I woke up to a phone call from my dad today. My dog, Ela, developed a severe limp overnight. She has been in a medical wasteland of problems since January at least, and my family is pretty sure she had a stroke. My dad is taking her to the vet now. I'm about 90% certain she is going to be put down in the next few hours.
I have said goodbye to her every day since January, but this still sucks. 1000 miles away from my baby, and there is nothing I can do. She has had a wonderful few years with us. From a skittish, emaciated thing that hid in dark bathrooms and tried to run away, to a vibrant, happy dog who would bark until you opened the bathroom door for her. I am going to miss her terribly.
:(
UPDATE: As of right now, Ela is still among us. Her bum leg was caused by dislocation and inflammation around her joints, not a stroke (thankfully). Hopefully the meds work, and the swelling goes away. She's too sick in other parts to be put through surgery.
