re: #44 Backwoods_Sleuth

Update on Daisy:
Managed to get an appointment with the veterinarian today. All of her bloodwork came back normal, so none of the expected horrible possibilities for an elderly dog came to pass.
She hasn’t been able to hold down food or water since Thursday, so was extremely dehydrated. She had a slightly elevated temperature, but no obvious pain. No obvious lumps. Nice pink gums and clear eyes.

Vet said it appears to be gastritis (aka stomach flu).

He gave her a good size bolus of fluids, so she looks like a little camel right now. An antibiotic for whatever associated infection she may have, and some anti-nausea med to give her for the next 10 days.

Right now she is zonked out at my feet.

Looks like the little terror has a few more years left in her.

I am the happy.

I has the vicarious happies.

Vets are good.
