ANOTHER DAY AT THE VET 13 AUGUST 2010

At 8:30 PM, BJ writes: I have just talked with Peggy twice. Saylor was doing much better two hours ago. He'd even eaten; she is over there and his temp is 98 and they are putting him back in the oxygen tent. He's lifeless, she said. Please, please pray for our boy. Peggy is exhausted. I wanted to go up there tonight, but she said no it was too late for me to drive since I have eight to load in the Kia. So, I will be going to Louisville tomarrow morning. I will pack my stuff and tomarrow load up crates, food & the babies. At least this way, we can give each other moral support, too. I told Peggy if she needed me, no matter what time, to call me. I'll just load up even if it's three in the morning. Saylor, please listen to your Momma BJ: Get better, baby, please! At 9 PM, BJ writes: On the phone with Peggy now; his temp is back up. He is being given warm fluids; x-ray chest sems to be clearing up; platelets are down; aren't sure why; they are looking for an underlying problem; no internal bleeding from x-ray, wanted to know how long he was at the metro animal shelter; maybe he had gotten into some kind of poison; that it takes about two weeks to take affect. Platelets clumping up is a sign of poisoning. They are going to taking his temp every hour on the hour and will be keeping a constant watch on him even more so. Every time my phone rings, I am scared to answer it! BOB ANDERSON: The vigil continues, along with thoughts, prayers and tons of CairnZen, if it comes in tons . . . . BILL-TOMAS SCHUMACHER: As we prepare to welcome a little ball of energy into our foster home, we wish the very best for Saylor. If he's anything like our Tipsy, he's a stubborn little fighter! Your love, patience and sacrifice are an example of what real "puppy love" is all about. ROCHELLE ANGULO: OMG . . . my Cairn Titan ate a shoe poison packet and was treated for it successfully. My thoughts and prayers go out to little Saylor. SHELLY SIMINSKI: Hang in there, Saylor . . . you are a fighter and you have so many people who care about you! Our prayers are with you!
