Kinda bummed...

My best bud had to go into the Vet Hospital today for about 4 days...

Seems his Pancrease (SP?) failed...

They have him on IV and Antibiotics, and feel 80% sure that he'll be back to working order (including his Pancrease) soon.

Poor guy has been miserable... Vet wasn't available till today...

    Poor Little thing.

    What sucks ever more is that, in the last two years I had my Dog, and one of my cats die on me:(
  • JackNJackN <font color=#99FF99>Lightwave Alien</font>
    Well he's not out of the woods yet, but my wife went down to visit him for a bit today, and even though he's weak he was happy to see her, so he is reacting better than yesterday morning. His blood sugar is down from 600 to 400 today...

    We'll know better or worse tomorrow afternoon what direction he'll take.

    Hang in there buddy!

    :)

    Hang in there buddy...I hope it works out.

    I know exactly what you're going through. I lost my little girl last year to cancer... (Ophelia, my Doberman)...not a fun time

    :/

    Day 3: one step forward one step back...

    He's still puking, and won't eat, they have him on insulin again.

    Vet says don't give up though, another day will tell for sure.

    Tomorrow afternoon is an important decision.

    :(

    Stay strong buddy...
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Making an assumption about that decision, but it's one of the worst decisions someone can have to make. I've had to make it myself too many times.
  • JackNJackN <font color=#99FF99>Lightwave Alien</font>
    This mornings news was brighter...

    Not sure what the numbers mean, but in his blood work they said it went from ~1200 to ~600 concerning his pancrease (SP?), which the Vet said was what she was looking for as a good sign the day before. So, if he can manage to hold down what he eats and he keeps up the rate of improvement, he'll be home soon.

    My wife and I went by to see him this morning, I had to take off for work, but the news was good enough to wait another day on any decisions.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    That's great to hear.

    Oh, and according to my handy dandy dictionary that I keep beside my computer, it's spelt "pancreas". You almost had it, just one to many e's.
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Good news, lets hope for even better.
  • JackNJackN <font color=#99FF99>Lightwave Alien</font>
    Another good day...

    Looks like he's coming around...

    :)
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Woo!
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Hurrah!

    Glad to hear the news :)
  • JackNJackN <font color=#99FF99>Lightwave Alien</font>
    Heh... The little guy is getting a lot more perky now...

    Blood Sugar is coming down, although some of it is because of the insulin boosts.

    It would be great if he came out of this without being diabetic at all, but I'll take what we have now without complaint! ;)

    He's gonna stay there over the weekend instead of coming home tomorrow, it's better for him we think, although I'd love to have him home, and you can tell he wants to come home.
    :)

    Thanks everybody! Really!

    Thank god for VISA... LOL

    Good to hear he's getting better. I've been there with one of my cats. Quite some time ago one of my cats became diabetic. He was almost 15 lbs but them lost like 10 lbs and was all scrawny and the vet gave him 6 months max to live. I had to give him an insulin shot every evening and gradually he put that weight back on and was himself again. Thing is he would always run up to me around that time looking for the shot. Finally he passed away 3 years ago. Thing is that was 5 years after the vet gave him 6 months. Hell he was 16 years old too and I had had him since I was 1.

    Cool, Id love to have a cat. But my father is allergic to them, and then he couldnt come and visit :(
    Right now, I at least have my gfs cats to annoy ;)

    And Jack. Great news! :)
  • JackNJackN <font color=#99FF99>Lightwave Alien</font>
    Well... $1k later... he's home!!!

    Ain't love grand!

    :D

    Still needs insulin, but it may go away in a few weeks... :)
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Now that he's feeling really nice, I demand pics! :D

    He looks like such a cute 'lil guy...
  • JackNJackN <font color=#99FF99>Lightwave Alien</font>
    He's lost a lot of weight, and his legs were shaved for the IV's, but he's doing great otherwise... sleeps a lot, and drinks a lot of water...

    ;)

    Awwww :)

    He has such pretty eyes!

    I really hope you and Jaco can have fun once he recovers fully :D


    On a semi-related note, I should bring one of my cats (Bobo, not the monkey) to a vet soon. He's started getting somewhat skinny in the past few weeks, and has really started to lose his energy recently. It could just be old age, but quick arrival is what worries me.
    Ah well, catnip and warm weather still livens him up. And he has gained a bit of weight from the recent introduction of more fatty foods and other goodies. At least he's not overweight, like Annibelle ;)
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Those eyes look like black holes. :D Sure is a cute, fluffy dog!
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    My american relatives had a dog like that, twas the nicest dog Ive ever met. :)

    Name the source and win the rubber cigar.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Don't know about the source, but I know one monkey who's most definitely in the zoo. :D
  • JackNJackN <font color=#99FF99>Lightwave Alien</font>
    Groucho Marx?

    Rubber Cigar kinda gives me a clue...

    :D

    Speaking of grouchy...

    Jaco is doing much better. He now growls at us when the insulin shot is imminent....

    :D
