My parents' dog
They now are thinking liver failure. Poor little guy. They've tested like crazy, and now he's going in for exploratory surgery on Friday morning. My parents have been warned that they may have to make a difficult decision, so they need to remain on site during the surgery. My heart is breaking for them. He's a sweet little dog, who has been on phenobarb for nearly all of his life, and they're thinking it may have done significant damage. My mom feels guilty, but he needed the meds for his epilepsy, so he'd have a decent quality of life. He's not terribly old, six or seven I believe. Anyone who wants to cross a finger or paw for him would be most welcomed. He's a great little guy, and I'm really hoping the surgery will reveal something totally unexpected but treatable. |

Fingers crossed for Malarki in surgery today  |
| Thinking of your parent's little guy today. I hope the surgery goes well.  |
| Thinking about Malarki.... |
| I should also update you guys on Malarki. He was waiting for his surgery when our Rudy was rushed in, completely jumping the queue. Rudy and Malarki met for the first time, on adjacent surgical prep tables. It was sad. The news for Malarki is, sadly, not good. It appears to be cancer, and it's on his pancreas, stomach, and liver. A biopsy was taken, and it's being treated, but at best he'll have a year. My parents are devastated, and it was especially hard for them to sit with him, waiting, and also have to witness what Rudy went through as well. They watched Rudy's operation through the observation window on the waiting room side, while I watched in the prep room, surrounded by techs and other staff. They have Malarki home with them now, and plan to love him up and give him the very best of whatever time he has left. Friday was a very difficult day for all. |
| Hugs to your parents Friday really was a bad day at your house  |
| So sorry for your parents. Friday was a bad day for all of you. |
| Very sad news. |
| Hugs and prayers to everyone. |
| Tracie, I'm so sorry to hear about Malarki. It's so hard. I hope your mom can come to terms with the epilepsy meds thing; she made the right decision to give Malarki the best 6 years possible. Let's hope he amazes everyone by being a miracle pup! |
