Yorkie with Lymes/autoimmune disease

To My Dear Friends: Blessed1, Jeffers, and Rev Ray, and all other Genesis Forum advisors, I want to apologize for not responding to you and all your wonderful messages., but let me tell you that they have meant the world to me. You have all given me the strength and encouragement that I need to keep trying. I truly wish I could hug you all in person! First, let me say, that I still DO HAVE Woofie at this point! God Love Him, he is still fighting- although, I am sure it is more for me than him. I took him off the MMS last w/e as I said I would due to his poor condition. As of Sunday night, he was in pretty bad shape. On awakening Monday a.m., he seemed to be even worse. I decided that it was time and that Monday evening I was going to have to let him go. I went to work and had an awful day of depression and sadness. During the day I got a call that my ill mother had to be rushed to ER, which meant I had to go be with her ( 2 hours away). I went home gathered up Woofie and my MMS and went to be with my mom, which meant putting my dreaded decision on hold for Woofie. After making sure my mom was stable as Hosp, we went and stayed at her house that night. Her little Doxy and Woofie have always loved each other and when Woofie saw Penny he seemed to perk up a bit. He ate a little for me and the next morning I started him back on the MMS- not the CDH this time. I used the info that you Jeffers and Blessed1 had sent me on dosing and started back at point A. Due to my erratic schedule, I do not seem to be able to get it in him more than 3 to 4 times in a row though (couple times in a.m. B4 work then maybe 4 times in evening). I wish I could say that he has miraculously improved, but. he is still having problems. I do not think he is as bad as last weekend, but still having trouble walking, breathing, and is bloating again today. I stopped all antibiotics and steroids and also am not giving any other supplements for now. I want to just use the MMS so that I know if it is working. The bloating has me puzzled because it seems to get worse after multiple hourly doses of the MMS. It was not as bad after he was off of it for a few days? I am using the one drop of Sod chlorite to one drop of 50% citric acid and diluting with I ounce of water and administering 3 ml of this hourly. Today is Saturday, so I am administering it hourly today and will be able to get it in him much more. Due to the bloating already today, not sure how it will go. But will keep trying. Thinking of giving him some GasX and see if it would help with bloating? He has a large pouch on the side of his belly which is dark colored like bruising and it seems to be fluid filled. I think it may be blood filled from a hematoma. I would like to aspirate it, but would probably only stess him more. He is not very active today and not interested in food as of yet. We will see how today and tomorrow go............ Please know that even though I have not been good at responding, I read and appreciate all your comments, suggestions, and well wishes for Woofie and I. Your kind words have touched me more than I can express. I truly feel blessed for finding this site and meeting all of you. You are very special people. Please keep up the prayers for the guidance I need to get through this difficult time. Will post updates as I am able. Thank you!
Your forever grateful friend, Bonnie.
P.S. Thank God, my mother is home and doing better.. Cannot handle any more stress at this point!

Love is key to healing.
A topic I will likely write about more one day for here and my radio show.
Woofie has given an example of how Love can help and I will base my hypothesis that a lack of love or self love is often responsible for non healing situations.
Yet Woofie has shown what I hope to. That the Love of another(in this case , Dog) can make the difference between lying there waiting to die and engaging life.
Woofie plays and enjoys his dog friend, this releases endorphins etc that make us feel good, which are released by brain, enter blood stream and we feel better.
Distraction of a love here in Woofie and other cases, to me shows, that a catalyst for healing can be Love and not enough of it external or internal can bring devastating consequences.

Love alone may not be the cure, but I've seen it help in many circumstances.

Bonnie - so glad to hear from you - am sorry that Woofie is not much better - but from what others have told me - even if all you can get in him is a "Smidgen" (love that word - wish I could remember who said it to me- will have to go back and look),

How you are dosing him is how I did Lil Scot - if after a day or so, don't see improvement - you could drop down to 2 ml or even 1 ml, instead of 3ml. Only you can tell, you who loves him so much, can see even a dab of an improvement in him. Are you also giving him the unactivated MMS in his drinking water? That will get a bit more in him.

