No
About My Corgi(s):
Not looking for the "perfect puppy", we adopted one that came to us with mild hip dysplasia, Von Willebrand's disease and an eye disorder.

Bailey joined our family when she was 10 months old, and has been with us for 7yrs. Bales has been an amazing addition to our family.

June of 2010, Bailey was diagnosed with lymphoma, the vet gave her 3mos. The thought of having to put down our girl is devastating! We have her on a daily dose of prednisone, but the tumors have come back full force.

    Welcome to the site Pamela and Bailey! What a beautiful corgi she is. I highly commend you for taking on such a wonderful girl with some unfortunate health issues. I'm so thrilled to hear that she's been such a great addition to your family and I'm sure she feels the same with you. There need to be more kind and caring people like yourself. I hope she is doing ok with her lymphoma - I'll be keeping her in my thoughts. It's a shame we didn't live closer as my Alwyn would love to keep her company. Give her a belly rub for Alwyn and I.

    Welcome Pamela and Bailey. She is a sweet looking little girl. I'm so sorry to hear about the lymphoma. We have a member on our San Diego Corgi meetup group who is dealing with lymphoma with their corgi Wesley. I can give you a link to their discussion in case there is any helpful info there.

    My Sidney was just diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia a week ago, and he had FHO surgery on TUesday. I was scared to death to send him to the surgeon, but he's home now and starting to act like his old bossy self.

    Here's the link to Wesley's story:

    Prayers for you and your furbaby.

    Welcome to the site Pamela! I can understand what you are going through, and I know it is difficult. I hear myself in poor Bailey's breathing (I have 3 lung diseases) He just seems so uncomfortable as he tries to breathe. I don't know how many human med cross over to dog meds, I know that albuterol does, as Odie used it at the end. Albuterol is often for breakthrough asthma in humans, there must be something for chronic - tho I would think the prednisone he is already on would help (I am assuming it helped with wt. gain?) I wish you well

    Any word from the vet? Hope that things are going better for Bailey today. My heart goes out to you. You, your family and Bailey will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    Pamela, my heart goes out to you! I know you have lots of memories, but you are lonely without her. Don't feel bad when you cry your heart out for her, she was a big part of your life. I am sitting here with tears for you, Bailey and for my Odie who crossed the bridge 4 years ago. May you have some peace in the coming days, you will be in my prayers. Take care
