Prayer for a Sick Pet

Heavenly Father,
Please help us in our time of need,
You have made us stewards of (name of pet).
If it is Your will, please restore him (her)
to health and strength.
I pray too for other animals in need.
May they be treated with the care and respect
deserving of all Your creation.
Blessed are You Lord God,
and holy is Your name for ever and ever

Basilica and Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation.

Esther:)
there is a terrible heatwave here set to last yet another week! And many pets are dying from being left outside.

Could you place a warning for pet owners to BRING their pets inside. No matter if you have trees and have left water outside..The temps are topping to 115 degrees outside.

So many pets are dying because owners are not being responsible!

Peace, joy and love to you Esther:)

Please add CeeCee (dog, our "child") to your prayer list. She is 10 and has suffered from epilepsy all her life. She went into status on Thursday morning, seizing for 1.5 hrs. She continued to have seizures every few hours for about 48 hours after this episode, despite being heavily medicated. Her recovery has been slow, but at least she is recovering somewhat. She is scared and lacks some vision and balance. Please pray for her!

Hi, My name is Megan, and I'd like to ask you to pray for our golden retriever Sasha, who was just diagnosed with a fast growing cancerous tumour on his face. He's an amazing dog, and so much more to us than just a pet, and I would be so grateful if you prayed for him to be able to spend as much time as possible with us, and for him to be pain free.
Thank you so much!

We came home from the Vet. yesterday with a can of Salmon cat food that the Technician gave to us. As soon as I opened it up, Gabby starting eating like crazy. Since yesterday, Gabby has been eating the Salmon and drinking water, etc. This morning she was up on the counter, with the other 3kitties waiting for food and seems to be coming back nicely. We have one more visit with the Vet. today and will be coming home with special food for her. Thanks for all of your prayers. I will continue prayer for the the other pets and owners on this website.
