She said he is a shoot from the hip kind of guy...I like that. I don't like to be coddled...just tell me the truth so I can deal with it.

He absolutely a great vet Linda. He tells it straight, doesn't make you feel like an idiot, explains everything in layman's terms. Doesn't mess around.

He's my mentor's vet and the vet of most exhibitors/breeders in the DFW Metroplex.

Thanks for the update Linda!

He sounds wonderful! I am so glad she found him! From the stories she has told me and the things he has ordered, etc., if anyone ever asked me for a vet in that area, I would definitely recommend him.

Sorry I did not post yesterday. When I got home from work around 1pm Lola always greets me at the door. She was not there and a horrible smell of bleach, I looked and she was on her side on her couch not even lifting her head and watery brown diarrhea, I grabbed her an ran to Dr Hawthorn, he ran some blood work and said her sugar was low due to the exsessive diarrhea. We gave her nutracal and she seemed to perk up a little. She is much better alert as I speak, still not eating much or drinking and had 3 or 4 times up with her last night with this diarrhea. Thanks so much for your support. We just have to get thru this hump with the Sporanox. Prayers are wonderful.

Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers....

YorkieMom6 · 01-23-2010, 08:12 AM

My heart goes out to you both. Will continue to hold Lola and you in my thoughts and prayers.

Mysweetbabies · 01-23-2010, 08:23 AM

My heart goes out to you and Lola.

You are in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

diarrhea is much more dehydrating than vomitting

can they show you how to do sub q's just in case and have that as a back up plan?

So far in all of this Lola has never dehydrated. I am sure that if she were doing so the vet would have perhaps discussed this option.

ally173 · 01-23-2010, 10:45 AM

i hope she's better now; did the vet give some meds to stop the diaherra. poor baby

Linda,

I'm sure he would, as he taught me and others how to SubQ and also provided us with everything to take home with us.

The diarrhea is the disease. I wont go away for about 6 months. We just have to keep her fed and hydrated and sugar levels up. I am starting to see just what this drug will do. Thanks for all you support. Oh by the was just wanted everyone to know what a good kind hearted doctor I have, he did not charge me yesterday and I put all my trust in his treatment plan.
