Very, very bad news about Austin

[Austin's Mom]

Austin is ok, I guess. Thank you for asking. He drinks, he pees. He drinks, he pees. Some days (like today) he just doesn't seem himself. He seems sad, even depressed. He loves to go for his walk, and would be sitting behind me staring at me when I finish drying my hair. Today he didn't even get up. The other day I was calling his name and he wouldn't even pick his head up and look at me. It upsets me, it scares me, and I wonder what the hell I am doing to him with these medications. I knew about the thirst, the hunger, but wasn't prepared to see a different dog. I want MY dog back. He sees his vet and the oncol. on May 9, hubby wants me to stick it out until then and maybe give his body a chance to adjust to the meds. But I just don't know.

Oh I'm sorry to hear that Austin is having trouble with his meds. I'm sure you're not doing anything wrong. There are side effects from all meds so I'm thinking that maybe Austin is like this because his body needs to adjust to the all this change going on in it. I know you feel so helpless. You want to take it all from him and bear it yourself. Love sure is hard isn't it. I'm keeping him and you in my prayers and sending lots of healing vibes and slobbery kisses from Ms. Ali. Feel well real soon sweet boy. We're all here for you. Hugs.

I'm sending healing thoughts to Austin and sending you strength. Healing from the loss of you mother and trying to deal with Austin's diagnosis and illness is going to wear you down. Take care of yourself as well as Austin.

I'm sorry to hear about Austin. :( These darn meds and side effects...very, very frustrating. May 9 is not too far off (even though it seems like forever), but maybe just a phone call to your vet might help put your mind at ease. Austin doesn't sound like he is himself and I can understand why you are worried. Please keep us posted. Sending healing and feel better vibes for your baby boy with hugs for the both of you.

Well Austin peed in the house tonite. I went to dinner with Katie, we were gone a little more than an hour. Poor guy thought he was in trouble, head down, nubbie down. I gave him lots of hugs and kisses to let him know I wasn't mad, he can't help it. Red Bank is 24 hours so I called down there, his oncol. isn't in until Sunday, but someone is supposed to call me back later.

I am sorry things aren't going exactly as planned with Austin. Try to hang in there since that is all we can do...I hate that helpless feeling:( Hopefully one of the docs will get back with you tonight before your oncologist comes back into the office and can assist with Austin's symptoms from the meds. Sending healing <<vibes>> his way and lots of hugs for mom.
