Just checking in on the sweet girl, and so glad to hear she is doing better. Also very glad to hear you had a good visit with her, as I know how hard it is to see her sick.

Praying this is the turning point, and it's all steady progress back to health from here. Hope tonights visit is a good one.

thanks all!

i just spent like 2 and a half hours with her. she slept very soundly 3/4 of the time so i was thankful. she had a soft e-collar on because i guess she's finally realized she has an IV and she kept licking it. i'm taking it as a good sign because before i think she was too delirious to mess with it. when we got there, she was up and trying to strong-arm past us to get out of the cage. she still perks up anytime she hears a bag open, so i think she's convinced herself she's VERY ready for food.

anyway, i left at 10:30 PM and she had not vomited since early that morning. she's still on a very slow IV drip. anyway, just wanted to update. things are returning to normal slowly but surely. hopefully she'll be home within a day or two.

thank you all!

the last time layla has vomited was early feb 7 morning. it's now 9 pm on feb 8. she was fed around 12 pm today at the vet (a bland canned I/D food) and is doing very well. she finally has some carbs in her system so she was going INSANE, was hyper, licking us, wouldn't lay down, was trying to push past us, and was wagging like crazy. she was even chewing on my boyfriend's hands. we were under the impression that she could go home today so we stayed from 4 PM to 7 PM (doh!) and were told tomorrow would be the day if she holds everything down. she's still on a very slight IV drip because she's being weened on to food and they don't want to get ahead of themselves and give her full access to water yet. they gave me a syringe full of water so i let her lap some up out of my hand to wet her mouth a bit. she was resting when we left so we're hoping all goes well.

i tried to see my current charges w/ the vet and my bill is apparently 1,200$ and i've only put down 140$ (all i had) so hopefully i can remind them of the 500$ estimate tomorrow and they can cut me some slack because i'm a student. (doh, again!)


ugh, i'm so happy things are looking better. layla is my miracle money pit.
