This is Amy. Mom had typed up a long report, but then the page couldn't be found, so we'll try this again.
WE got down here a little after 8 and got Snoopy checked in. They admitted him to the ICU tonight, where he will be monitored overnight. THey will also begin some testing...rechecking his phenobarb and potassium levels, and running a bio-enzyme test on the liver to check function. They will also start IV fluids, and do a tap to look at the fluid in his abdomen.
Tommorow the day crew will take over, when the specialist return. He will be transferred to internal medicine, where they will do an ultrasound and other neccesary tests. It may be late to mid-morning before we hear anything, but they also told us to feel free to call if we get anxious waiting.
We are camped out at a hotel nearby the hospital. Mom warned the vet and techs of Snoopy's escape tactics and insistance of chewing through IV lines, leashes, collars, and anything else they may be using to keep him there. I'm sure he will keep them on their toes tonight!
Please keep the prayers coming. Snoopy sure can use them.
