Anna, I am so sorry to hear that Emerson still isn't feeling well.
I hope they find out what is wrong and make him feel better soon.
Sending hugs and "Get well soon Emerson" wishes your way.
I know you have been very worried about your sweet Labby boy.

Anna I am so sorry that Emmers is not feeling well. I know how awful it is to leave them at the vet's but that is the best place for them really until they can find out what is wrong. I hope there will be a quick diagnosis and an even quicker cure. I hope you can feel these ((((hugs)))) Anna. Emerson now you hurry and Get Well!

Is he really in the best place and the best hands?? I'm really not so sure. This is so frustrating.

I left Emm off at the vets at approximately 12:30 this afternoon. I fully expected to hear something by 3:00, but waited until 4:30. I called, and was pretty much blown off, saying they hadn't looked at him yet and would call us "soon".

It is now 6:45. No call yet, so I call again. I get their answering service saying that they closed at 5:00. I FLIPPED out. I was thinking How could they leave and not let me know what is going on with my dog??????

The answering service lady put a call through, and they were still at the office so I got to talk to them. Phew! But they still haven't looked at Emerson. They said that Emerson was "litterally the next dog we were going to see, but another emergency came in".

Ugggh. Its so hard to be patient. All I can think about is my poor terrified boy just waiting all day for his turn, and he just has to wait and wait.

So no update yet. They still are expecting that I will pick him up tonight. Please send me some patient pills over here. I am going nutzo!

I know it's hard to wait when you're worried about your baby.

Sometimes it does get very crazy at a vets office, not only having regular appointments and surgeries, but walk in emergencies. While I know your Emerson is your first priority sometimes they have to take a kind of 'triage' stance with emergencies. If someone brought in a dog that was hit by a car and bleeding profusly, or a dog in respiratory distress, I'm sure they'd have to take care of those first seeing as it's life or death immediately situations. Seeing as they are obviously working after hours I'm sure they will call you as soon as they know something, you'll just need to be patient a little longer.

Oh no Anna! I can't believe this . I'd be very upset too! He's been there all day! Poor baby boy . I certainly hope they get on the phone with you very soon. You must be beside yourself. I will be praying for dear sweet Emmers. I'm so sorry he is ill {{hugs}}

[Vela]

I don't blame you, I'd be upset too not hearing anything! Yes offices get crazy but that's your baby and it would be nice if they could at least let you know they hadn't seen him yet but were doing it as soon as possible, rather than leaving you to sit all day worrying and having to call yourself to find out. I hope you hear soon!

its 8:30 and we finally got an update. Emerson isn't coming home tonight and my heart is aching. They are doing an iv to give him fluids and nutrients. The bloodwork came back showing elevated liver enzymes meaning that his liver was affected by the antibiotics. They hope to determine tomorrow if the damage done was permanent and how much damage was done, and also find out the prognosis.

I'm really not wanting to think much about this because she put a big IF on whether we will want to continue treatment. I have so many unanswered questions. Hopefully we will find out some answers tomorrow.

[Vela]

Prayers for you and your baby. I hope its good news tomorrow!

Anna, I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and Emerson. You will be in my prayers.

[chocolatepuppy]

Emerson will be in my prayers.

[K9soul]

I feel sick at heart for what you and beautiful Emmers are going through. Please know he will be in my prayers.
