[Dailydrool] Super-drool needed for my new senior rescue boy Stanley

[Susan Randolph]

I'm mostly a lurker these days, but I could sure use some DD super-drool (I 
remain convinced that little can withstand the healing force of the DD 
community). My new rescue boy Stanley (whom I adopted from House of Puddles 
earlier this month) is in acute renal failure. It's unclear what brought it 
on, though Leptospirosis is one of the suspects. He is at the Critical Care 
Unit at my nearby ER vet and will have to remain for the next several days, 
undergoing fluid therapy, aggressive antibiotics and other unpleasantries. 
Although I've only had him for 5 weeks or so, he has wormed his way deep 
into my heart and I am NOT ready to say good-bye. So if you have some drool 
to spare, please send it his way.

To top it all off, my job is ending in a few weeks -- so the $3,700 I just 
dropped at the E-Hospital (which could go to $5,000 by Friday) is 
particularly unwelcome right now. But that's what credit cards are for, 
right? I just want my sweet Stanley back HOME!

I'm planning to take him the soft fleece shirt that I wear all the time at 
home and his favorite stuffie so he'll be surrounded by reminders of home 
and me. If anyone has any other suggestions for acute kidney failure (or 
tips on how to get him to eat again when they can get him stablized), please 
let me know.

Drool on,

Susan (slave to Toby and Daisy and sweet Stanley)

P.S. Toby and Daisy are saving some extra-special drool for King Bob, their 
hero! They KNOW he will do great in physical therapy (but he deserves to be 
carried by his royal attendants).
