Ishtay “Moose” was my baby girl.

We had been through a lot together. A few months after we got her she was always getting sick. Vet visit after Vet visit she wasn’t getting any better and the Vet told me there was nothing else she could do for her and we either need to go to another Vet or put her down. We found an amazing Vet that within a couple hours figured out what was wrong. Moose had SIBO (Small intestinal bacteria overgrowth). She was put on some meds for a month and we just had to pay very close attention to her needs. In 2016 she got very sick again and after a couple weeks she was diagnosed with a very rare skin disease SNP (Sterile nodular panniculitis). With such a rare disease no one knew how long we would have with her. We made it longer than anyone thought. The most they thought we would get would be a couple years and we made it 5 years. We had an amazing Vet Clinic that took very good care of her and was by our side the entire way including the day we had to make the difficult decision to let her cross the Rainbow Bridge. Her body was just not able to keep up any longer and on December 28th, 2021 we said goodbye.

Ishtay was my photogenic girl. She loved getting her picture taken. She was my best friend and the keeper of all my secrets. I miss her everyday.
