My family needs your thoughts and prayers... one of our cocker spaniel puppies Nikko is ill and I'm afraid we could be losing him. We are doing a test this afternoon that will hopefully confirm something that is at least manageable. He is one of our sweet boys that does not deserve what is going on with him. Worst of all, today is his birthday.. he turned 4.
I ask those dog lovers among us to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We are taking it especially hard.
I may be online from time to time, but invisible. Just trying to keep my mind off of it for the time being. I apologize if I don't respond.

I'm told the biopsy will take 2-3 days.I wish we had known that from the start. They saw intestines that were really inflamed with ulcerative bleeding. We know he has low albumin and has a lot of fluid build up. The thinking is that he has intestinal lymphangiectasia, which can be managed with steroids. I am hesistant to start him on steroids but 2-3 days is a long time to wait.
