UPDATE on Sandy

Thank you all for your purrs and good wishes for our Sandy-dog. We
brought her home Thursday after six days in the hospital. As feared,
she *is* near the end of her road. Her kidney function is at 20-30%;
the vets worked hard to turn her around but nothing can be done now
except "paliative therapy". She is eating again, taking Pepcid for
the excess stomach acid, even COQ10, and is *SOOOO* happy to be home.

She'll have Sub-Q's as needed and made as comfortable as possible.
And she'll let us know when it's time.

Again, thank you for your concern.

I'm so sorry. Enjoy the time you have with her.

I'm sorry the news wasn't better for Sandy. I know how you feel. I was
also told last autumn all I could do for Frank was give him palliative
care. Many purrs that your time with Sandy will not be that short, and
that she will be happy and eating and feeling good for a long time yet.
