So this is Sessy, Lila's Mom. Lila is doing well. When my bf brought her home, she ran to me and was a ton of energy. I cooked her chicken and potatoes and she ate it all up! (The Vet told me she hadn't eaten a thing all weekend). So I'm glad that after all of this she's doing well.

So to back track, here's what happened. Last sat. Lila and I hung out at the park all day long, and then we went to several dog stores. At one of them i brought her this organic grass since she loves to eat grass. On sunday, Lila was doing well. On Monday morning she started having diarrhea which got worse over the week. I didn't take her to the vet initially because she was a ball of energy and eating/drinking well. On friday night she had blood in her stools and was very cranky so I immedatialy took her to the vet. The vet tells me the stool studies were negative but because Lila had a fever (T=104.7) she would have to stay. They don't call me sat. or sunday to give me an update and of course they're closed so no one answers the phone when I call. My bf calls today at 9am and they tell him Lila had a rough weekend, not eating and continuing to have diarrhea. The vet tells him she thinks its either a virus or maybe cholecystitis! Lila was on IV fluids and flagyl with some improvement. He tells the vet he wants to pick her up to get a 2nd opinion and that's when the vet tells hims if he leaves not to return. Then they get into a discussion of how she's seen boyfriends come and go and she doesn't care if he is my bf that the dog belongs to me and she didn't want to deal with him! So I call the vet and she basically tells me that lila had a rough weekend and that dog is doing much better and to have him come get her at 4pm today. She doesn't mention anything about gall bladder disease (partially because she knows I'm a doctor so I would know better). So for some basic blood work and a stay at the vet's I paid $675. The vet even went so far to say that there was another test she wanted to get but didnt because it was too expensive at $45! Could you believe that! I don't care about the money because I love my dog and would do anythign for her, but I think the vet was bulls**tting around because all of lila's labs were normal.
