Maybe this should be posted in special thoughts...but please say a prayer for my Reese. He's at the ER vet's and will probably have to spend the night.


I have had him at my regular vet's and twice to the emergency vet's. Today being the last time I took him to emergency. They want to keep him there. I kept telling these vets...he's sick. Took him Wednesday...all his regular vet could find...was possibly a gastic problem along with some fever. Give him fluids and pepcid...send him home. Thursday night he can't breath....to the ER...they think he has a respiratory infection...more fluids, anti biotics, something to increase his appetite. Bring him home...and Friday he is coughing/hacking. I used a humidifer to help his congestion. Saturday I literally could not get him to eat ANYTHING and offered lots of tempting stuff....boiled chicken, canned wellness, beef. I forced fluid via a syringe. I have been so worried. I was hoping this morning he would be hungry enough to eat...but he wouldn't...so I went back to the ER vet. She thinks the respiratory problem is secondary to something else. Heck I wonder if he caught the respiratory stuff from me...taking him to the vet's offices. He's only been around my dogs and only home and work. The tests and x rays they've done...all come back fine...I kept saying...he is sick. So now they are testing for pancreatis, doing another xray with contrast in it, more fluids...and hopefully will find something and turn him around. He's lost a pound in just 4 days.

My heart hurts.
