Lucy Bichon Frise at Rainbow Bridge

[Roverdil]

I saw this little angel yesterday and could not believe how tiny she really was…the poor pet…she couldn’t be in better hands though. Laura, she is a very lucky girl to have you looking after her, it’s not an easy job to care for such a fragile and sick little dog so fair play to you for everything you are doing for her and hopefully the new medication will give her the boost she needs to get the extra weight on her. Take care little Lucy, fingers and toes (and paws) are still crossed for you here.

i just realised i met this little girl on saturday at doggy training. i crouched down and she came right over to say hello in her little red jumper!!!…she really is a sweet little…TINY puppy. lillie gave her a little sniff but she knew that lucy was poorly so didnt pester her.

i hope she gets well soon the poor little girl. you are all doing incredible work

I wasn’t happy with Lucy yesterday the afternoon I was worried she just had no energy and had gone backwards it seemed. I took her to the vet where they put her on IV for the night to hydrate her and flush her toxins out quicker. She is home now, and is in great form. She is eating and drinking, wagging her tail going toilets normally and giving lots of kisses so I am delighted and relieved. She is such a special girl.

Here is Lucy in work me with my dogs having a nap. Jodie my JRT x to her left and Charlie my collie x to her right. Charlie has liver disease like Lucy but was not a surgery candiate, he has been medically managed since Jan this year which means 6 small meals a day of prescription food, counting his protein and fat grams, and supplements and medication around 10/12 times a day he is doing very well at the moment and even competes in agility now.

Lucy has a bit of that little twinkle in her eye today!

Aww look at them all! So cute. They are like little guardians to Lucy

[laurac]

She’s going to get her drip out today, so I’ll ask them to weigh her and we’ll know exactly what she has put on

She was barking at me this morning when I woke up, and did little laps round my legs and grabbed my toes, this was a great thing to wake up to I can tell ya

Den Den Den………Lucy is now 2.6kg, she’s out on nearly 0.7kg in the last week, the vet was delighted!

That is amazing, such a huge percentage weight gain from her original body weight. Well done, its not just a case of feeding her there is obviously from your post so much more to it. Hopefully she will continuing gaining and be fit for her operation soon.

Brilliant news for Lucy. Well done to you all for looking after the tiny lady so well!!!!

Lucy is still progressing at the mo…She is getting 6grams of protein per day now and this has kept her symptoms really under control, its so brilliant and such a relief, as she puts on weigh her protein and amount increases. She also has a lot more energy now she’s no more symptoms and a bit of weight on her and can run up the stairs will play little games with me and she’ll bite my hands now and use her paws to play, she barks every morning when she see’s me and this morning OH let her out to loo and I came down the stairs so she’d not seen me yet and she ran up the garden to the back door, it was so cute and the fastest I’d seen her move. She’s even giving kisses to my other dogs
