My Piper stopped eating and drinking

[Verbena]

I am so glad she is doing much better !

So happy to hear Piper is still improving and her blood sugar is holding. Did they check her liver enzymes at the last appointment on Friday? I wonder if they are getting back to normal.

Yes they check her liver enzymes on Friday. I got the report yesterday. Her ALT is now normal, ALP is at 242, down from 420, her billiruben is normal. Her blood glucose is still staying around 85. But that was after 3 hours of not eating. She will go in Friday to our vet for another blood glucose test. She is an amazing fighter. So keep the prayers coming and fingers crossed.

So good to know things are getting back to normal, and I hope the blood sugar will also stabilize. I hope this means that she is no longer in liver failure, and maybe she doesn't even have MVD. Whatever, I am hoping and praying for the very best for Piper.

Bobbie texted me on Friday .. Piper's glucose was 87 and that was after a period of 6 hours. I have not spoken with her...I think she must be busy and probably has not been online. I have not seen her today on FB either.

All is sounding promising for Piper. Hoping for the very best possible outcome. Praying.

It sounds like Piper is doing great and what an answer to prayer! I'm so thrilled for Piper and her mommie and daddy and everybody else who cares for her.

It is so good to hear Piper is doing well. What a wonderful turn around from a couple weeks ago.... truly a miracle.

Piper went in Friday for her blood sugar. It was at 87. She is holding. She is back to her spunky little self. Have to go Friday for Liver test. But, she is eating and doing well.

Great news! Keep it up !

It is a bitter sweet day for our house. As we worked so hard to save our Piper Girl. Our 12 year old Shih Tzu Sam was not acting right this morning. She was up walking around, eating and stuff. But, she justed acted tired. Piper being her usual self just kept wanting to play with Sam. So I decided to put Sam in her kennel so she could relax. Sam died in my arms as I was carrying her to her Kennel. Our Sam has survived Lupas, broken pelvis from getting out of our new fence when she was younger and hit by a car. She lived a long happy life.
So as we are excited our Piper Girl is doing so well. We are deeply saddened to have lost our Sam.
