Morning Raskal and I are a-ok. Dog has been home since friday night. No extreme vomiting coming from Raskal. Sent her home with some antibiotics, probiotcs, and some milk seed liquid. Milk seed and the fact she is holding down healthy food, should have her liver do a complete turn around. The conclusion has come to she got into some type of poison. In order to know exactly which one would have cost hundreds of dollars for a tox screen. They have to test for each toxin seperatly which gets very pricey. Her appetite is definatly picking up, her nose is constantly wet now, her eyes are bright and not foggy. She is doing really good. She's nursing the leg the IV was put in, and I think she is having some muscle spasms or cramping due to the dehydration. She tends to yelp in the morning when it comes to her shoulder that the IV was in and her neck area(where the main IV was in at the vet)....not sure what that is about. She's not jumping off the bed in the morning either. She has officially scared our new kitten to the point of C-A-T (seeaytee) not coming around her anymore. A dog can only take so much of a kitten constantly chasing the dogs tail, and launching off of a chair onto the dogs back (as C-A-T(kitten) does with all of the animals) so Raskal had to growl and snap at her, only this snap was an actual bite to the kitten). Other than that, she is doing well. Peeing, and # 2'ing, and eating full can's of cat food(Wellness chicken, which is nearly identical to the science diet AD for cat's and dogs script food). All and all, 3 nights at the vet, she is home and doing well. Very odd how a vet resembles an ER/hospital visit. Where they actually let you come visit your pets for hours on end. Again, thanks for thinkin of us! Liz, Mike & Raskal Thank you kindly for your concerns and well wishes...We go back in a week n'a half to get another blood panel done to check her liver functions
