Prayers on the way for Lilly, you and Katie too! :(
Poor sick babies. :( I will add Katie in my prayers too. I hope tomorrow
brings better news for Lilly. Buddy was only that sick once in his life, and
after many days finally began to eat & keep it all down. Never did find the
cause really, only a guess by our vet. He did turnaround & thrive & so will
Lilly. I hope & pray. (((HUGS))) Liz, Smokey & Maggie.
Lilly has not had a great day. She doesn't want to eat and her white blood cell count is higher (44,000, up from 17,000, earlier in the week). She did eat two bites of a grilled cheese sandwich a few minutes ago, but I was hoping for more, but she turned her head away. She got IV fluids today and Katie's mom loved on her while Katie was in surgery. He could find nothing inside of Katie to indicate cancer or anything else. I got to give Katie a little loving too, this afternoon, when I went in to get Lil. Bless her sweet Labbie heart, she is hanging in there. We'll go back in the morning for some more medication and fluids. We're fighting, but good gosh, this is getting very hard for Lilly and for her mom, let alone Dr. Robinson and Patsy, who have hung in there with us through all of this. He kept apologizing to Van (Katie's mom) and me tonight, for not being able to figure out what in the world could be causing their problems. I think it would be easier to solve if one of my others was having the same symptoms. Katie is an only dog so there is nothing else to compare to.
Keep praying and sending those positive thoughts. Lilly and I appreciate them.
Love,
Logan
You already know I'm praying as hard as I can for Lilly and Katie. What a mystery. Poor babies. {Hugs}, Logan, I know the whole family is agonizing.
So many prayers for Lilly and Katie too. Not knowing what is wrong is so insanely frustrating. :( :(
*HUGS*
Still praying for all of you and thinking of you all every day. :( I'm so hoping for some good news and I know you all are too. :(
I am so sorry to hear about Lily, you both are in my thoughts and prayers.
Continued positive thoughts and energy and prayers flowing for Lilly and Katie.
Good evening, my friends. I'm sorry I haven't checked in sooner today.
I do think I have what is some pretty good news, though. Last night, right before we went to bed, Miss Lilly went out to do her business and obviously had some issues because she looked like she hadn't finished doing her business when she came in. She passed about a 2 ft long cord of some kind. We have no idea where it came from, but it was obviously the culprit causing the infection. She was like a new dog this morning. Happy, hungry and ready to play. An amazing transformation. We took her for another injection of antibiotics and vitamins today and she literally pullled on the leash. We hope that as she eases back into eating, things will be fine. She just had two rather large new potatoes for her dinner and some cooked carrots and would have eaten more if I had let her. She was under my feet in the kitchen while I was preparing them. It is astonishing that after two very worrisome weeks, my girl is better.
Lilly will continue with antibiotic treatments until that white count is back in check. :)
Hope you all have a good night and stay warm. We are freezing!
Logan
Thank God It Passed!!!
So, everything came out well, in the end? (GROAN! LOL)
I bet she'll feel SO much better now!!!
Oh my, miss Lilly. I am so glad you "got that out of your system". :)
Where ever did you find that thing?Please don't worry your momma like that.
So glad to hear you are feeling much better now. :)
They eat the darndest things, don't they? I think all of you will be glad this is behind you!!!
YAY YAY YAY!!! You silly Labbie gril you!! Lilly is all better!! This must have been the best looking poop you ever saw ;) What a relief for everyone! I'm ecstatic! :) :D :)
YEAH!!!!! I'm so happy for Lilly girl!
Oh Lilly I'm so happy for you!! I hope things continue to get better since you passed that. *HUGS*
Lilly, sweetie, don't ever do that again!!!
I'm sure your mommy would fix spaghetti for you if you should want some. No need to look for your own!!! :D
Logan, I'm so glad she is feeling better!!! :D
I think we can put this thread to bed now. :)
Lilly is continuing to do better and better. She is eating and playing and other than stiff hips, she is doing great. Dr. Robinson checked her over this morning and was very pleased. She got one final injection and as long as she is continuing to eat and not have anymore digestive problems, she is "released" from further treatment. Hallelujah!!!!! :D :D :D
Thank you all for your prayers for Lilly. I know they helped to pull her through!!!! :D
What wonderful news, Logan! I'm so glad your precious girl is feeling better now! :) :)
Thank you, Sarah!!!! :)
So everything came out well in the end...or at the end or....
Well done Lilly...I've been following your progress and am so pleased with the outcome...er....er :rolleyes: :D
Oh Logan, I just saw this thread. I flashed through it looking only for your posts and my heart was in my mouth.
Thank goodness Lilly is alright and eating well.
Oh my, these critters that we adore - give us lots of grey hairs!
It came out, for sure, with a little help from her mom :p , but it was so worth it! Our girl is doing GREAT!!!! :D
Logan, I just caught up with this thread and I'm happy to hear that Lilly is feeling much better now. :)
Give her a big hug from me. :D

