Call from the Vet

Tuesday, April 8, 2008

Hello everyone. The saga continues with Carli today. She is now about 24 hour out from the start of the meds and IV fluids to rid her body of the toxic drug. The doctor is cautiously optimistic, but that is good. Today Carli appears able to manage her front legs better. She still struggles with her back legs and that makes her go pee in her cage.

As the vet said, "she is a very special loving dog"...Carli does NOT LIKE to have made a mess...so, she tries to clean it up herself. They are watching to keep her from doing that part. Good that she is eating like a trouper and peeing with no diarrhea right now. That is all FANTASTIC news!

We watch and wait with God's hand holding her gently. Only He can make her better, so we pray and wait on his grace. Thanks to each of you for your prayers and love...it makes this tolerable. I am just thankful that she is doing better so far. The research that I have read said it could day a few days to resolve - up to weeks. So, I ask for continued prayers.

Love to each of you for being such a wonderful group of family and friends. Hugs...
