Lilly

I'm so glad she is doing better!! I hope it was just a bladder infection. Please keep us up to date!

Lilly has gone every day for an injection to help calm down infection, stimulate her appetite, and necessary vitamins. She has not been sick since Wednesday afternoon, which is good, but she also isn't eating, which has us worried. She has had small bits of things (cheese bagel, treats and part of a plain hamburger), but can't sustain herself, long term, on things like this.

She is spending the day at the vet's office, today, and probably is receiving IV fluids with antibiotics, plus he was going to do new bloodwork to see if there is any change from earlier in the week, plus a new urinalysis, to see if that problem is improving, as well. Her new friend, Katie, who is a Lab, is undergoing exploratory surgery, right now, as she has not rebounded at all, even though she has had some "highs" like Lilly, where things looked better. Katie is very sick, and he is concerned that he will find cancer in her surgery. I pray for Katie, and pray that Lilly will not have to have this surgery. We must get her to eat.

Please keep your prayers coming.

Prayers on the way for Lilly, you and Katie too!

Poor sick babies.

I will add Katie in my prayers too. I hope tomorrow
brings better news for Lilly. Buddy was only that sick once in his life, and
after many days finally began to eat & keep it all down. Never did find the
cause really, only a guess by our vet. He did turnaround & thrive & so will
Lilly. I hope & pray. (((HUGS))) Liz, Smokey & Maggie.

Lilly has not had a great day. She doesn't want to eat and her white blood cell count is higher (44,000, up from 17,000, earlier in the week). She did eat two bites of a grilled cheese sandwich a few minutes ago, but I was hoping for more, but she turned her head away. She got IV fluids today and Katie's mom loved on her while Katie was in surgery. He could find nothing inside of Katie to indicate cancer or anything else. I got to give Katie a little loving too, this afternoon, when I went in to get Lil. Bless her sweet Labbie heart, she is hanging in there. We'll go back in the morning for some more medication and fluids. We're fighting, but good gosh, this is getting very hard for Lilly and for her mom, let alone Dr. Robinson and Patsy, who have hung in there with us through all of this. He kept apologizing to Van (Katie's mom) and me tonight, for not being able to figure out what in the world could be causing their problems. I think it would be easier to solve if one of my others was having the same symptoms. Katie is an only dog so there is nothing else to compare to.

Keep praying and sending those positive thoughts. Lilly and I appreciate them.

Love,
Logan
