I believe the antibiotics were precautionary. The diagnosis actually listed 3 possible causes - virus, toxic ingestion and something else. They did not pinpoint the exact cause.

I am just grateful that veterinary care has escalated over the last 20 years, there are procedures and meds available today that were not 20 years ago. A non dog lover does not understand that these are our babies that depend on us to care for their every needs. Your heart must have just about burst when Max and Sasha greeted each other, isn't it a beautiful sight to see how much two pups can love each other. keeping Max in my prayers for a full recovery.

He still has a way to go. He is definitely not his happy crazy self. Very subdued and quiet. But that should be expected. He is eating the chicken/rice mixture. We are giving him small amounts 4-6 hours apart and he has not thrown it up so we are optimistic. They had all the fluids going in to him through an IV and he is peeing like a race horse!

Thank you all again!

I think the highlight of the night for me was when they brought Max out. We had taken Sasha with us and Toni was holding her. They handed Max to me and he gave me a very quick lick and then leaned over and the 2 of them started licking each other's face like there was no tomorrow! I wish I had a camera!

Thank you all again for your thoughts and prayers. They meant the world to me!

awe brought tears to my eyes!

Poor lil Max, at least he is home where there is no stress and he is eating and able to hold it down, that is a good sign. Keeping lil boy in my thoughts and prayers for a full recovery.

My boy looks to be getting better every day. I would say he is back to about 70% of his normal self. They sleep with us every night and we take them downstairs in the morning for them to do their business and after they are done we go upstairs to get ready for work. I always laughed because when we come back down 30 minutes later Max is always jumping up and down like he has not seen us in 2 weeks. For the last couple of days he has been standing at the gate wagging his tail but the usual energy was not there. Today the springs were back in place and he was jumping like he was on a pogo stick again! He will go to our regular vet tomorrow for follow up blood work and we are hoping for the best.

Hope it's good News

You must have been thrilled to see all that hoping, what a fantastic sign. Hope tomorrows vet visit gives him a clean bill of health. Sure would be nice to know what the heck happened to him.

Ah, so glad to hear there is some spring coming back to the pogo stick jumper! Just can't stand it when our little ones are under the weather.

[maxdog]

I have never been so happy to see him bring me his ball so we could play.

Praying for continuing improvement....
