Oliver's Bloodtest Update

[Fitmaltesemom]

The following is a progress report on Oliver who is 15 years old.  As you all know he went into severe kidney failure on April 5th, three days prior to his 15th birthday. Dr. Shultz was very impressed and happy with Oliver's results :) His next check up is February 7th.  He is on the KD prescription diet and only is given fish oil  and Pepcid AC in the morning.

I can’t believe my little man is gone.
It wasn’t even his kidneys that failed. His last blood results were great.
His little body just tired out from the colitis, ear infection, ulcer in the eye and the head tilt that he had within a seven day period prior to his passing.  He was losing his balance.  Dr. Schultz believes he may have suffered a brain hemmorage or had a tumor.  His front legs would spread out and his hind legs would give out.  He was also having involuntary movements in his arms.  On his last day he collapsed at the groomer and he looked tired.  At the vets it was obvious he was tired- his three pound body had enough. He was lifeless and oblivious at the end.  He was a true champion !!!!

Dear Elsa,

I am truly devastated to hear about Oliver. He was our champion. As I see Charlene made a lovely note remembering our pups as we navigated our lives together. We lost Darbie on June 10th and the deep longing see her and hold her is immeasurable beyond words. Our brief time with our loves is so great. I believe in my heart, like Charlene, that our beloved friends will greet us one fine day as we are received into heaven. Until then, may you find peace and comfort with each passing day and know you are in the thoughts and prayers of many.

God Bless You,

Lynne and Darbie:)

Hi Elsa, I've not communicated with you before, but, I've kept up with you and Oliver. Oliver was simply 'Blessed' to have you as his 'Parent'. 'Parents' like yourself are an extremely rare commodity these days. I know too well that you have some very rough days/weeks/months ahead of you. Try not to loose sight of the fact that Oliver lived a very long life, and a very good life Thanks to 'You'. You are a 'True' Pet Lover for you never left a stone unturned while caring for him, irregardless of the financial costs.  Take care of yourself Elsa.

Run Free Oliver!

Oh Elsa.......I am sitting here crying!!  Please know I'm giving you big cyber hugs!!!  I felt that Oliver, Darbie and my Sammie had a special connection as we seemed to start this battle at the same time.  Oliver is being well cared for by Darbie and Sammie!!  I know so well how you are feeling and that there are no words of comfort at the moment.  You are a very special person and Oliver was so lucky (as you were also).  I'm sure his kisses were to thank you for giving him such a great life....they are amazing!!

We are here for you!!  I know how much comfort I felt from everyone here when I lost Sammie.

All my best,
Charlene
