TO: All of my Irish Setter Lovers and Owners, and anybody else that would like to help me set up a Go Fund Me for John Barry. He has lost two setters in four months. And anyone who would like to help John. I am showing below his last post about Shasha. I can do a Go Fund Me, but am having a lot of difficulty with my picture program.... and can't seem to finish it. Clarence Yee said that we can't post it on the official Irish Setter Lovers Site... so I was going to post it on my account and share with everyone I know on the list and ask them to do the same. So, I am tagging you all first to see if you would be will in to help me. He has already lost Bailey and Ozzy. The vet bills are astronomical. Now I can only tag a few friends. THIS IS FROM JOHN:

John Barry is at Puget Sound Veterinary Specialty & Emergency.

Update on Sasha... I'm losing my little girl now. I finally got an update on her progress from the ER vet on duty this afternoon. Sasha's bloodwork was still looking ok, liver values unchanged, and breathing less labored. Almost no gains on the pneumonia itself and her lungs are still loaded. She is still refusing food and the fever is persistent. She is on IV antibiotics and fluids to maintain her for now, but needs nutrition or she will lose the battle due to being too weak to fight off the infection. The vet on duty today told me she wasn't going to sugar coat it- vet said Sasha was still very sick and we are likely looking at an end of life situation. I can't accept that until I had nothing left to fight with. I've been in torment since leaving her at the hospital Thursday night and had to see her and encourage her to live for us. Brought her favorite toy to pick up and offer to me to keep her company. I visited her at 2 pm and was allowed to occupy an empty exam room with her for 40 minutes. Matt the critical care assistant there is a very kind and compassionate person. He took good care of Bailey too when he was there the first time. He walked Sasha in with her tail wagging and I broke out sobbing and hugging her. He totally understands. We walked Sasha outside and I spent the rest of my visit trying to get her to eat cat food, chicken, and baby food while loving on her. She drank some water, but had no interest in any food offered. I finally had to let them take her back to the treatment area with a heavy heart. I did for apply for and get the CareCredit account when she was there last time. They knew my financial situation and were going to discharge Sasha this afternoon anyway even though she's still in bad shape. Hospitalization rate is $1K every 12 hours. I had enough credit left to let her stay another 12 hours to get her as juiced up as they could get her in the hopes it would be enough to get her closer to being able to fight this on her own. The last update was at noon. I don't know if there has been any improvement or worsening since then. Sasha's time there is up at 11 pm and I will be leaving soon to bring her home. I feel as if I'm bringing her home to die. This hurts so much and I cannot handle much more of this torment. Soon Ginger will be alone...
