"Dogspital"....

Bad news...

Sophie spent her first night with complete strangers Monday night. Not only were they strangers, but she was in hospital, or as we have coined it at our house now, the "dogspital".

Poor Sophie. She was sick on Sunday and we spent most of the day just lying around the house and tending to her needs. I thought she was getting better so we went into my mom's for dinner like normal. She got a bath like normal, and even ate and drank. That was the first time all day. She had a good night in her kennel--no messes. When I got home Monday at lunch, there was a mess in her kennel though. She had thrown up again! Poor baby! Well I called the vet because that is just not like my dog. They wanted to see her. So I took off of work to take her.

This is where the bad news is....they wanted to keep her. She was running a pretty high fever, not eating or drinking, and not keeping stuff down. They did all kinds of stuff to her while I was there, and nothing. They needed to keep her to watch her and to get fluids in her.

So, I left her...........her very first night in the "dogspital". I cried.

Good news!!! She got to come home yesterday! I went and picked her up, took her by mom's (to give her a bath, she had a nozzle put in their bath tub that does a WONDERFUL job, and takes about half the time) and we spent the afternoon together. She appeared to be all back to normal last night, and was even eating and drinking!

We are thankful for our Vet!!! :)
