I am so sad to hear this. The idea of our babies suffering is heartbreaking. Hoping for an improvement.

I am very sorry to hear this, it's going to feel like a year waiting until Wed. I am praying for a miracle for Piper

Maybe they can get her blood sugar to regulate by then. That's two days from now. We'll be praying and pulling for Piper to get through this and stabilize. You must be so scared right now but she's in good hands and they are doing all they can to help her so try to stay strong. We're praying for you, too.

Prayers going out for you and Piper. Healing light and thoughts surround you both.

This makes me so very sad. Precious puppy. I am saying extra prayers for her.

Here is a picture Bobbie just posted on FB....breaks my heart.

Are you sure that she didn't get into something possibly marijuana? If there's even a small possibility of this having happened you need to be honest with the vets. Dogs liver function is effected by the THC in the pot. Edibles have an even high THC as we know. Could she have eaten something that contained pot? If so please be honest with the vets that are treating her. No judgment on my part at all... Just throwing it out there trying to help :(
Treating Marijuana Toxicity

Oh no, I hope she turns around.

The picture is making me cry. I hate innocent beings suffering so. God bless her little heart.

That picture of little Piper did me in!!! I took one look and began to cry like an idiot. I wish I could help her - fix her. It's so awful to see these brave little guys sick and suffering. My golly - I was unprepared to see her and it just turned my heart into a knot. She's so precious. I'm going to get Tibbe and hold him like there's no tomorrow. Piper, get well, baby! We sure love you.

I was thinking the same thing! Bella is lying on my back right now, and I'm a little misty-eyed. Get well, Piper!

Sending more prayers for Piper's recovery.... poor precious baby.

Can't get Piper out of my thoughts. Still praying for you, Piper.

Bobbie is pretty overwhelmed right now. I spoke with the vet this evening and so did she. The reality of all of this is very depressing. Piper has a limited time to turn around before her little body begins to fail. She is on IVs and also tube feedings and her glucose is not coming up to where it should be. It is stable but at 90 and this is not good enough. Because of this her body is in a weakened state.

She ate today for her mom and she is barking now which makes her look better than her numbers are indicating.

She could have MVD but doubtful and even if she does that is not what this is. It is probably an infection or toxin that has just totally slammed her liver. The test for lepto is still pending. She cannot have a liver biopsy at this point because of her overall body condition. The only thing they would gain from doing that is knowing exactly how much scarring there is in the liver. But really that is not totally necessary to know because the bottom line here is that if her glucose cannot stablize she cannot survive outside of the hospital and that is not a way to live. The glucose being low is indicative of liver dysfunction. Anything else that would be found with a biopsy is being treated...she is on antibiotics and liver protectants.

So, they are not recommending anything right now but what they are doing and praying that her glucose will begin to rise and stablize. They have a time table for that and Bobbie is coming to terms with that.

Please keep Bobbie and her husband, Tony, in your thoughts and prayers. They really need support right now...they so love this baby girl and have sacrificed greatly to see that she has the very best in terms of veterinary care. Some of you have been very supportive and kind to them and they are so very appreciative.

Praying for Piper and Bobbie and Tony.

Linda, this is so unbelievable and heartbreaking - to go from where she was to this state in so little time - so sudden and such a shock to the two people who love her so dearly. All we here can do from here is pray hard for a turn for the better as her body beats this disease process. Little Piper looks so brave and courageous in her picture when she must have been feeling so ill and weak. May God heal and return her to good health. Tell Bobbie and Tony we are with them and Piper in spirit.

My goodness, I am praying hard for them all. Please let the vets find the answer to treat her and heal her...may her parents find the strength to endure...and most of all Piper...keep her safe.

I'm just now reading this. Although I don't know Piper or the owner, my heart is breaking for them both. Piper's picture brought me to tears. I'm praying very hard for this baby right now and for the owners. May God give this little dog a chance to live it's life with good health for many years. My thoughts are with you.

There is no chance she could have gotten into marijauna.

Thank you for all your prayers
 

I want to thank everyone for all your prayers for our baby girl. Even tho she is only five months old. She has stolen our hearts. Our Piccolo is missing his friend. Looking at her you would not think she was such a sick little girl. She was a happy baby when she saw her mommy yesterday. Techs told me she was barking at them. That was her first time to bark since she got sick. She ate for me, we played a little then she just wanted to cuddle with mommy and sleep.

I are still praying for a miracle this morning. If we could just get that blood sugar to go up and stay up. She is a fighter. But, in the end, Tony and I will do what is best for our baby girl.

I will keep ya'll updated as soon as I hear from the Dr. this morning.

Thank you all for all your support. The people in this forum have shown more support for a total stranger and her baby, than alot of my friends.

God Bless all of Ya'll

I have been following your thread praying to read good results. I am torn apart for this precious lil baby and for you too. Piper has been in my prayers and will continue to be. I have been in your shoes and know the pain you are in. Still praying for good results, stay strong. (((hugs)))

You fight Baby Girl Piper...we're all praying for you. Your mom, dad and brother need you to come home!

Prayers for your Piper this morning and well wishes from my Piccolo to your Piccolo and family.

I will ask Dr. When he calls this morning

I'm wondering if she got into xylitol. Would there be a possibility of that? You mentioned her eating human food... Do you know if it was a sugar free product with xylitol?

Piper Update
 

Our girl is fighting. her blood sugar is up to 134. They are going to take her off the dextrose to see if it will hold. This is a good sign. Still have to talk to vet for other information. But she is more alert and energetic and is eating. Still have to talk to the Dr. for other results. Will keep ya'll updated as soon as I hear something.

God is Good

Wonderful news! Piper, keep fighting! Bobbie, I continue to pray for you and your little girl.

Thank you.
