    Talked to the tech at MSU. Logan's IV site became inflamed last night so they removed it. Other than that, he's doing well.

    They'll remove his catheter soon. If he drinks and pees, he can come home. If he doesn't, the cath and IV go back in.

    Fingers and paws crossed!!!!

    Still hoping Logan gets better soon so he can be home where he belongs.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Oh, I hope Logan's catheter will come out, and stay out! And I hope he'll pee a nice puddle so he can come home.

    Sending good thoughts!

    Us too. I just cleaned out his room for him, vacuumed everything, and am washing his pads in the washing machine right now.

    I mean pads he likes to sleep on, not his feet!

    Just got off the phone with Kim and she was asking me which payment plan we want to use (in years), so it sounds like he's probably being released. Don't know any more details than that, it was a quickie phone call as I'm at work right now.

    It came out to be just a hair under $2,500.

    Logan is home!!

    He didn't drink much at the clinic, nor did he pee, but when the vet applied a little pressure, Logan urinated so Dr. Ericksen felt comfortable sending him home.

    Funnily enough, he refused to get in the cat carrier. The tech came out to apologize for the delay and with some assistance, she was able to get him in. Boy was he ever yowling up a storm when she came out with him.

    He cried a bit on the way home, but it was great to hear his voice again. He never made a sound when we'd visit him at the clinic.

    As soon as I got to the front door, he peed in the cat carrier. LOL!

    I took him into the back room where he groomed himself, ate, drank, and used the litter box all within the hour. Yay!

    He's to get Clavamox (antibiotic) twice a day and Buprenex as needed for the pain. I gave him the Clavamox and he bolted before I could give him his pain meds. He came out again for a short while, but now he's hiding in his favorite spot. I think he's in pain, but I'll need Andy to help me fish him out. I wish I could make the poor little guy understand the meds will help.

    It's so great to have him home.
