Hello everyone,
I woke up yesterday, and since I let Precious sleep in a crate still, 1st thing I do is take her out to do her business. This is at 5:30am. I went to Precious' "room" and opened the crate. Usually she is so beside herself (cause Ive trained her to stay until I say come out) that she starts to tinkle a bit, but she barely could hold her head up! I reached in and cupped my hands around her like I always do, and her little body was completely limp! I screamed for my wife to come there, and Precious barely wiggled her tail and was completely lethargic. I had my wife hold her while I got dressed and we sped up to the Animal Clinic Emergency Room. On the way, "P" had a major accident in the SUV, and poor thing thought I was mad at her cause she whimpered when I was trying to just clean her up. The ER Nurse took us in fast due to the significant need for treatment, and took blood, a stool sample, gave "P" some vitamin shots (K and three others...I dont recall), IV fluids and a shot of Doxicyclin (strong aantibiotic). "P"s test came back that she had excessively high amount of sugar in her blood, excessively low amounts of protein and white blood cells, and a odd result on her red blood cells (they are being crushed in two) (????) as they flow through her body.
They think she may have gotten hold of a rat (we just moved to the country and she plays outside ALOT) that had some rat poisen inside it. I still dont know anything else, but Ill post when I do.
Please pray for her
Thanks
Jim "Shorkie Daddy"
