I had to bring Cookie to the emergency vet clinic tonight-I am still not clear what is going on with her but it has been very scarey-tonight she had diarrhea and then start dry heaving and trembling-when she started the trembling I could not get to the phone fast enough to call -we were there for some time because they wanted to keep her overnight for testing and an iv but I did not want to leave her so they starting running testing while I waited -when they took a fecal sample she passed red diarrhea and my heart just sunk- they ran various testing-there is some sort of infection and beyond that I did not understand a thing they said-they gave her numerous injections and sent me home with more medicines and they put a fluid pack under her skin to keep her hydrated-she is sleeping now but I don't think I will be able to get much sleep-want to keep an eye on her-they will send all info to Cookie's vet and I will be following up tomorrow.

Bailey and Nick and I will definitely keep her in our prayers!

AWWWW......POOR COOKIE. IT IS SOO DEPRESSING WHEN THEY FALL SICK.

SENDING COOKIE PLENTY OF LOVE, HUGS AND PRAYERS.

UPDATE US WHEN YOU FIND OUT MORE ON HER TESTING RESULTS.

GET BETTER COOKIE.

Cookie saw her vet today and got another shot-he said it was her colon and they are not sure what caused it to be inflammed and bleed but that she would be Ok-she can only have soup broth for now and then prescription i/d food -she has to be monitored for 48 hours but he said she did not need more fluids-the fluids and meds they gave her last night helped which meant I did not have to leave her at her vets-which I had anticipated might be necessary from what they told me last night-all sorts of meds(3) I have to fight to get her to swallow at home-she is a magician at getting out of swallowing pills-when they took her temp the thermometer had blood all over it so that again was scarey but her vet reassured me the meds and restricted diet for now will resolve it. She got to play hookey from day care with me all day while Molly is at day care.

Glad to see the Cookie is doing better!

0h I know how relieved you are to hear she will be ok. That is good news and I hope Cookie makes a speedy recovery.

I'm so glad she is doing better. It is so scary when they are sick as they can't tell what hurts. I'll be praying for a speedy recovery.
