My little Maggie Bear!!

[Aggie_Ama]

Jes- Our friend concurred with our vet which made us feel more confident. He said the same thing as you, unless he knows there is nothing he can do he always gives the option. He himself had to recommend an owner put their schnauzer/lhasa to sleep yesterday and he said it really stunk for him.

See our vet's office has grown and the founder is the one we have always seen but Maggie got assigned to a newer guy Friday so it was a little stressful with her being so sick. With my husband's buddy saying the same opinion as the vet it made us more confident in the new vet. Didn't hurt to warm us up the new vet is a proud product of the Aggie Vet School, the founder of the practice is not an Aggie.

Maggie's levels (BUN, CREA and PHOS for those who know about these things) are still elevated the BUN is 3x the normal value but we are giving her two more days to try to bring them down. The vet said he put her at about 35-40% chance given her levels. He said we weren't at "a shot in the dark" she would improve but we need to keep realistic expectations. She did pig out while we were there so that is an improvement. We will just see what happens when they pull the blood values tomorrow, if they are still not dropping it likely means she cannot be sustained off the IV and we will have to discuss putting her to sleep which stinks because on the IV she is our normal little bear but I know she was very sick without it. Thanks for all the warm vibes and support, I just wish our kiddos didn't have to go through so much!
