He has a neuro muscular disease (LONG name…) that he will now have to live with. There is medication. There is hope. Of all the possibilities presented to me at the hospital, he’s in best possible position. Which, is still not good. But it’s a hell of a lot better than it could be.
He will be hospitalized at least another day or two… continuing with my hopeful good thoughts and thankful for such an AMAZING hospital staff.
May, I am thinking of you and your sweet boy. I’ve got a 4-legged baby that is a piece of my heart, too. Hang in there.
Awww…I’m glad that there’s a somewhat happy ending!
Well it still isn’t a positive outcome……….but it sounds manageable and there is hope. I’m still thinking of you and hoping there is a good outcome!
Glad to hear that the outlook is promising- good luck and hugs to you.
So glad to hear it is something that can hopefully be treated with medication. Our 4 legged friends are a big part of the family too; Will keep You,Jake your family in my thoughts.
May! I am so sorry that jack is sick, My dog sneezes and i freak out. They are like silent children, I wonder if the human kids could learn a thing or two. I hope that Jake will be up and giving wet nose kisses in no time. Know that i hope everything will be great and please keep us updates. I will keep you and jake in my thoughts. –April–

Oh my thoughts are with you and Jake, we had to put down my Dh’s work dog last week because of the pain his hips were causing him, it is such a horrible thing to go through, I am hoping for a positive out come for Jake and your family.
Oh May, I’m so sorry to hear this news. You and Jake are definitely in my thoughts. I hate thinking about what could happen to Helix, so I know this must be incredibly rough for you. Keep us posted, and I will be sending all of my good vibes your direction.
Wishing a quick recovery for him May.
Although this news isn’t exactly what you hoped for, at least it is something you can work with. Hopefully Jake will respond well to treatment and have several more years of love to give. Thank God for modern medicine and for the doggie doctors who take care of our fur ‘babies’. Keep us posted. Jake is in our thoughts and prayers.
I’m thinking of you today, May.
I hope he won’t be in pain! Will they be able to control that?
I’m so sad it wasn’t just a really bad tummy flu! =(
I should take my big-dog-Dexter in to have his tummy checked; it gets upset from nothing these days and now I’m scared!
Hope he gets to come home soooon!
Oh May, I will think good thoughts and keep Jake in our prayers! I know how much we love our furry kids and when they hurt, we hurt too. You know I have a fondness for Jake 🙂
Big hugs to you all and when you see Jake please give him a scratch and rub from us!
May, I hope Jake will be able to go home soon and that the medicine will help him feel better. My heart goes out to you (hugs).
continued prayers for your baby boy!!
Hi May, I hope all will be well with Jake and he will get to come home soon.
Hugs,
Diane
