Oh No! Sick again.

[Lynda Kamrath]

Poor Hondo.  He wasn't eating this morning (not at all like him) although he would eat some French toast and bacon that we were having for breakfast.  When I checked his poop, it was striated with yellow.  Eyes and ears also beginning to jaundice so I rushed him in to the vet.  I didn't want to leave him at the hospital for the weekend, so we took blood, started him on liver meds and antibiotics, and he got two liters of i.v. fluids subcutaneously.  He seems fine, but is on a very strict bland diet and we will get the blood results tomorrow morning.  Poor guy, this is the third time he has had liver failure.  Wish him the best.

OH no--no yellow doodles! Liver failure? I'm so sorry. Wishing Hondo the best with a fast and healthy recovery. What is causing liver failure?

[Lynda Kamrath]

Wish we knew! However, this is the third time in four years.

There are veterinarians, hepatologists, who specialize in liver disease. Maybe a consult, even if from your vet to one of these people , would help.

I'm so sorry to hear about Hondo. Sending good thoughts and prayers that he'll respond quickly to the meds and be better soon.

Update on Hondo. He stayed home for the weekend but would not eat and did not want to take medications. He went back to the hospital so he could get IVs for nutrition and medications. He has not eaten since Monday and his bilirubin has increased to 20. It was 7 last week. He was having an untrasound today and possible surgery tonight. We have our fingers and paws crossed that he will be better soon.

Lynda, we have fingers, toes and paws crossed here, hoping for that all will be well with Hondo. Hugs to you both.

[Donna K & Quincy]

[BG and Gavin]

Our very best wishes and positive vibes to Hondo and you.

Lynda, thanks for the update on Hondo! He has been in our thoughts since your last post and we continue to keep him in our prayers.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Oh my goodness, you must be so concerned. I'm hoping and praying that the surgery is successful, and Hondo is on the road to recovery!