Hey Lilly --- try to stick to what's IN your BOWL ... not what you can scavenge up. :rolleyes:
Another Chapter in the Book you otta write.
:D
PS: THANKS, God! ;)
Thank goodness, whatever it was, is out of her and Lilly can get back to normal! :)
Phred, it was like a string out of a sweatshirt or sweatpants. And yes, I took it in for them to examine it. I believe it had to have come off of one of Mack's toys, though.Quote:

Watch for the shoe that shoelace belonged to come out! :rolleyes: ;)Quote:

Lilly has gone back to spend the afternoon at Dr. Robinson's office. She is throwing up again, not eating, and now has diarrhea, too. He is running blood work and perhaps giving her iv fluids, too. I'll know more later when I go back over to pick her up.
Please keep my Golden girl in your prayers, one more time.
Logan
Oh darn. :( Maybe Lilly didn't pass all of it. :( Prayers for Lilly as long
as it takes, poor girl.
Lilly, Lilly, more prayers for you sweet girl.
The new bloodwork indicated that her white count is going down. That is a
good thing. But her red count has dropped, too, which means she is losing
blood and is slightly anemic. He said that he walked her outside, observed
the diarrhea and it is full of blood. Her colon is apparently bleeding from
where I pulled that string out. She got a good dose of B vitamins, iron,
and antibiotics, as well as a shot of Reglan (to help the nausea) and some
liquid medication to coat her tummy and intestinal track and help the
diarrhea. I gave her an injection of Reglan this morning, and forced her to
swallow about 20cc of the anti-diarrheal medication. He said at any sign of
change in her behavior or continued digestive problems, I am to call him,
right away, and he will meet me at his office (they are closed on
Thursdays). Otherwise, she will go back tomorrow and spend the day so that he can observe her. I pushed him about her recovery and I never did get a real strong "oh, she'll be fine in no time". I gather this is pretty
serious, but that is why it is so important for me not to wait if I see
anything getting worse.
Lilly is much less enthusiastic this morning. She is sleeping and did ask
to go outside around 5:45 this morning for a little while. She wasn't
interested in eating this morning, so I didn't push her. She had a little
bit of boiled potato last night and some bread and she did digest all of
that because when she threw up overnight, I didn't see any of that come
back. They did tell me, this morning, that the iron and vitamins probably
gave her a little boost, yesterday, and made her feel better, thus her
enthusiasm last night.
Patsy (the vet tech) called me this morning around 8:15 and said Dr.
Robinson had already called her to see how Lilly was doing. He woke her up!
Ha Ha! I'm glad he cares enough to follow up that early and he knew I would
call Patsy if I had any problems. We'll continue to watch her closely, as
he said we had to do, and if anything changes, I'll call them right away. I
went to the office and got my stuff and brought it home so I wouldn't have
to stay there. I may have to go back for an hour or so this afternoon, but
I hope not.
He does not believe that any of that string (or whatever it was) is left in her system, since we got such a big piece when she did pass it. And I asked if there was any possibility that her intestines had been perforated by this "thing" and he said "absolutely not" as she would be "down" in a much worse way if her body was being contaminated. Whew! I guess that is the bit of good news I have to report today.
I'll keep you posted. Thanks so much for the prayers.
Logan
Prayers still on the way here. Poor Lilly, I'm sure her intestines are irritated beyone belief from having that sting in them so long. If she is taking iron pills, they may upset her tummy too! Mine always did!!!
Get well soon sweet Lilly!!! Prayers flying and all paws and fingers are crossed here for you!!!
I spoke with Logan a couple times yesterday. Lilly and she spent the entire day at the vets. Tests now have indicated kidney failure. Lilly has had a blood transfusion which is a last ditch effort to turn her situation around. Please say some prayers for this golden girl. She's had a very rough time things don't look good.
apparently there is something really bad going around
like that it started in hospitals but people are going around giving
it to everybody but people dont know they have it for 48 hours because
it takes that long to come out so that might just be it
Hi everyone... This message is a cross post of a dear friend of Logan's who is very close to her. I'm cross posting because our dear Lilly needs all the prayers she can get now.
Logan was so hopeful yesterday, cause Lilly at a bit of canned food on her own, but then she ended up throwing that up again last night.
Lilly is back at the vet's. The doctor had planned to do more X-Rays, Barium, etc., and possibly exploratory surgery to see if there was still something there, but our Lilly has gone into kidney failure.
They're giving Lilly blood transfusions and aggressive fluid therapy to try to get her kidneys functioning again. No surgery or anything can be done until they accomplish that.
Lilly is critical at this point. Logan is at the vet's with her, holding her as they try to help her.
All of you, please pray. Pray hard today for our Lilly girl. They're doing everything they can to help get her kidneys functioning again, but it's gotta happen soon if she's going to make it.
Logan will be calling me later with an update. I'll keep all of you updated every chance I get.

Betty also started a candle for Lilly. It can be viewed here.
Candy
Candy, thank you for the updates on Lilly. I feel so bad for Logan & Lilly. :(
I kept thinking surely Lilly would have come around by now. I will double my
prayers that Lilly will come through this. Such a young & precious girl.
