Hi pals,
I've had a rough go of it for the past 24 hours. Late last night, mom was giving me loving and she noticed that the benign cyst on my cheek had ruptured. She took me to the ER vet to get it cleaned and get antibiotics. Unfortunately, once there it was determined that I had a fever and my blood test results came back with abnormal calcium and kidney levels.
As a 14 year old dog, those results were a bit scary. Luckily, my urine analysis showed that my urine was concentrated, not diluted, so I am not in kidney failure. The ER vet ended up removing the growth from my face and giving me fluids. I got to come home late last night (around 3 am) on antibiotics and fluids. Mom had a hard time getting me out of the car and into the house as I am 60 lbs and I couldn't walk.
I had a hard time recovering from the anesthesia but am starting to perk up this afternoon and evening. Mommy even took me a short little walk and that made me feel much better.
There was some talk of the bridge last night but mom and the vet both agreed that I am not even close to being ready to make my journey to the bridge. I have a lot of life and love left in me. We are taking it one day at a time and I expect a lot of extra treats on each one of those days!
love,
Sophie
