Prayers For Snoopy

[4 Dog Mother]

Please, please keep the prayers coming for our Snoopy. He is so attached to me - the dog that can never let me out of his sight - the one who is always right there if I am not feeling well or upset or whatever. He is so hyper thought sometimes he can be annoying. Having a 65 lb. run and jump on your lap when you are not expecting him (or even when you are) can be a little overwhelming especially when as soon as he "lands" he wants to lick you all over, clean your ears and nibbble a little bit.

Amy had the basic story right. Except the bile went back up the bile duct causing the liver levels to go high. The bacterial infection is the result.

We have a new vet due to our former vet selling her business to this new just out of vet school young man. He seemed real good with Snoopy this morning. We stayed and waited for the blood tests and then he gave him the IV and shots and then told me he would put me on his list to get right through to him if we changed our minds or if things got worse and we wanted to have him put on IVs and stay the rest of the weekend. This is all new to us because our former vet ALWAYS called back when you reached the answering service. Anyways when I called the answering service this afternoon, a vet from a different vet called back and said she couldn't help me unless we brought him in to see her. Well, I was furious and still am with this new vet. I called the answering service and they said he did not put me on the list and therefore they would not call him but if I wanted another vet they would call them. Now our new vet is on MY LIST and I don't think he will like what I have to say to him come Monday.

Anyways. Snoopy is throwing up liquid that has bile in it and it smells to high heaven. My sister's Julia's cat just had a bacteria infection that he almost died from. I am so afraid of losing my Snoopy dog.

I couldn't do anything to save my son, I will be damned if I let an uncaring vet to cause me to lose my dog.

So please keep the prayers coming. We have no vet emergency clinics here so I may have to take him to Toledo sometime tonight to be sure he gets the care he needs.

I am so sorry to hear about poor Snoopy. Isn't there an emergency vet you can call? I can't believe he can't get help before tomorrow. I hope he's going to be alright. He's a much loved dog here. Please get well, Snoopy.

Snoopy will be in our prayers, and you will as well. Pull through, spotty Snoopy! You can do it!

I hope snoopy is better soon..

[cyber-sibes]

Oh Diana, I'm so sorry to hear this. Snoopy will be in my prayers, and I'll keep checking this thread for updates. (((((((((( hugs )))))))))))

*I suspect that we use the same vet. I've only seen this new guy once, and he was good with Star and Sherman -- but what you say is NOT good. We may have to start looking around AGAIN, too.

[RobiLee]

Thinking about you and checking in. I hope Snoopy is much better this morning.

[4 Dog Mother]

Well, we made it through the night. Snoopy was able to drink water every two hours and keep it down - of course it was just a small amount each time but yesterday he couldn't even do that so it is a very good thing. He is walking around a little too - yesterday he laid either on my bed or the couch and didn't move. I just gave him his morning meds and have started to prepare his food. He gets to try food this morning but just a little at a time.

Thanks for all the prayers - I am sure that is what is helping. He just LOOKS better this morning.

I'm am so glad Snoopy is looking better this morning!! I woke up several times during the night worrying about him and praying everything was going okay. Enjoy your breakfast Snoopy...but don't over do it!!!

[Ginger's Mom]

I, too, am glad to hear that Snoopy is feeling better this morning. I will keep him in my prayers. And fingers crossed that breakfast went well this morning.
