Prayer request for Rusty (from the CA BBQ)

[gini]

I just talked to my dear friend and neighbor, Pam. She was on her way to the vets to pick up Rusty.

He has rather suddenly become extremely ill and she rushed him to the vets this morning. She has to pick him up because the vet does not have an overnight person to care for animals.

For those of you who have attended my BBQ - you have met Rusty - the Golden Retriever who is magnificent.

Please, please keep Rusty in your prayers - he is Pam's life and far too young to lose. Ginger, his sister, has been whining all day.

Thank you................Gini

This is just so sad. Rusty and his sister Ginger stole my heart the first time I met them. I'm sending lots of bum scritchies to him along with my prayers that it's nothing serious. Do you have any other details Gini? Did he perhaps get into something bad?? Lord I hope it wasn't antifreeze. I'm sorry that I've been so busy but I will be watching for positive uppydates. Thanks for letting me know Gini. Please give Pam a {{{hug}}} from me, OK?

Get well soon, Rusty. I hope the white coats can figure out what's wrong.

Thanks, Slick and Val.....

Pam was very upset when she told me.......so the details aren't very clear.
She said that he had diahrea all night - was vomiting and foaming at the mouth. He also has lost four pounds in less than a month.

That is all that I know right now.

Oh no!! Poor sweet Rusty and Pam! Urgent prayers are on the way. I really hope something can be done and that Rusty recovers quickly. Pam is a sweet, sweet woman, and I'd hate for her to endure this loss too.

Please do keep us updated, and let her know that we're all pulling for Rusty here at PT!!!

**hugs**

Gini, I just got home from work to check on this thread to see if there was any news. I'm going to light a candle on my mantel for sweet Rusty and say a prayer for Pam and her family....fur and otherwise.
