This morning we had to put her to sleep and put an end to more suffering with no relief possible for quality of life.
Bailey had been sick since we got down here and have had her into our vet here in Casa Grande a couple of times since Nov. 23. Last Friday we brought her in again and the vet said she needed a blood tranfusion and more care than she could do here. Took her immediately up to the Emergency Animal Hospital in Gilbert (suburb of Phoenix) where she had been since.
She had serious issues with fluid in the lungs, which they drained, which lead to respitory problems and labored breathing. Also had a sack with fluid around her heart and other big issues.
They say it could be the Valley Fever which is prevalent down here in the desert, cancer or the immune-mediated hemolytic anemia they discovered she had.
Obviously we miss Bailey dearly. She loved camping and swimming anywhere but especially on our trips to Eagle Lake north of Susanville, CA. With that we have her ashes in a beautiful urn and she will continue to travel with us. When not on the road she will be on our fireplace mantle at home.
