PRAYER WORKS
If there is a God, he must have heard me. My Shar Pei, has hung on over the weekend. They diagnosed him, with "failing kidneys." My Vet called me yesterday afternoon, after getting the test results. The Vet asked me how Maverick was doing? I said," a lot better." Also that, he was suprised that he was doing better. According to his test results, he shouldn't be here. He told me that, "I could pat myself on the back." He said that, "you instinctually knew what to do." "You kept him alive by, pumping fluids in him with the turkey baster." He said, "you did it girl, it was nothing I did." I suppose that it's both, the Mother and Medical Assistant in me. Keep in mind that, I don't get paid for my craft, but I still know how to use it. Although, I guess that, anyone could have done what I did for him without a Medical education.
I have been very busy this weekend with, feeding and watering him myself. He has been drinking some water on his own. Otherwise, I've been doing it for him. I have made him eat cooked hamburger, and rice baby cereal in the turkey baster. He has also seemed to enjoy, the grape flavored baby water. Anyway, the Vet said that he would order some Phosphorus Binders, and would have them for me today. With both the medicine and vitamins, he should get well. I truly hope so, I'm not ready to let my beloved freind go. He's like one of my kids. Again, he's even older then, our youngest human son. I'll tell you that, I was more worried about our middle son, it's his dog. I was so sure that, I was going to have to put him to sleep friday. I even had my neighbor build him a wooden casket friday morning.
I was relieved at, his friday evening Vet appointment. I could just see the Vet, giving us the bad news in front of our son. We had no choice but, to take him along. His Father was late, picking him up for his weekend visit. Although, it appears that, we will have him around for a little while longer. Well I should go, I have my own Dr.'s appointment to deal with today. Catch ya'll dogs later!
