    Default My dog Patch

    Some of you long-timers on here know me by my avatar of my 2 dogs. Patch is the big white one and Lotus Blossoms is the smaller black one. After several days of odd and at times terrifying behavior, Patch was diagnosed today with a tumor at the base of his heart. It's inoperable. Holistic medicine is the only option, and it's palliative. This is a bleeding tumor which causes episodes of sudden bleeding and drops in his blood pressure, causing him to go into shock and be unresponsive. My vet said at one point he just won't recover after one of the episodes. It's a grave diagnosis. Thankfully I have the best holistic vet in the world.

    Patch is my heart. I can't explain how much I love this boy. I've had him for 11 of his 12 years and this came on suddenly. Please, would you keep Patch in your prayers/thoughts? We just moved into a new place over the weekend which is much better for all of us. I may not be able to get back to you if you contact me but know I'm reading your messages. Thank you, my friends.

    My heart is aching for you Sangye. I'm so sorry about Patch. I'm glad you have Blossoms. Both of you will have such a hard time dealing with losing Patch, but at least you will have each other. And you will have us as well.

    Sangye,I'm so sorry to hear your Patch is sick. I think most of us knows how hard it is to lose a pet because they become your best friend. I went to the dog pound yesterday to give the dogs treats and they had to put 2 down while I was there because they were so sick with parvo. And I really wasn't close to these dogs but I began to cry. I pray that your dog lasts a long time and you and Lotus Blossom can enjoy him in your new home. Hugs to all of you

    Thankfully you are so in tune with Patch that you knew something was wrong.

    Oh, Sangye. My thoughts and prayers are certainly going out to Patch and you and Lotus Blossoms. What a blessing that you have a holistic vet that you think so highly of, to give you the correct diagnosis and realistic prognosis. I hope that under his or her care, Patch will keep going with a good quality of life and you will all still be able to enjoy each other's company for a long time to come. I'm glad you feel good about the new move and hope Patch will be comfortable and happy there.

    I can't imagine how hard this must be for you. Our little pals can be the biggest comfort. Like others have already said I hope the treatment can extend his time and you can enjoy each other for longer in your new home. Thoughts and prayers for all of you.

    I am so sorry Sangye. I know how it feels I lost my dog and 2 of my cats.
    I hope, still, that he can survive, and that the holistic med can help him. many times the docs prediciting pesimistic prognosis and it turns out worng.
    I will pray for Patch and for you. sending lots of hugs...
