Spoke with Dr. B this afternoon and she was concerned about Lupe not eating and a rise in her white blood cell count. So back to the vet we went. She has lost about a pound in the last couple of weeks. Dr. B re-ran the blood work and her white blood cell count was still high, kidney and liver levels were not extremely high but above normal. Dr. B also ran a pancreatitis screen and that came back abnormal. So Miss L is currently at the vet getting IV fluids, antibiotics and pain meds. I have to pick her up around 7 this evening, she’ll have the catheter in still as she has to go back tomorrow for another round.
So for now, Thursday’s schedule is off. Not sure when we will do it, we have to get her through this current crisis. Just want my girl home and resting…hope its not a sleepless night, but if it is, she’s worth it…
Taken last night…
sending our best wishes that your little sweetheart starts feeling better and gets her appetite back. fingers and paws crossed in ET!!!!!

Poor girl. I hope she’s feeling better very soon! Sending positive thoughts your way!
Poor Lupe–pancreatitis is a drag! It doesn’t seem to be terribly uncommon, though, so tell Lupe she’s in good company. Some awesome dogs here have had to fight that battle. In the meantime, I hope she gets over this bump quickly. Keep us posted, please!
