[Dailydrool] Requesting some drool

[Kathie Goblirsch via Dailydrool]

Gabby is spending the night on an IV (for hydration) at the emergency 
vet clinic. She started acting odd a little over a week ago -- not 
eating when her food was put out, but maybe hours later. This progressed 
to just plain not eating at all.  She saw our vet on Wednesday -- they 
took x-rays and blood for testing and a general look over.  Dr. H. said 
he was diagnosing colitis and the x-rays thankfully showed nothing out 
of the ordinary.  Got pills and a case of ID food and would hear about 
the test results on Friday.
Gave her the ID when we got home and she promptly ate.  Then I 
discovered hours later that she had vomited it all up.  She also quit 
drinking.  I resorted to prying her mouth open and using a spray bottle 
several time a day to get _some_ water into her. I was able to shove her 
meds down her throat in a timely manner. (She is Addisonian and has been 
since she was 1 year old. So getting her prednisone daily is a MUST.)
Dr. H. called me this morning (he's out of town for the weekend) and he 
said that the blood work was about as normal as you might wish. "But, 
somehow we're missing something."  He suggested that I consider taking 
her in to the emergency clinic later (as he didn't like the idea that 
she would have to wait until Monday to see him.) He also called his 
clinic and had them copy all the info from her visit on Wed. and the 
x-rays for me to take with me to the emergency crew.
