Hi, well for an update, today she seemed slightly better. A day and half ago when I originally posted this message was after I took her outside and she was so weak and so slow moving, plus it really scared me when I put her down on the grass and she was barley standing and her legs were shaking (in trying to support her weight on her feet) and she just slowly collapsed into the sitting position then she laid herself down and just sat. Today she was walking around a little. My mother was persistent on going back to the vet (the same one) and they gave her fluids (under her skin with intravenous) and they said she will absorb that. She also ate more today (no throwing up ether). She had yogurt and carrot (my mom fed her supper too and told me the dog ate most of it- can’t remember what she fed her though)

By night it was hard for her to walk again, but she was probably tired from her body using energy warming the fluid under her skin, and plus at the vets office she wouldn’t sit- she was just walking in small circles near me for 15 min till the vet called us and since she doesn’t walk that much lately that tired her out I’m sure. Didn’t zap her yet- doing a little more research on that first, but will keep you posted.

PS- here is a copy of the blood work results that they obtained on Friday.

The chart on the right hand side is alittle dificult to read (its readable though) but here is a better image of just that chart:

I know she didnt move her bowels for me latley, I will ask my mother if she did at all- shes sleeping right now though so I will call her later. Will reply with an update later. Thanks again.
