[Dailydrool] Maggie the Island Basset Gurl

[anitra palato]

Hi fellow droolers,

I am posting on behalf of Leah who's Maggie went back to the vet's again
this afternoon...she was still dry heaving and pretty much falling over
doing that, plus not eating or drinking.  Leah is very worried about her
girl Maggie.  If you all can send some drool and prayers their way.

 The vet thinks it is one of two things:
1. viral or bacterial hepatitis
2. she has cancer and a tumor broke open.

The vet thought about an ultrasound but on the Island she lives on with the
vet that has an ultrasound wants the money upfront. Which is not reasonable
right now.  Leah was trying to get the money going....and called the vet
back but the vet said the ultrasound was not necessary and they will do a
liver enzyme test 1st to see if it as something that Maggie ate.  They will
continue to give Maggie fluids and antibiotics via an IV.

The vet told Leah that they believe Maggie is 12 years old not the 8 years
old she was told when she rescued Maggie.   Leah has some very nice friends
in her area who helped her through the day, and even getting Maggie from the
car back into her appt.  Leah is extremely worried and was not up to posting
to the drool, but she can use all the drool and prayers she can right now
for her Maggie.

Here is her email she said the Droolers who have emailed are making her day
a little more bearable...
