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.
