Just wanted to reach out to everyone and get a prayer chain going.
My sweet angel is headed for Liver Shunt Surgery. She is admitted to a specialty hospital and has been in the ICU since Sunday.

After many trips to the ER vet and another days stay at our regular vet, she continued to get worse. On Sunday I met with Critical Care Specialist Ravi Seshadri, DVM, DABVP, DACVECC and he immediately had her admitted.

We are in the process of getting her stable for surgery. She continues to have profuse diarrhea and refuses to eat. This needs to be stable for surgery. She is on a strong coarse of antibiotics along with a small dose of steriods to calm her GI tract down. When I spoke with Dr. Seshadri this morning he was hoping not to use steriods but we need to calm her GI system down so we can move forward with surgery.

When we get to surgery he will also do a biopsy of the liver and her intestines so we are able to get the right kind of medication for her.

Needless to say I have been devastated through all this but I have hope. Now I really need prayers, so my sweet angel can get over this hump so she can head to surgery. This month has been so rough being in and out of the vet so often I just want my sweet baby home where she belongs.

When I went to visit her today she looks good. She is alert and she was excited to see me. Please, Please, keep us in your thoughts and prayers, so she can feel better!
