My dog Rocco who was my very first dog is very very ill. We are unsure of what he is suffering from but it’s not good at this point. I was hoping to take the day to nurse him to health. He’s stopped eating and drinking other than taking from a syringe. The vet cannot determine what is wrong either. It started with not holding food down, pacreatitis, blood in lose stool. He now lays motionless for the most part unable to make a move or a sound. As if he is paralyzed he just doesn’t have the strength after not eating and not drinking on his own and being so ill. He’s 13 years old this year already so as a half boston/half ratt terrier, he has led a long and good life. Please pray for him and his illness. Please pray he is not suffering from physical pain and that he goes peacefully without struggle. Please pray for him as he has been my savior in a way. I didn’t realize there was a Saint Rocco until after I named him. Then when I learned of the Saint Rocco I couldn’t believe it was such an amazing story and one that made me truly believe he was my gaurdian angel and that he was brought to me by God to help me through difficult times and he has certainly helped me get back to who I am, learn to be child like again and play and have fun which he knew how to do so well. Pray that he is taking in peace and that God and Saint Rocco and Saint Francis are there for him when he arrives in heaven.
Please pray for my puppy, Cane. The vets have had a lot of trouble figuring out why he is unable to walk or run normally. He has gone through many different tests to find the root of his problem and if it can be cured. Please keep him in your prayers so that he may be able to live a normal and full life. Thank you.
Please pray for my yellow lab Ham. He is suffering from imha and is currently very weak and we don’t know if he can pull through. He is our family and we need all the prayers we can get. Thank you!
Please pray for my dog Skippy as he was diagnosed with an enlarged heart and a murmur. He is going to a cardiologist tomorrow and we are praying that there’s something we can do. Please keep him in your prayers, we need it.
Please pray for my dog, Mikey. He was found this afternoon having seizures and is now in critical condition. He seems to have eaten some poisonous fruit when no one was looking and the poison has entered his bloodstream. The vets are fighting to save him. Mikey means the world to my family and I. Your prayers are greatly appreciated. Thank you also for this page on St Roch, whom I will pray to for help as well.

A blessed day! I humbly ask for your prayers and your hands to lay upon my dear, Ruffles. He is currently in the hospital suffering from parvo virus. Even though there are already many cases of survivors against the deadly disease, my boy had only two vaccines against it. He’s only 4mo old and his body is getting weaker and weaker as days passed. May all of our dear animal friends who are suffering at this hour experience love and warmth so that they may be able to surpass the pain.
