Ok, maybe this might seem a little silly to some, but I need some prayer and good thoughts for my dog.
My Pembroke Welsh Corgi has been sick, as some of you know. She was VERY sick for about a week, and the vet said it was a virus, and that she'd take some time to recover from it. She got better after about 2 weeks of being ill, so I thought we were in the clear last week when she started eating again, and her system started functioning normally. However, now she is very ill once again, and is not able to keep food down. She is drinking normal amounts of water, so I don't think it's Parvo, which usually acts a lot quicker than this and they don't drink OR eat. The fact that she's been ill off and on for a few weeks now makes me think it's NOT Parvo, which would have finished her off by now, from all I've read about it.
I can't say what it is at this point, but we have another vet appointment tomorrow afternoon to find out. This appointment could go one of two ways: she gets treatment for what is a simple infection or virus, or she requires surgery, which I can't afford, and they won't allow me to make payments on - all has to be paid up front. The outcome of a diagnosis requiring surgery is not going to be good. I've agonized over this all day, and the not knowing is killing me. She's been so good about all of this, never once whining or complaining, just being stoic and quiet about it (as her breed does), but it's obvious she's not feeling well.
So, please keep a prayer and good thought in the air for us tomorrow afternoon. I will post the outcome once I get home from the appointment. I am having to borrow money in order to take her in yet again, as I've already taken her in once, and having made a 700-mile round trip this past weekend to pick my kids up from their dad, my funds are very low. I can only hope and pray there is a simple solution to whatever she has - and I hope the vet won't say "virus" again and send us home, as he did last time. This is obviously something more serious than a simple virus.
Thanks for listening to me rant about this - it's very upsetting. :cry:

cannr - I'll pm you the details - it's a site where dogs can have their own webpage within the site, and they can have "pals" (other dogs), chat with owners of dogs of the same breed, etc. It's really cool. I didn't know anything about it until I got Tootie - she had a page that her former owners had made for her, and I just picked up where they left off. The response from the community there has been great - they've been so kind and caring, just as everyone here has been.
Hang in ther Sue! You and the boys are in my prayers!!..KAren
