Caleb is really a stunning pup and those shots are so great! What times you must have together!

I dug up an old thread instead of making a new one.
AND this is a link to a new thread in my Soul Food forum (you won't have to read anything else there) about what Caleb is battling this week. Thanks for reading! http://forums.psychcentral.com/3445019-post1.html

What a beautiful dog!!
 He definitely does have long legs & looked so cute into those socks at Disney World. What a terrific companion and helper ~ thank you so much for sharing pics of Caleb!  ETA: I just now saw and read the link to the other thread that you posted. You and Caleb are in my thoughts & hopes. ((((((JD))))))

Today he is doing quite well, even frisky and wanting to go out and play frisbee often. I've had to limit his food to only the new Hills I/D due to the pancreatitis, but that and his meds are doing wonders! Whew! (He keeps bringing me empty bags representing his former treats, telling me he wants one (or more!)
AND, thank GOD, the vet wrote the I/D food prescription for 2 years, saying he may need to go on and off it... 2 years! Why 5 weeks ago they were saying he would die in less than 6 weeks. God is good...all the time!

Hmm thought I had updated a few times now...
Caleb has all but finished his 8 th week since his diagnosis. Some days the lymph nodes are swollen but not so large. Yesterday and today they are quite large. His neck nodes are impeding his breathing some (but he's still eager to play frisbee!) This is what the vets say will require to put him down (he won't be able to breathe.) I reject this diagnosis! The vet won't increase his prednisone even though Caleb's taking herbs to counter it/protect his organs from it some... Trusting God to honor His promises of faith.  Please keep Caleb in your prayers to God Almighty. Thanks!

Caleb update
He's still a good doggie... and when you look objectively at his life, he's got a great dog's life: eat, poop, sleep, play, ride in the convertible and visit places with me. He's into his 9th week after his lymphoma diagnosis (which I still reject as not from God) and they said he wouldn't live even 6 weeks, and thought I had brought him in at 3 weeks to put him down (those who know the story...)  I have 2 of the vets believing in God's healing ability... I'll have them all when the lymphoma goes completely away which vets say never happens. We'll see about that. Thanks for the prayers, please do continue to be a part of this miracle for Caleb (and me!) by praying and reminding God of His promises that whatever believers ask in His name, He will do it. Peace.

JD and Caleb, thinking positive thoughts for you. What beautiful photos you have of him. He's very photogenic. Best wishes to both of you.

Caleb had a tougher week this week. I had pushed him away at some point and he yelped in pain...the nodes in his chest had swollen quite large and are painful. After securing some pain medicine, I only gave him one (this was Wednesday) ... I don't wish to live in fear and that to me is denying God's Word and promises--doubting-- God can heal Caleb at any second! Pray for this outcome. God is never late; I eagerly await seeing the completed miracle. Pray with me, thanking God? (Caleb was written off at 3 weeks and now he is entering his 12th week= 3 months. I have ordered only a week's worth of n/d canine cancer food (I have a week's worth) so that I won't have any left over when he is healed! (they won't let me return any.))

Continue praying for my service dog Caleb. He nearly passed two days this week..yet God raised him back up... he is at 3 months after they didn't give him 3 weeks.
Each and every time I beg God for more strength, wisdom, understanding and faith, He gives a message of hope "out of the blue" directly from Him! Praise God. For an example (and I ask God for these things every half hour or more since I am very weak in faith I think)... I had to leave Caleb Thursday to go to my own doctors... and Caleb could barely breathe or move... my own PCA was able to come and dogsit while I left (as I was sure the devil would take him if he were alone)... as I drove the 30 miles to my doctor's, I listened to Christian radio but just as I went out of range the devil attacked my faith and I begged God for another message of strength.... as I exited the turnpike that very minute, I pulled up behind a Dog Grooming van! Praise God for His lovingkindnesses and mercy. He will heal Caleb not because of His promises (though that is truth too) but because of WHO HE IS! Faith IS the victory. I believe, Lord, help Thou my unbelief! Today Caleb is much better, eating not just mush and spoonfed water, but standing and drinking and eating small chunks of roasted turkey! He even tried to play some frisbee, which he loves. The lymphoma is changing shape and places...perhaps in it's fight against being eliminated! drjean

Yeah, this is why I asked for a Pet Support forum.... rather than begging for support in a fun, social forum.
Please, those who happened to stop by... pray for Caleb?

I'm very sorry for your loss, it's sad but animals often suddenly get better before they get worse.
I also have a Service Dog and can't imagine what would happen if I lost her. |

Yes, I suspected when he scarfed down that meal...but his airway was closing I guess his esophagus hadn't yet...
I don't have a home any more... it's just an empty house.
