Rusty was known by lots of people who all have lovely memories of him, he was a smashing dog in agility, at home and had a super personality. He wouldn't want you to be upset, he would want to bring you joy now as he always did, remember the good times for him and smile. Love Donna, xxx </p> http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/topic.php?id=221#post-1208 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 20:04:07 +0000 Gill 1208@http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/ <p>So very sorry to hear the sad news Lillian. Rusty was a great boy &#38; will be missed by a lot of people but will leave a huge gap in your life.<br /> Think of the good times of which there were so many, he really did you proud!<br /> My thoughts are with you &#38; Dennis, be strong, Gill, Barney &#38; Ted </p> http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/topic.php?id=221#post-1207 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 19:50:13 +0000 valwhite 1207@http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/ <p>With much sorrow I have to tell you that Rusty was put to sleep this afternoon. The senior vet at our practice diagonosed cancer.<br /> Lillian,Dennis,Ernie &#38; myself were with him at the end.<br /> He was a super little agility dog and one our most succesful competition dogs. We all loved him.<br /> Valerie </p> http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/topic.php?id=219#post-1206 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 14:00:44 +0000 Casspook 1206@http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/ <p>Oh no, this is so sudden its hard to believe. Sometimes, I think dogs hide pain and problems too easily and by the time they can't hide it anymore its too late for us to help. Keeps us posted, DO NOT give up hoping, please let us know what the senior partner says. Give Rusty a kiss from me and keep us posted. Love, Donna xxx </p> http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/topic.php?id=219#post-1205 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:57:12 +0000 Karen 1205@http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/ <p>I am so sorry Lillian, Rusty was his normal happy self when I last saw you on the coach to Discover Dogs, its unbelieveable how quickly this has happened. I hope you get some better news tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you. </p> http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/topic.php?id=219#post-1204 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 12:16:07 +0000 lilybee 1204@http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/ <p>thanks everybody for your best wihes. I brought Rusty home Monday evening, a shadow of his former self. Aparently his pancreatis is better but what is giving cause concern is his high calcium levels which can indicate a growth.The scan didn't show anything so they have done yet another blood test which is supposed to very accurate ( that will be another £133 please!)and I think the results will be through on Thursday.<br /> Rusty's breathing was very wheezy so Tuesday morning I am back in the vets who after listening to his lungs said he thought it was a tumour and there was nothing more they could do for him and I should let him go.I wasn't ready to do that so I brought him home.His breathing improved on Tuesday afternoon and he finally settled and slept a long while and when he woke he was much brighter and he even wagged his tail for Dennis when he appeared.<br /> He is not eating he has had nothing since Monday so last night I fed him some goat's milk through a syringe.I did that every 2 hours in the hope he will get some nourishment. I think he is so traumatised by being force fed he is afraid to eat.<br /> He is sleeping a lot and I am praying that he will slip away in his sleep so I am spared the agony of having to make that final decision.<br /> I am seeing the senior partner tomorrow for a second opinion.<br /> I just can't believe how suddenly he has gone downhill. Rusty has always been such a strong healthy little dog and I anticipated him living to a ripe old age, 12 is no age for a miniature poodle </p> http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/topic.php?id=219#post-1203 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 18:03:39 +0000 Karen 1203@http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/ <p>Any news on Rusty Lillian?.

Needless to say I was overjoyed and finally slept for a couple of hours<br /> 9,am Vet phoned to say improvement had continued but he wasn't eating and they may have to force feed him. They still think he may have a growth and he may have an ultra scan this afternoon. He is not out of the woods and the crunch will come when they withdraw treatment, But so far so goog </p> http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/topic.php?id=218#post-1192 Sun, 30 Nov 2008 09:48:22 +0000 Julie 1192@http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/ <p>dont worry mo i will be looking at mine today and planning!!!!!! i already asked donna what she doing at easter!!!! she replied not thought about it yet<br /> never mind we will be the most organised ones before xmas but prob wont have done our xmas shopping as doing to much show planning! </p> http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/topic.php?id=218#post-1191 Fri, 28 Nov 2008 20:33:49 +0000 sumach 1191@http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/ <p>Andrew is quite concerned too Mo, says the pills were taken away too soon! </p> http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/topic.php?id=219#post-1190 Fri, 28 Nov 2008 20:33:00 +0000 sumach 1190@http://www.colchesterdac.co.uk/bbpress/ <p>Sorry to hear the troops are under the weather lilybee.
