Thank you so much for your wonderful offerings of prayer and for your concern for a fellow animal lover. Millie's problem surfaced about 3AM so Debbie took Mill in to the vet as soon as they opened at 7. The vet had Deb leave Millie for treatment as Mill was dehydrated from vomiting, extremely lethargic and just very sick. Debbie called me an hour or so ago and had this to say: The vet had called her to come get her dog!!!! WhatThey'd done bloodwork and sure enough, Millie's liver and pancreas enzymes were elevated showing damage and inflammation in those organs. They'd given her IV fluids which pooled on Millie's side where they'd administered them. Oh, they also gave her a shot for the vomiting but evidently no antibiotics and did not send any home with Debbie for later, either. Our Rat had pancreatitits twice and she was treated quite differently (not the same vet). She was hospitalized both times and it was touch and go for several days. It's my conclusion that this doctor has basically sent Millie home for her last visit. I hope, hope, hope that I am mistaken. I guess only time will tell.
Sandra - Your invitation for Deb to visit on-line at PT was so very sweet. Unfortunately, Debbie is computer-less. I have shown her POTD on my computer when she has come to my house for a visit. She was thrilled to see so many people from all over the world who cared about animals so very much. My husband and I promised Deb quite awhile ago that we would bury Millie here in our yard as Deb lives in an apartment. That way she could come visit Millie as she needed to and if that happens, I will sit her down with the computer and show her how to access you guys.
