The Verdict for Jack is In --- Post #84

[ChrisH]

How awful, poor Jack.

Cruelty and neglect abounds everywhere and, like Liz, I feel people who do such things to those without defence, be they animal or human, should receive the severest punishment. *Gets off soapbox*

Big prayers on the way for your dear boy.

Jack will be going in tomorrow to a different vet's office to have the ultrasound done. The person who does them does not read them so they will be sent away so I will probably not know until Wed. or Thurs what is wrong. Dr. James showed me the x-rays so I got to see the buck shot in Jack. It definitely is weird seeing these little bits of metal in your dog's legs and around his lungs. She also showed me the areas she is concerned with - the kidney has an enlarged area that she said is probably the stone but the other kidney looks to be enlarged too pushing the colon over to one side. Whatever is going on, I hope there is a quick, easy fix. Yeah, right, this is one of MY dogs.

I have to drop him off between 7:30 and 8:30 but they won't do the test til later - I don't know when I have to pick him up.

So keep on praying for my boy!

Lots of thoughts and prayers for Jack today.

Thinking of you and Jack today!

Jack had his ultrasound about 2:00 today. The vet called me and said they couldn't get Jack to lay on his side - would I mind if they gave him some medicine that would relax him more. Jack is pretty easy going as long as you don't try to force him into a position. I hadn't thought about their needing to lay him down to do an ultrasound. I of course, said yes and he was ready to be picked up shortly after 3. He is still pretty tired - all he has done is sleep - not even food will tempt him and he hasn't eaten anything in 27 hours. They send the ultrasound out to be read so I should hear back either tomorrow afternoon or Thursday morning. It's hard now knowing what this might be and what it might mean to his future health.

So more waiting and praying!

THANKS, God!!

The vet called me and said they couldn't get Jack to lay on his side -

I hadn't thought about their needing to lay him down to do an ultrasound.

OMG!

I never gave that a thought, either, when they trotted off with ole Bowser
to do his kidney / bladder rock ultrasound!
Talk about STUBBORN ... Dunno HOW they did it!
Lil Tiny Gal that brought him back to the exam room said he did GREAT.

Hard to believe they let him 'stand' - there wouldn't have been room
for the Transducer to fit under his tummy ... SHORT legs, ya'know!
And he was never one to Lay Down on command ...
And they sure didn't use any knock-out drops - he *Danced* back 15 minutes after he left.

How DID they do it??
Bowz *amazes me* every time I think of him!

Glad Jack got through his Ultrasound with nothing worse than a case of the Sleepies.

Prayers on the way for a Good Reading!
