Our Little Banana
Daisy has been pretty sick now for over a week. We noticed last Saturday that she wasn't acting quite right. On Wednesday she ended up in the "doggy hospital" to receive fluids because she was so dehydrated. Poor pooch.
Since then, her medications have increased to everything and her symptoms have increased to everything and her diagnosis has been nothing! And don't forget the bill. I would rather forget it actually.
Her numbers for her blood tests are "off the charts" and "quite alarming" which make the doctors "very nervous". Her bilirubin number (which causes jaundice) has climbed up to 15.5 and normally should be 0.1-0.5 This is why she is our little banana. I promise you have never seen yellower skin, eyes, gums, etc on a dog. It's quite alarming.
The good news is she is still here with us. Diesel, however, needs someone to wrestle with NOW!

Rosie sends her Bully Bud a big get well gas and sprinkler face kiss of get well wishes. When a bully is sad, everyone is sad. Keep us posted!
