Prayer Request for AJ the Dog

Dear Friends:

My dog AJ has been throwing up bile and she has had a few accidents in the house with soft stools (sorry to be graphic). I think it was something she ate. I have had her fasting from food for almost 24 hours. Please keep her in your prayers and if you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Mahalo!

I found this info on Yahoo Answers:

After the 24 hour fast (he can still have water during that time) you re-introduce his food BUT you only give him about 1/4 of his normal meal. You wait a few hours and then give another 1/4. Continue doing so for the rest of the day.
On the following day you can start to feed him his regular sized meals.
If at any point the diarrhea does not stop, or stops and comes back again, then you take him to the Vet. If he continues to vomit you take him to the Vet. If he seems sick in any other way (stops playing, is lethargic etc) you take him to the Vet.
Only follow the schedule above if he is doing ok and the diarrhea has stopped.
Some dogs may need to go 2 or 3 days on the small meals before going back to their regular feeding schedule.; September 5, 2012 at 6:35 PM

EC Gefroh said...: Oh, thank you too! I tried giving her only a bit of her dry dog food but she won't eat it. I gave her a bit of cheese just to see if is hungry and she ate that. She was pretty snippy with the other dogs today and usually is is Miss Congeniality.; September 5, 2012 at 7:14 PM
Lou Ann/PA said...: Hi Esther . . . . . Blessings to you and AJ!! So sorry - I have very little experience with upset doggie tummies, but can help for sure with the prayers and so am certainly sending lots of prayers for you and AJ!!
May St. Francis, Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, St. Jude, and St. Roch lay their healing hands upon AJ, comfort her, and help that tummy feel better soon!
Thinking of you!!; September 5, 2012 at 11:55 PM

Prayer for My Pet

In Your infinite wisdom, Lord God,
when You created the Universe
You blessed us with all living creatures.
We especially thank You for giving us our pets
who are our friends and who bring us so much joy in life.
Their presence very often helps us get through trying times.
Kindly bless my pet.
May my pet continue giving me joy and remind me of Your power.

May we realize that as our pets
trust us to take care of them, so we should trust You to take care of us,
and in taking care of them we share in Your love for all Your creatures.
Enlighten our minds to preserve all endangered species
so that we may continue to appreciate all Your creatures.

Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayers for Animals and their Masters

Hear our humble prayer,
O God,
for our friends, the animals, especially for animals who are suffering:
for animals that are over-worked,
under-fed and cruelly treated;
for all wistful creatures in captivity
that beat their wings against bars;
for any that are hunted or lost or deserted
or frightened or hungry;
for all that must be put to death.

We entreat for them all
your mercy and pity,
and for those who deal with them
we ask a heart of compassion
and gentle hands and kindly words.
Make us, ourselves,
to be true friends to animals
and so to share the blessings of the Merciful.

Albert Schweitzer (1875- 1965)
Theologian and Humanitarian

The Rainbow Bridge

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called "The Rainbow Bridge" because of its
many colors.
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge,
there is a land of meadows, hills and
valleys with lush green grass.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm Spring
weather.
Those old and frail animals are young again.
Those who have been maimed are made whole again.
They play all day with each other.
But there is only one thing missing.
They are not with their special person who
loved them on earth.
So, each day, they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up.
The nose twitches, the ears are up, the eyes are staring, and this one runs from the group.
You have been seen.
When you and your special friend meet,
you take him or her in your arms and embrace.
Your face is kissed again and again.
You look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet. Then, you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.
