I’ve gone back and forth for days about sharing this… but so many of you have been part of mine and Delilah’s journey, and you deserve to know ❤️
Delilah has been fighting health issues for most of her life. What started as allergy testing opened the door to years of vet visits, specialists, and constant trial-and-error treatments. She’s an incredibly complex little soul, and even her vets work together to figure out what might help her — hoping each step gives her some comfort.
Lately, things have been getting harder. Her health is declining, especially neurologically and with her stomach. She’s on a lot of medication, but it’s taking a toll. Her belly is swollen, her appetite is almost gone, and she sleeps most of the day. Even excitement can leave her disoriented. And now, the treatments that once helped don’t seem to be working like they used to.
I spoke with her primary vet — someone I trust deeply — and while she was gentle, she was also honest. Delilah has an ultrasound scheduled on the 8th so we can better understand what’s happening inside. There are some concerns about what we might find, and I’m trying to prepare myself.
I’m still hoping for good news… but I also have to be realistic. My sweet girl is 8 years old, and she’s been so strong for so long. But she’s tired. And if the results come back the way we fear, I’ll have to make the hardest — and most loving — decision for her.
For now, we’re cherishing every moment we have left together 🤍
And maybe, just maybe, she’ll surprise us like she always does.
Thank you all for loving her along the way.
