Hi all!
Oh where to start! Well, it's my Anniversary today and DH is in Madison at the Horse Fair....No steak dinner for me tonight! Ah well, we'll make it up. It's been a whole 10 years since that cheesy chapel in Vegas where we got hitched! I can't believe it...seems longer.....maybe that's because I can never remember when we got married! I had to look at the old marriage certificate....
*sigh* ah the dog update. I know I left you on a cliff hanger there....Em is better today. Still not eating well. Or I should say he wants to eat all the "treat" type stuff. He will eat canned food so I got some cans for him. He won't eat hot dogs ate the moment so I got some of those Greenie Pill Pockets. Those he likes... He also will be "up" and "normal" like, then kinda just crash into a nap...
Yesterday when Dr.D called with the results, the upshot was to observe him for 24 to 48 hours. His urine had blood and billirubin in it. I was surprised by that one. The billirubin concerned his Doc since the enzyme that was elevated was the worst one to be elevated. It can indicate an acute on set or the beginning of an onset of a number of things that are liver related badness.
After discussing what additional diagnostic work would be needed, and since the weekend is looming I decided to have him rechecked today.
So, Emmie went back in to get more done. His fever was down but still at 101.8. We did another x-ray-that came back fine and we re drew blood to another CBC and also to re check his liver function. We also are going to check for Lepto titers. That will take 5-7 days to get back though. So far we have no idea what he did/ate/drank/got into or anything like that. It could be some form of toxin either from a bug, a plant, or a rhodocide (sp). It could be Lepto although Dr.D said that Lepto normally heads to the kidneys first but that sometimes the liver is effected first although that is not common. So, with Lepto being a possibility, she added another antibiotic to his list of pills he's on. I had to get more pill pockets....
He's the only dog with symptoms, so I'm crossing my fingers that the others don't get ill.
So Emster has more pills to take and he is being more spoiled then her already is. He is feeling better this afternoon....he chased Ichabod so that is a good sign that he's feeling better.
So thank you for all the well wishes!!
Well, I blabbed about Emmie for so long I forgot what else to say! Ah how about Cute pics everyone!
CC-Glad Ramses is feeling better! I actually asked for more Novacaine. Don't know if she complied or not though! I hate when your not numb enough and then the drilling starts. Then they give you more novacaine then you sit and wait...I just hate that! So give me a lot and get it done so I can get on with my day! As much as I love me dentist, I do have other things to do then sit an wait on getting a filling filled! LOL!!
Ok, I'm gonna go eat dinner
