I'm really sorry I had to bail on you since the day is so nice.

I just got back from the vet. The good news is Tilda hasn't vomited since 2 AM, her heartbeat is fast but strong and regular. She doesn't have a fever. It wasn't a stroke and she's not having seizures.

The bad news is they don't know what is wrong. At first it seemed it might be a kidney problem because her left one is enlarged. But x rays show that she only has one kidney! Since the shape of it is smooth, the vet thinks it's probably not cancerous. So, they took a blood sample. I'll get the results tomorrow. They gave her some subcutaneous fluids and some medicine to help her feel less nauseous. She has a lot of gas in her intestinal tract - consistent with not having eaten for a day and a half. But they couldn't really give me an answer on why her hips seem to be bothering her. Right now the verdict seems to be a spider bite.

I'm hoping that since it is cooler than normal Thom and I will ride this afternoon. He gets home early on Fridays.

And hopefully we can reschedule today's ride.
