    *UPDATE*
    Spike did not get to come home. His blood work still wasn't good, although better. He's also dripping and they're afraid he could be blocking again. At least he's in good hands!

    The vet called again last night and said Spike's kidney levels are not coming down like they should be. He said he isn't giving us a grave diagnoses, but he's pretty concerned about the levels. They will see how he's doing today and get back to us. I thought we'd have him home by now.

    Oh Lisa, I am saddened to read the latest update. This is very worrisome! You and Spike are in my thoughts and prayers today.

    1/11 - A.M. Update
    Spike is getting a little better, but not to the satisfaction to release him home. They will run more blood work today and see how the levels look. Gosh this all happened so fast. One day Spike appeared just fine, and the next day he's in the hospital. I will try and visit with the camera this afternoon. Thanks everyone!
