Thank you everyone for your prayers and kind words. They were really needed.
Anyway, the blood results came back for Gizmo's acid bile test. The pre-screening enzymes were low-I think the number was 2- however, the post screen of the enzymes was 22 and I think it needs to be under 15 for be in the normal range. Forgive my lack of knowledge, I'm a little upset while I'm typing this. After hearing the news, I asked the emergency vet to fax over the results to my normal vet and I have an appointment at 3 to have them go over it with me and discuss our options.

I guess all I'm asking for is some advice. I know that I'm going to do whatever it take to get Gizmo feeling better, and I don't care about the cost right now I have my options that my husband and I discussed. I just Gizmo to love his life and not be in pain. The emergency vet said they'd recommend him to a specialist to get an ultrasound, go figure it was the specialist that I took my Cairn too when she had cushings.

Anyway, I guess I'm asking for anyone who's gone through this what the possible process is. Does the dog have a good quality of life? Am I doing the right thing?
