I'm going to print out all these wonderful messages so I can read them all to Hannah when she gets home. Each and every one of them makes a BIG difference. I went back to Sue's original post on Killian to try to get more familiar with some aspects about elevated liver enzymes, etc. but it was too upsetting right now. I'm kind of in a denial mode, still hoping that she'll get over this with the antibiotics and that could happen, otherwise he wouldn't be giving them. Her vet does seem to be very caring. He is a young guy who just joined the practice, but there are two other vets there with whom he can consult. When he calls tonight, I'm going to ask if he will fax me a copy of the lab report. Not that I will know what everything means, but at least I will have the specifics for future reference should I need it. I just hope she can keep the water down today, so she can come home. I miss her so much but I feel better knowing she is where she can get what help is available to her. This is going to cost a bundle, but there is nothing I would rather spend my money on than the well being of my dogs and now is when she needs it so now is when she will get it. It is so amazing how I knew immediately that she really sick, not just an ordinary upchuck. She communicated it to me so clearly and unequivocally. I saw it in her eyes. I really think she understands that why she is where she is too. My girl is a real smartee pup and, Bridget, you are right, she is one tough cookie. She will not give up.
