| Harley has severe pancreatitis and needs prayers... Lolasmom1211 has an extremely ill pup right now. Harley was admitted to an emergency vet clinic over the weekend but he was not doing well there. This morning, first thing, Valerie picked him up and took him to Gulf Coast Vet Specialists. Tests have been run and he has an extremely severe case of pancreatitis and possibly hepatitis. He was severely dehydrated on admission and his glucose has been dropping into the 60s. During the last visit she had with him this afternoon, he was standing up but he clearly is ill. He has IVs and also a nasogastric tube. The specialist who is treating him said that he has gone from a 10 to up to an 8....while that is a bit encouraging, he is definitely not out of the woods. Please remember Harley and his mom Valerie in your thoughts and prayers. Valerie loves her little babies so much and is an awesome pet parent. She is so upset right now with the way this happened so suddenly. It really is frightening how quickly these little ones can become so ill. One thing I can say is that he is in the best hands possible. He is being treated by a board certified critical internist who I have the utmost respect for. She has cared for a few of my pups.

| Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. Harley is very, very ill and we have the Dr's telling us he is still in a very guarded condition. From having a happy, healthy playful pup on Friday - then having him act just a little bit sick and vomit two or three times (clear liquid) on Saturday - then admitting him to a local Emergency Clinic on Sunday AM for fluids and having them tell me I could pick him up this morning to this....all I can stress to each one of you is DO NOT WAIT. Pancreatitis is a terrible, incredibly destructive, fast-onset illness that needs immediate and aggressive attention. I really like to believe I am proactive in my babies care, but I'm feeling so guilty now about not taking Harley Saturday instead of Sunday. The "what if's" are playing havoc with my brain and I can't stress enough to anyone how important immediate care can be. Harley will continue to need your prayers for the next few days and you all have no idea how much we appreciate them...thank you all. |

you are a very vigilant owner and you did what was best. Please don't blame yourself for Harley's illness. We sometimes have no control over these kinds of things. Just tonight I was at the ER vet w/ one of mine after he vomited 9x and I wanted to get some fluids/meds...and he does not have pancreatitis. I had no intention of going to the vet at two or three vomit episodes. Pancreatitis is very scary, and it can be very severe, but we are not really in control of that, all we can do is respond and protect to the extent we can. I'll keep Harley and you in my prayers.

| Valorie, I am so sorry to hear about Harley. You are a wonderful mom to your babies. And you have him in good hands. Look what they did for my Piper Girl. Piper Girl, Piccolo, Tony and myself have you and Harley in our prayers.

| After a night without much sleep, I will be able to visit Harley at 9:00 AM. I watched the clock all night long, thankful for every hour that went by without the phone ringing with bad news. I am so grateful that Harley made it through the night, and so hopeful that this morning brings some sort of good news. My daughter, who is a human ER dr, has been next to me every step of the way, explaining all that they are doing and sweet Linda (LadyJane) has been my "go to" Yorkie consult for the last 24 hours offering moral and positive support. Hopefully his blood sugars have stabilized and they did not have to put in a central line. They will not even try to reintroduce food for a few days because Harley is so critical at this point. I am still amazed at how quickly this all happened. I will try to update after our morning visit - please continue to pray for Harley. I am so very grateful for your continued prayers. |
