Update on Allie in the hospital

[Leigh & Allie]

Wow! What an aweful few days. I do see a light at the end of the tunnel though. Yesterday after waiting and waiting for the x ray results, they came back the same as they were yesterday morning. I knew then they would need to keep her. I did go and see her yesterday evening. She was not quite herself, but she did give me kisses and put her head on my shoulder. I cried and cried. She was just so pitiful. They were going to do tests on the pancreatitis and some more blood work. They said they would call me when they got the results back. I went home and cried some more. It was just aweful. They called and said Allie results came back negative for the pancreatitis and her electrolytes and other blood work was normal, so now they are thinking either a really bad stomach problem or an obstruction. They were going to do a sonogram in the morning to see if they could determine anything else.

This morning I woke up early and called them to see how she had done last night. I was not able to talk with the doctor but they said they would have her call as soon as she could. Apparently, Labor Day is not the best day to have a dog in the hospital. With no regular vets open, everyone is bringing their dog into the hospital. It is now 2:20 and I still have not heard from the vet, BUT I did go and see Allie again today. She looks so much better. She livened up when she saw me and proceeded to climb up in my lap and give me many kisses and lay down so I could rub on her. I told her she needed to get better so we could go for a RIDE. Boy, you should have seen her little face light up. I thought "there's my girl". I am irritated with the hospital though. They said they were so backed up they had not had a chance to do the sonogram. They said I could have it done at my regular vet's office tomorrow. The plan right now is to have another x ray (apparently they have time to do that) at about 4 and I am to call them for the results around 5. I am saying prayers that it shows a vast improvement in her intestines. Her intestine's are a little swollen in one place. I have a friend who is a pediatrician and he said if she has diarrhea he doubts it is an obstruction. So now I wait and wait. Thank you EVERYONE for the kind words of encouragement and the prayers. They are especially appreciated!!!! Allie sends wet Doodle kisses!

Hang on, Allie will be better soon and home with you. I know how hard it is to wait and wait for results but I have had Cas' vet call me at 9 pm. He was just catching up from the day. Hugs to you both.
