| Thanks for letting me know what that high count can indicate...I'll add it to my list. These little can sure worry us half silly...but I too, am all about prevention..if possible. My thoughts are with Summer, hope she starts feeling much better soon.

You really cannot always go by labs....it often has to be a combination of things. That's why it is so important not to get too upset about labs and it is often why many vets and doctors will not allow their staff to release labs to clients (they prefer to speak with the clients themselves)...it takes objective and subjective information to come up with a diagnosis. Better to leave diagnosiing to the pros.

| I pray that Summer just has an upset tummy and no other issues. Poor baby girl has already been through so much. I always take a proactive approach to vet care. If something seems off, we go to our vet.

| Crisis avoidance as opposed to crisis management! Always works out best for all involved! |

| She is home for the evening....they left the cath in so she can go right back on fluids tomorrow morning. Poor thing still has a very tense belly....they did an xray to make sure that all they are probably dealing with is pancreatitis. I had an interesting conversation with my vet's partner (my vet was off today). He told me that whenever there are thunderstorms they often see GI issues. Well, we have had them all week as Yorkiemom1 knows...and poor Summer really stresses out over thunder. Maybe, just maybe, it might be a cause for pancreatitis.....you know we all focus on what the pups eat...but it is a fact that the cause for pancreatitis often is not really known. I know that in the future when I have one with pancreatitis, I will be thinking about this. Stress does cause a lot of medical issues. Anyway...she has had two doses of Bupranex today so hopefully she will have a restful night. Thank you everyone for your well wishes. Summer is a very special little girly!

| Thank you...I am so sad for her this evening. She is walking with her tail tucked under and her back hunched. She is clearly uncomfortable in spite of having pain meds on board.

| Just now seeing this. I hate that sweet Summer is sick. But so glad you got her in and getting what she needs. And also glad to see the continual reminders to everyone. So glad Summer has you Linda. She will always have a special place here on YT for us who know her story. Keep us updated and I will send special prayers up for Miss Summer.

| Hope that baby girl gets to feeling better soon. With your friend's dogs sicky with stomach issues, I hope there is not something going around. |
