I haven't wanted to alarm anyone here and have been in hopes that whatever it was that caused my Lilly to start throwing up and not eating would have passed by now, but it is not to be. She has been at the vet every day since last Monday (2/5) for xrays, fluids, antibiotics, blood work, etc. I won't go into all the details of what he has done, but it has been a lot. She is one sick puppy and hasn't eaten without being force fed in 10 days now. And she has lost a significant amount of weight, as you can imagine, since she hasn't been eating. He has consulted with experts in the field of gastointestinal medicine and every one he has spoken with is as baffled as he is at this point. Her bloodwork has been in normal range, except for a high white count early last week.

Today she will have exploratory surgery to see if there is any obvious reason for her problems. Hopefully, if there is something obvious, it is something that can be "fixed".

Lilly is 7 1/2 years old, a lovely Golden Retriever girl. Please keep her in your prayers.
