Good bye to Lexi
In September, Lexi was pretty sick, and a couple of rounds of antibiotics and anti-emetics appeared to have resolved her issues. But some odd numbers in the blood work were never explained nor could they be related to the gastric symptoms she’d been exhibiting.
She started up with further digestive issues again last week, and by the time we got her to the veterinarian on Tuesday, it became clear that she was a much sicker puppy than just some tummy trouble. Her platelet counts were way off, red cells way down, and while she was eating and drinking just fine, she was losing weight she couldn’t afford. By yesterday afternoon it was clear that she was failing rapidly.
In consultation with our vet of 15 years, we decided it was time to say goodbye to Lexi, and went over in the late afternoon to have our last cuddle with our little dog, and hold her while the vet eased her across the finish line.

Condolences re Lexi, whose appearances I’ve enjoyed over the years.
So sorry to hear about Lexi.
My condolences. We’ve been through that too many times, And keep coming back for more.
Been watching for pictures of her for years now. What a cute, wonderful friend. I’m so sorry. I know that pain. It’s the cost of the love they give us. She sure was a cutie.
