Mobley, the miniature poodle, is in the animal hospital. This is his second time in a few weeks. The first time, we thought he ate a toy and it was lodged in his intestine, we thought he passed it.
This time, lethargy, diarrhea, hunched over, lots of pain. Thought it was pancreatitis. They started IV antibiotics, fluids, pain meds on Saturday and kept him. Said he was doing better this morning. His white blood cell count was around 52,000 (just found out this morning, from Sat workup). They think he has a raging bacterial colitis. They just drew more blood and we'll find out later today if the antibiotic is working. They are going to give him a little food and see how he does. I hope we can bring him home today.
Chris cleaned out Abby's old crate so he has a spot where the big dogs leave him alone. Not sure if he'll use it. Mainly we got it out in case he has to have special food. Then he's protected from the big dogs who want special food.
