Oh Polly! You silly girl, what on earth did you eat that messed with your belly so badly? I'm glad you are feeling better.
That is PAWESOME she is doing well. Between the awesome therapy she got, and the pred, it does sound like her quality of life is stable and WOOHOOOOOO fro the clear x-rays! You guys ROCK!
Keep up the pawsitivity and excellent care she's getting. Yeah, I believe the hyperbaric could have a lot to do with her improvement too. I've heard great stuff about it. Where did she go for treatment?

We had to let Polly go last Thursday. She had lost more function in her hind legs. There was also a growth in her belly and she was panting more often. She was always a really active dog and we could tell that it was time. We didn’t want her to suffer. She was such a fighter till the end. Our hearts are broken. We will never forget her.
My heart goes out to you, I'm so very sorry. She fought so hard through such difficult circumstances, and you gave her the best life any dog could ever ask for. This is a tough thing to go through but you did right by her. You put your own heartache aside to let her go in honor of who she was, and how she wanted you to remember her. That takes courage. And now the grief hits, and we are here for you.
What amazing, wonderful, and compassionate parents you were to her! Cancer is so mean but it can never take away Polly's beautiful warrior spirit and all the good times you shared together. The spirit of Polly will always be part of your heart and soul, that will never leave and on so many levels, she is always with you.
When and if you are ready to share a tribute to her, please do. We would love to celebrate the happier times you had together with beautiful Polly.
Much love and many condolences coming your way from all of us.

This is just so sad and we are all so very, very sorry. You gave it your all and every step you took was ALWAYS with Polly's best interest at the forefront.
And Polly gave it her all and let you know when she was ready to be free of her earthly body....free to run fast with a wagging tail and Happy bark as she reached the Rainbow Bridge. She knew you loved her enough to give her that gift.
Having been such a loving caregiver these past several weeks and now to jave that routine stopped creates such a void. Your days and nights are now filled with tears,
At some point the tears will start to subside and be replaced with smiles because of all the Happy times you and Polly shared. Polly wants you to think of her with a smile in your heart.. You can be assured Polly wags her tail and wiggles her butt everytime she thinks of you.
And yes, please share some more of Polly's adventures with you. We already know the unbreakable bond uou have with her, but tell us about some of the silly things she did....some of the things that made you laugh....even if it was something naughty, but it still made you laugh.
You and Polly are family and always will be♥️
Surrounding you with Polly's eternal bright light of love
