My Border Collie Jill

[shikano53]

I realize this is the wrong area but I wanted to post here if that's OK.
Our 2 year old border collie Jill is in the hospital. Her 2nd birthday is Monday. Yesterday she started vomiting blood and by this morning it was worse. I took her to the vet and he is still not sure what is going on and she won't retain her medications they are giving her. They are going to keep her over night and put her on an IV. They said the amount of blood in her vomit was getting worse. She and I are inseparable. We go everywhere together and she is always by my side.
I guess I'm posting this because in some way the people on the forum feel like family and I felt the need to tell someone. I know it's just a forum, but in some way the people I have met, actually spoke with, interacted with over the years, feel close.
Thank you all for listening.

I understand completely. For most people who have companion animals (and are companion animals to their creatures!) they are among the best friends, and closest, that we have. There is a reason my wife calls me a border collie, and bought me a t-shirt featuring the breed, so we understand. I will say prayers for Jill, and hope she recovers and heals completely. I don't have to tell you to visit her as much as you can; creatures take comfort in seeing us. Optimistically I will say, in two instances we have had animals, cats in this case, who were seriously ill and recovered. One was so aware that going back to the vet, he didn't complain at all; he knew it was a help. Hang in there. Keep us posted.

Sorry to hear about your dog Jill. Dogs (and cats) are part of the family and we love them. We put our beagle, Boomer, to sleep a couple of years...cancer. It was one of the worse days in my life.

I hope they figure out what's wrong with her and she recovers. Good luck.

Breaks my heart. My dogs are family too and it is terrible to go through something like this.

I hope your Jill makes a full and quick recovery.

My 8 yr old border collie, Romeo, and I are praying for the two of you.

Dogs are the only thing that will love you more than themselves. Just keep being the person your dog thinks you are.

I am praying for Jill and you as well. It is often amazing how resilient dogs can be and how they can recover with some medical support and loving care.

Get well, Jill.

I’m so sorry to hear that. My dog is like a child to me, so I know what kind of attachment you feel. We’ve had a couple of close calls with him as well. It breaks the heart to see them suffer.

Prayers going out to your little sidekick. I've put a few dogs down, and I know the horrible feeling when they become ill.

 

[JMcQ]

Get well soon, Jill. My two fluffy guys, Linus and Morgan, and I will keep you in our thoughts.

Thank you all so much for your kind words and prayers. I haven't heard back from the vet yet today but I will keep you all posted.
Thank you so much again.

Buddy doesn’t talk much, like how he agrees with me, we love our Buddies don’t we.

Hope she recovers well my friend. Could she have gotten into something poisonous or sharp that she could chew up? Did they do an xray?

Praying for your puppy ?

 

[bullet08]

Hope she gets better quick.

Praying for both you and Jill. May the two of you find comfort in each other again. I've been there, and know how hard this is. Make sure you are by her side as much as she was by yours.

 

[hauntedmyst]

Prayers for her to get better!

 

[wordheavy]

It's very hard when pets get sick. I hope and pray she heals completely. God bless you both.

Prayers for you and the pup. It's never a good time when your furry friends are in pain.
