In the days before computers, I kept a book (now its all carefully entered in to special folders on the 'machine' and provides me with a complete history) - total sickness record, including jabs and innoculations (and cost of pills / treatment), of each dog. Weight at birth of puppies, ease of whelping. Onset of seasons, boys starting to react (chuddering and showing interest), date relative to onset of color of the first time the girl's tail went over. Just about every aspect of each dog is carefully logged and catalogued.
Time running out for Isis :(
-
I am so sorry to hear about Isis, how heartbreaing it is when you have to make a decision between carrying on or giving tham final peace.
I agree with AJsHuman - Isis will let you know if she is ready to go, it'll show in her eyes.
-
Hugs for you at this time. The best hardest gift we give our beloved animals is the gift of peace.
Hugs, hugs, hugs. -
Sending you both hugs..this is a very hard and trying time for you ..

The Isis thread is about a year old. Here is the thread about her passing:

Labs make mistakes so be glad that they reconized it and reran the test.
-
hi tanza!, how's everything going?. i thought that the only reason they'll run the test again is if the first test was indeterminate/equivocal! but my first test saying: homozygous A/A= at risk for developing fanconi. !!

I read something recently about the whole mercury in tuna thing that I found very interesting and very educational. Before you ask, no, it was not info put out by the fishing industry. It was a book I was reading a little out of that was about the health benefits of a kosher diet. It stated that there is something neat about tuna fish that I hadn't heard before. In tuna, there seems to be some chemical or property which lends itself to the purpose of removing mercury from our system. Because it has been a little while and I didn't pay close enough attention I cannot tell you what this property that the tuna has is and I am sorry for that. I'm sure it would be wise to further research information about it. But it was published information that suggested that eating tuna fish actually reduced one's likelyhood for mercury poisoning, in spite of what the mercury test results indicate the tuna to have. I guess this is sort of like how they are now telling us that the use of sun block may actually be increasing our risk of skin cancer. Personally, I think we will all eventually die from something, and over-worrying something like this is not a direction I will choose to go. But that is a decision which I have made only for myself, you will have to make your own. Perhaps some of you out there are already aware of this tuna/mercury study and can share your knowledge with us.
