That is really very hard. Fisher is having some problems, too, and we aren't
sure where that it headed. It is sure not this serious yet, but it is
painful to know that he probably is not as well as we'd like.

Hi Sherry.
Sorry to hear this.  It's bad when your old friend isn't well, and worse
when the vet can't figure it out.  My old gal Echo lost control of her
relieving when she got to be 17.  We tried a diaper, which didn't work very
well.  Then we left a relieving harness, bag attached, on her most of the
time, and that contained things a bit.  And we got pretty good at cleaning
the carpet.  So I feel your pain.
Good luck to you and your old gal.
Tracy

For the past 3 weeks on and off, my now 15-year-old retired guide dog Bailey
has had severe diarrhea to the point where I left her at the vet to be
observed.  I thought she was doing better, but she now has it again.  It is
very frustrating.  She gets so sad when she has an accident and it really
takes work on my part to make sure everything is cleaned up.  I am taking
her to the vet today to see what they say.  They said this time, they will
probably want to run blood work.  The last episode was a bacterial diarrhea.
She has to fast for 24 hours when she gets this.  She doesn't understand why
I haven't fed her today.  I want her to have a good life-what is left of it.
I have had her a long time.  Have not made any final decisions.  I just wish
she would get well.  She is pretty healthy otherwise, aside from some
arthritis, which she takes medication for.  Thank you for letting me vent.

that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future.
Every day we raise the expectations

of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind
people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what
holds you back.  

Together with love, hope, and determination, we transform dreams into
reality.
