As you probably know, I had to take my beautiful girl Maggie to the vet's this morning. We weren't sure what was wrong with her except that she wasn't her usual, amazing self. She wasn't interested in the tennis ball or chasing the cats. She wasn't bringing her goose or possum to bed with her. She was being picky and not really eating her food. She would eat cottage cheese, but not her dog food.
When we came in this morning from playing a very minimal amount of ball, she had some seizure-like activity, falling over on her side with no control. it was fairly quick, but felt like an eternity. Following that, she went into the bedroom and threw up. I immediately called the vet.
After blood and urine tests, the vet called to tell me that Maggie is undergoing kidney failure. WHAT?!?! Kidney failure. I have been so careful with what I feed her, how I play with her, where I take her, the kind of treats I buy for her. I am so careful about the toys, the leashes, the collars. I put all of my heart into my beautiful girl.
Maggie is now at the vet hospital with an iv, antibiotics, and a catheter. She has her goose and possum and I hope that helps. I don't know how long she will be there or when I can bring her home.
So, please send your love, prayers, and if you have to your BEGGING to St. Francis. I don't care if you are Catholic or not. Say it. I am not going to be a pretty person if I don't have my girl with me for a long time to come.
