I’ve been stressed out all week because my favorite dog has been sick and we don’t know why.

She is a cancer survivor and when she began to vomit for no apparent reason the doctors and we were quite concerned.

She’s been in the hospital since Monday.

Yesterday she had exploratory surgery and no cancer or blockages were found in any of her abdominal cavity. That was the greatest news I had heard in a long time!

Her sinuses were X-rayed to rule out a sinus tumor and that came back clean.

The only thing they can find wrong with her is her jaw doesn’t open as widely as it should, but they say that can be treated with prednisone.

Today they are going to re-evaluate her and possibly change her medications. They are in hopes of starting her on some bland foods since she hasn’t eaten in several days.

I want to thank Sue and Guss for being so busy with the blog since I’ve taken the time off to tend to our pup. Today I feel like someone pulled the plug out of me and I’m like a wet dish cloth. I hope to get back to blogging on Friday, but it seems we have more hits when I don’t.

That’s it for now.

Update: I just got a call from our vet. Our dog is not interested in eating today. That could be from the surgery yesterday and her prednisone has been increased to see if it will get the inflammation down faster in her jaw.

In a couple of days they may try to feed her some gruel via syringe down her throat, but if that’s the life she’s going to live it’s probably time to let her go.

We’ll give the new meds a chance to work and see what happens. As the vet said, at least we have given her every chance possible and should have no regrets. She has eight vets in that practice all stumped.
