Please pray for my dog.

[3girls2dogs]

My dog got bit by what the vet thinks was a scorpion. Her whole face is all swollen and she can't breath or swallow very well because of the swelling. I have been taking her in every day because they are hoping the swelling will soften enough to lance and drain, but so far that isn't happening.

This dog is very, very important to me. She is like a child to me. She has been a very good friend and companion through some very difficult times over the past 4 years and I can't stand to see her this way.

I had not been coming to CF lately, but I have nowhere else to go it seems. No one else around me seems to think it is a big deal, that she is *just a dog*. My dh is more worried about how upset I am than the dog and although he is supportive, I don't think he really understands how worried I am about her.

Please send her prayers (or positive vibes if you aren't Christian). I don't know what I am going to do if she doesn't make it.

O I'm so sorry to hear this! I'll certainly say a prayer for your baby. I know I would feel the same, my husband and I feel that our dogs are our kids right now too. Keep us updated please, I hope she gets better soon!

I'm so sorry this has happened to your dog, I will be praying for you and your girl through this scary time. May the faithful Father's healing and peace be with both of you.

I pray that Jehovah Raphe (the Lord Our Healer) touches your dog and heals her of the Scorpion's bite. I pray this in the matchless name of Jesus Christ- Amen.

May the peace of The Lord be with you and your puppy. I know this can be a trying time.Have you found out what the problem is yet.

Bless your heart. I'm sure you're scared to death right now. I'll pray not only for your sweet dog to recover miraculously, but for you to have a peace that passes all understanding.

Well, we brought her back into the vet this afternoon. They had us leave her overnight. They are going to operate on her and hopefully fix it.

Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts and prayers. I am so worried for her right now. It breaks my heart to think of her there scared without me, but I know they will make her better and that she will be all the happier when it is finished....I hope.

Thanks everyone for such kind thoughts and prayers.

An update:

We brought her back to the vet yesterday. They are sure it was a scorpion bite that got infected and absessed. They operated on her this morning and she is doing OH SO much better. She can breathe again, and although she is goopy and gross, I can tell she feels so much better because she is all wiggly and boxer-like again.

She is also very happy to be home from the vet LOL. She hasn't left my side all night. I came home from dropping her off last night and I have to say, I was so afraid that something would happen during surgery and that her last thought would be that I had abandoned her. I cannot TELL you how glad I am that the worst is over.

Thanks again for all prayers. They helped, I know they did.

Great news!! I'm soooo glad she's back in your loving care again. God is good!

I'm really glad to hear it! God is really good! I'm sure she will only get better from now on.

I'm glad your doggie baby is getting better, and I'll still pray for her. God our Healer cares about animals too. We've laid hands on a wild duck with an injured leg and prayed for healing...and the duck got well. The poor thing was in a very vulnerable position with her injured leg; she could have gotten snagged by a snapping turtle or another wild animal. But she didn't. God answers prayer even for animals. (His eye is on the sparrow.)

and a pet for your pooch.
