Guest GreyDad Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Hi all - We went to visit the boy - he's in a nice big walk-in kennel that gives him plenty of room to stretch out. He's got tubes everywhere, but as soon as he heard us, he lifted his head an ears... we sat with him in the kennel for a while, giving lots of ear and neck scratches (he loves those). We told him to be strong and to keep fighting, and to come home soon... We'll continue posting information as we get it... Peter said to send a thank-you from him and his people for all the love and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PetersDad Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) Hello everyone... FYI, My ID was changed by the site admins to "PetersDad", as "GreyDad" is an old admin account on this site, and the forum admins didn't want anyone to get confused. The vet called again and said that Peter was given a very low dose of something that should increase his appetite, as he's still not eating, and he was given a small amount of liquid food to give him some fuel to continue the fight. She said there is no new info yet, but she will call us in the morning after she checks on him. Another long night to look forward to... Here are some pics of our boy on snapfish: Peter on Snapfish Edited September 8, 2007 by PetersDad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Did your vet do a lepto titer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PetersDad Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Hi tbhounds - Yes, she did do a lepto titer, as well as TBD, and the results are supposed to be in early to mid-next week. In the meantime, he is on doxy (among other things), which I think is the main antibiotic used to combat lepto, if I'm not mistaken (based on what others have said on here). Thank you for the suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest paulamariez Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 What a pretty boy Peter is! My first greyhound was a brindle and I have my second brindle, so I'm partial to brindles! I'll keep your poor baby in my prayers. Glad to hear he's doing a tad better! Doggie kisses sent from my three boys to Peter too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trudy Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Good luck with Peter. It sounds like he is making small improvements. And it is great that your vet is contacting you to keep giving you updates. Sounds like they have a hand on things and are doing what needs to be done.

Guest PetersDad Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Update from the vet - Peter's glucose level is high now (was 40 on Friday, up to 82 yesterday when he came off the dextrose drip, and now is up to 135). The vet said that she feels that his body is working to stabilize that, so she expects some fluctuation, but will keep an eye on it. He stood up for a bit this morning, and has been drinking water. She also said that his urine has returned to a normal color (not dark orange anymore), which she said was a small step in the right direction. He vomited a little bit this morning, so he's back on an antiemetic to help his tummy feel better. We're going to visit him in just a bit, so we'll update when we get back... Thank you for the continued thoughts, prayers and candles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest needlenosemom Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Can you leave an article of your clothing with Peter in his cage so he can be domforted by your human smell??

Guest PetersDad Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Hi All - We just got back from visiting Peter... He has one of my shirts for a pillow (worn, of course, so he gets the full effect), and one of his freshly cleaned stuffed animals. He's a tired boy - I think he overexerted himself just before we got there! The Vet tech. said that he lifted his head up for her, and that he actually got up and ate a little food! That's the first time he's shown any interest in food since Thursday, so fingers crossed! To me, his eyes look much less yellow (still tinted a bit), but his skin is still pretty yellow, as are his gums... it doesn't look AS yellow, but maybe that's my wishful (hopeful) thinking. His temp is normal, his heartrate is good (which is pretty much all the tech could do while we were there)... but I think he's a little mad at us for leaving him there. The vet is coming in to do her nighttime rounds at around 6:00, and will call us just to touch base, so if nothing is new, I probably won't post again until we hear about his CBC tomorrow morning. Please keep your paws and fingers crossed for our beautiful boy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
