ALoha all,
Just a quick update. They did the tests on Guinness' blood today, and unfortunately her levels have not changed. In addition, we've found that she's losing alot of proteins through her urine that are supposed to stay in the bloodstream.
This makes flushing her out a double edged sword. She needs the liquids to help her kidneys, but at the same time, its depleating alot of the protiens she needs in her blood.
I refuse to give up on her, so the vet is going to try a few other things today/tmrw and we'll she if she responds by Monday. The vet isnt very optomistic, but I'm still trying to remain positive. She isnt in any pain, and was still alert & playful when I was there.
Thanks again for all the well wishes.
sully

Just got home from vet. Guinness didn't make it. She went out peacefully with Jess & I petting and comforting her.
Thanks to everyone for their support over the past few days. It really meant alot to me.

oh Sully and Jess ~ i'm so sad that Guiness passed away. she was a great dog, a lifesaver in so many ways, alerting you to the fire...and being a comfort in the time afterwards, as you all recovered. you're not alone in your grief, your tiki pals share in your loss. if theres anything i can do for you.. just call.
sending love

It's not easy to think of the right thing to say at a time like this. Just, sorry for your loss. I know that Guinness was a very special dog.

So sorry for the loss of your beloved pet. Many of us have been there. Once the pain subsides, you'll smile everytime you think of her. I'm sure she enriched your lives & you hers.

I know how difficult it can be when you have to let go of a beloved pet. Take comfort in the knowledge that you did the very best you could for Guinness... and that the pup loved you for it.
