Glad to hear Buddy is doing so well now. It definitely is hard to see our babies failing.
Madelon, owned by DOC. DOC dx EPI 5/2015 = TLI < .4, B12 406; Folate >24. DOC taught me so much and together we battled and overcame EPI, food sensitivies, environmental allergies but we lost the cancer battle. DOC was dx with hemangiosarcoma 5/2022 and crossed the rainbow bridge July 24, 2022. He is and always will be the love of my life, my soulmate, my heart dog.

How nice that your baby girl is healthy! May she have no more problems. You were so good to take her in from the streets. I also have my baby, my Leah. I don't know the breed as she was given to me when she was very tiny, a little puppy. I know how hard it is to watch that baby gets sick. It is so heart-breakable. But when I'm not feeling well, she's always with me, too, never leaves me. Every six months, I get depression treatment from the doctor, and she never leaves me, even in the most difficult periods. Always taking care and lying by my side, her warmth helps a lot. So, we need each other - our pets and their owners.

Why did you decide that talking about depression on such a forum is a good idea? It is better for you to contact a specialist.

It's great to hear that Buddy is doing well now, and I completely agree that it's tough to see our fur babies struggle. I'm glad your baby girl Leah brings you comfort during difficult times. Our pets truly have a way of being there for us when we need them the most. They're like family, right?

Hi Mike, maybe you would like to introduce Busya to us in a new post? We would like to know about Epi test results, B12 and Folate, what diet you are feeding and enzymes.
Is Busya on any medications? Please start your own new post.
Thank you
