Please say some prayers for Fiona

[YadaYadaYada]

Some of you may have seen pictures I've shared of our Shetland Sheepdog, Fiona. She is in a bad place health-wise at the moment and I'm holding it together IRL but inside I'm a mess.

It started this weekend, she was having trouble getting up, she is ten so we thought that maybe her joints were bothering her. Sunday it became obvious there was a serious problem, she tried to stand up and fell to the ground. Monday I brought her in and they find she is dehydrated and do a full blood panel and x-rays. Her kidney values are very high and on X-ray there is an area of concern above her kidneys, they don't know what it is (possibly inflammation) but she has a severe UTI so they send me home with a strong antibiotic and appetite stimulant after giving her some fluids.

Yesterday she is not eating or drinking, I spoon fed her some really good canned food in gravy (a dog's delight IMO) and was giving her water through a syringe regularly all day. She was still lethargic today, not eating and I had to carry her outside to pee. Brought her in today and they are keeping her until Sunday on IV fluids and doing an ultrasound for that questionable area they imaged.

She is in bad shape, there is no life in her eyes and she is obviously in a lot of pain. So if you could keep Fiona in your thoughts we would both be super thankful. I will update as we get news.

Oh Stephanie I'm so sorry to read this

I will be thinking of Fiona and her owners tonight The pain is the worst part - you know your darling doesn't understand it, and you can't explain it, and you'd do nearly anything to make it all go away. Big ::HUGS:: from someone else who's been there.

I hope they're able to identify the problem quickly and she's back to bright-eyed and busy-tailed very soon!! And in the meantime - you're doing your best, take care of yourself.

Thank you all for keeping us in your thoughts.

A quick update, I called to check on her and they said she is scheduled for her ultrasound this afternoon. So hopefully we will have some results tonight. Not going to lie I keep thinking cancer but maybe that's just me preparing for the worst.

Will update once we hear back.
