Rosie Buttons Becomes ill September 2008


Everything over the last couple of years has been tickety boo... Rosies settled in well and shes a babe, everyone loves her, no matter where she goes..

Earlier this year, she had the priviledge of meeting an old lady who was dying of cancer and the lady was a dog lover... Rosie went visiting at the old peoples home and in the end visited lots of people..

Rosie took a special photo with her for the lady... Sadly the lady died but one of her last wishes was to see a dog again and cuddle one. Rosie made that dream come true...

September one of her large lumps on her back bursts and it heals with time and is clear of infection...

What happened next has devasted Gary and I, we love her so much... and will do everything we can as long as shes able to fight, we will fight her corner....

A large lump seemed to appear on her teats, and it was like the size of an apple, back off the vets who think its mastitis but is also very fluidy..... she has this drained several times but it fills up again...

The first injection removed is like straw coloured, then red coloured, the last two drains are like an oily coloured blood... She is put on very strong tablets...

Omg how will she take them they massive pills but we hope and pray it settles down....

Sadly it hasnt, but it has sort of gone down... we get second and third and fourth opinions, one vet said it feels like tumours and one option would be put to sleep... We were shocked... no way, shes bouncy in no pain and we are going to fight her corner...

Another vet said let her live her life... why? why not fight... yes she is high risk for an op been epileptic but its time to fight and our love will see her through... I dont want to look back and say if only we have tried.... Shes fit and healthy so why no fight her corner...

We return back to our vets, me in tears, and he said no I have seen Rosie since she came to you and lets see what we can do........ Please god shes only about 8.... dont let us loose our much wanted collie girl...
