I am so scarred for my baby...... I posted late last night that my baby was sick. I first want to really thank everyone and especially MyFairLacy for thier wonderful advice and best wishes.

This morning he was not getting better, he still was drinking water but now just as soon as he drank some he would throw up. I called the vets office and they said bring him in right away. I bundled my baby up and off we go. We get there and there were so many other people there but the wonderful nurse went immediately to me and said he is waiting for you. They did a whole work up of blood, gave him a shot to stop the vomiting and x-rayed his abdomen. I kind of felt bad for the other people there waiting but at this point, my baby could not walk so I was also so grateful.

Now this is the part that I am sure I will get mixed up because there was so much information and blood names to remember so if I get this mixed up please understand. I believe it was his white count that is 19,000 and something (cannot remember what the tech term name was) but for his kidneys was 39. He said there is something his body is trying to fight and that his blood was very dehydrated. I burst into tears. They took the ex-ray but did not see anything but the vet said that if it were plastic it would not show up so that gives them a direction if they cannot get his blood levels back to normal.

So now, my baby is spending the night with an IV and antibiotics pumped into him. He has never been away from me, I cannot seem to stop crying, and the vet could see it and that precious man gave me his cell phone number to call anytime to check on him. I want to research and see what all could be wrong with him but I know deep down I really do not want to know because I do not think I could handle it.

Sorry so long but wanted to let you guys know what’s going on and please pray for him.