His bloating - is he having bowel movements?? Is he getting any exercise at all?? Try to get him to walk a bit, as much as you can. The bloat may also be gas from not getting any exercise. Just thoughts. Others, I'm sure know more than I.

Remember always, that I am praying for both of you daily. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Keep up the good fight, but don't blame yourself in any way if you decide you have to let go of him.
God will let you know and will give you the peace about it. Just trust Him.

Rev Ray - amen to that - Love can do things that nothing else can and I KNOW Woofie feels greatly Bonnie's love for him.

hi bonnie

i am so relieved to hear from you.it seems like you are doing the right thing for you and wolfie, and you could even try giving him half a drop of mms/citric. to see if that helps. it might be that he tolerates half better. i have evn seen on here that some try one quarter drop as well. everyone is different snd so it is with our dogs.

i am pleased to hear that your mother is ok and back home. now is the time to relax for a while. you are doing your very best and you cant do better than that.

ray is absolutely right when he says love is the key, when i had my heart attacks and stroke and given just a few weeks, (10 years ago) it was my dog at the time that pulled me thro i am suure of that. there is a special bond between dogs and most owners. sadly she is no longer here but i have many photo's and happy memories and she will be in my heart forever. i have another very special one (7yr in september) my life revolves around the dog(the family and friends think i am bonkers)

i say to them "you dont know what you are missing"

take care and know that wolfie knows.

jeff

jeffers - you are so right. Our pets deep and true love makes all the difference. My family too, sometimes think I am nuts - but who cares.

Thanks once again for your well wishes and wisdom, Blessed1. In answer to your questions: yes I am putting the unactivated MMS in Woofie's water. My senior female Yorkie, and two cats also drink from the water dish. I assume this is alright?
Woofie is having BM's but not much exercise other than to go out or walk to dish. He is in obvious discomfort from the bloating and it is affecting his breathing. He is limping from edema in his legs again. He is not having a good day today. I cut down to 2 ml of the MMS. He has a really bad odor coming from his mouth today too. I think he is getting tired of fighting. I am going to see what tomorrow brings and pray that he has a better day.
I pray I will know it is the right thing and right time if it comes to that.......
I hope that Scott is continuing to improve and getting back to normal. Hugs to you both. Thanks for your friendship, I really appreciate it

I believe in the powers of Love too Rev Ray. I think that is a good part of the reason I still have Woofie at this point, his love for me and mine for him. When he was diagnosed back in November, I was told to not expect him to survive this horrible disease that is racking his little body. I told them and Woofie that if there was any way to help him, I would find it. I spent countless hours researching a "cure" and during that time found MMS and this forum. I may have not had the success that some have had, but I feel that it has bought us some time. I have learned a lot and think that there is a "reason" I was led here. Thanks again for your worldly insight.
Bonnie

Hi Jeff, just so you know, in my book, I think it is cool to be "Bonkers" when it comes to animals! I too am accused of being over the top with my animals. Personally, I prefer animals to some people! I have never had an animal judge me or hurt me.
I admire your views and after reading about some of your personal health problems, I am even more impressed that you take the time to comfort and advise people like me. God Bless you and help you deal with your health issues. I wish I could do something to help you like you have me.
Meanwhile, keep being the awesome dad to your baby. Be proud to be "Bonkers" !

Bonnie, Its most definitely okay for all your animals to drink the mms in the water. Helps them all.

I know that The Lord will give you peace to know if and when it's time to let woofie go. They are such good troupers - they love us SO much. We do our best for them and that's all.

I so appreciate & thank you for your friendship too and all the others who have reached out to both of us in our time of trial and uncertainty.

I have no idea about what smell from his mouth might mean - there are others here who know so much more than I - maybe they will chime in.

Have a blessed day - Love and hugs to you and your babies.
