through it might be able to help. Just support and know that I’m not alone.

I managed to do a bit around the house yesterday. Not much but at least the house is clean and Jett is bathed.

I have given myself I little list for today too. But that will stop if or when Pix comes home.

MY BABY IS HOME!!!!!

Yeah @Captain24 !!
that is great news

I’m guessing a huge relief for you

go Pix 🎉🎉🥳🥳

Massive relief! @Flutterbug9. Not much changes other than breakfast and dinner need to be exactly 12 hours apart and she has a needle after each of them. She can still have lunch and she can still have treats occasionally. The only thing is juggling meal times when I’m at work. Mum has to pick them up earlier so she can give breakfast at 8:30 and also when I’m on nightshift has to wait and feed her until 8:30. Which will be hard as mums dog eats at 6.

She looks heaps better. Her tail is up and she is happy. She hasn’t been like this for days!!

That’s is definitely great news @Captain24

You sound heaps happier than you have been

thats good about her meals. Short period of time and pattern of timing will become auto

great to hear Pix is feeling better and, maybe, back to her old self

words can’t convey how happy I am for you

please feel free to keep me up to date with how you, Pix and Jett are all going by tagging me, if you like. No pressure. I’m just so glad to hear you sounding happy and that Pix is home, happy. 💛

Big hugs for you and Pix @Captain24 (and Jett too!) So glad to hear she's back home where she belongs 💜

It’s good to have her home @Ru-bee. She looks so much better than she did. She is still sick with pancreatitis but she is medicated for that. Just a bit concerned how the needle is going to go tonight!

My psych didn’t get my emails so I just went online when I got her link. She then read where I said I’ll just do it as it’s too late and we had the appointment. She is charging me half price for today. It’s to help me out and she is doing it because I always attend appointments and I’m always engaging and try the things she suggests. I think I’m pretty lucky.

So I’m a little concerned. Pix isn’t as good as she was. I have just given her some more pain relief so I’m hoping that helps and that’s all it is. She did take it in some cheese though so that’s better than Saturday.
