Purrs for Boone
If you can spare a few purrs, prayers, or tail wags today for a dog that
loves cats, we would all appreciate it. Our Lab, Boone, fell ill over the weekend and got worse yesterday. We thought at first it was a flare up of his irritable bowel syndrome and put him on the meds we have on hand for that. He got much worse over night. He basically has water instead of stool, has stopped eating, and looks miserable. Steve took him to the vet's this morning for blood work, x-rays, etc. The vet said that there was a slightly dark area towards the front part of his abdomen (in the x-rays) that the vet didn't know what it was. He also said that Boone seemed like he had right leg pain when he extended that leg and had lost muscle mass on his left side. The blood work will not be back until tomorrow. We're giving him a higher dose of antibiotics but actually had to pill him this morning. Never in 9 years, no matter how sick he has been, has he refused to eat a little peanut butter and his pills. We will know better how to proceed when the blood work comes back. Needless to say I am worried. -- Margaret Fine |
