Keep Scout in your prayers....

I did Google it. I'm going to continue to pray that he doesn't have that but that if he does, it's been caught early and he'll be one of the lucky ones.

 If it is lepto I just want to add that my sister's lab had it badly (was hospitalized for 4-5 days) at age 3 and is now 14 and still playing with her 'kids'

(also going to move this to the Spiritual Circle)

Well, his bloodwork came back fine. We go in tomorrow morning for xrays to rule out cancer. I am so beside myself. Please keep him in prayer.

 (((((((((hugs))))))))))

You'll all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Gosh Emily, I'm not sure if the news is good or bad and I know you feel the same way. The most important thing is to find out what you're dealing with and I know that's what makes the waiting so darn difficult. I'll be waiting anxiously to hear what you find out and praying that whatever it is can be treated easily.

We're sending big "no cancer" vibes.  Hang in there, Emily.

We are praying for Scout.

 I'm sending get better and it's nothing serious vibes from here!

Thanks so much everyone.  I dropped him off this morning at the vets. He looked terrified to be there. I wish I could have stayed with him the whole day. He gets so anxious. I also dropped off a stool sample. I am hoping the stool sample provides the answer to all his weight loss.

 Here's a recent picture of him:

Oh Emily, I am so sorry you are all going through such a scary time.  The not knowing is agony.  Scout, please be ok, please.  {{{Hugs}}}  Praying.

Thinking of you and Scout!!

Good vibes going out for Scout.

Good healthy vibes for Scout!

Thanks so much guys. Well we got the call from the vet. No signs of cancer that they could see. They noted that the walls of his intestines appear to be thickened. But he said xray is not a good way to evaluate that. His recommendation to us is to take him home and feed him more food and see if we can't get some of that weight back on him. If after 2 weeks we see no improvement then we go back in for an ultrasound to see if his intestines are thickened. And if that's the case then we do biopsy to check for intestinal cancer or IBD or whatever else that might be causing it. But i feel hopeful. He's home now and I just fed him his breakfast(that we were supposed to withhold this morning), threw in some extra bacon fat leftover from breakfast, am ordering some supplements to help him absorb more of his food. So we need weight gaining vibes and prayers!!!!! Come on scout get chunky!
