Hi friends:
Sadie is sick; had not been able to keep food down since Wednesday. Took her to vet just now and he is keeping her to run a barium test to look for blockage and going to do a blood panel to check for pancreatis(sp?). Her temp. was normal and the first x ray was not conclusive; did show small intestine very thickened, whatever that means? She was behaving very normal except would throw up everynight about 6 to 8 hours after she ate her one meal a day at about 6 pm. She would get sick about 2am. She would also eat grass I guess to help her throw up. I wish she were home with me and now regret I took her. She is about 11 pounds of spoiled tri colored darling little chihuahua/rat terrier mix.
The last time I left a pet with the vet(about 10 yrs ago) I ended up picking her up in a box; she was 12 yrs old and getting her teeth cleaned and never woke up from the anesthesia. So sad! I guess I'm doing the right thing but it's so had to leave her there.
I would appreciate some prayers and good thoughts for Sadie in Spring, TX and pray for Dr. French, her doctor to have wisdom in determining her medical condition and best way to treat her.
I wish I had her a blanket ; she's probably just laying in a cold metal cage. I'm so sad thinking of her there. Oh God, please help me get through this.
Thank you all for your care and prayers and good positive thoughts.
