Unhappy My Maggie's Sick

Our sweet Maggie that we just got on Saturday is having to stay at the vet. She checked out fine Monday although she wasn't eating that well, but we chalked it up to moving to a new home. The vet suggested adding some baby food chicken to her food so I did and she ate that afternoon. Then she started spitting up her water and stuff the next day. She wouldn't eat and every time she drank, she would spit up. So, Wednesday a.m. I took her back to the vet. Although she had a fecal on Monday and nothing showed up, by Wednesday, coccidia (sp.?), a parasite, was showing. They said she most likely had it for a while and it really tears up the g.i. tract and stuff and it was a good thing I brought her on in. She was starting to ge a little dehydrated so they were going to give her fluids under the skin and get some glucose in her before she became hypoglocymic. But, they thought she would be ok. So, this a.m. when I checked on her, they said she seemed to be worse. They checked her for parvo, which was negative, thank God!, but they were going to try to get an I.V. in her tiny leg. She is 2.6lb - she had lost 2oz since Monday when she was 2.8. Anyway, now they are saying she can really go either way. My little girl and I are going to go see her shortly. This is just horrible. Please send prayers and good thoughts her way. We feel in love with her immediately.
