Joker needs some get better vibes!

    OT here:

    The Mustang broke down and then the Blazer decided to quit too. Explorer was still sitting from breaking down in March. I was working extra hours to get it fixed so the only thing I was doing when I was home was letting the dogs out to potty, quick romp in the yard, and back inside. There was one day it was nice out and I didnt work that we did stay outside all day. But I always watch them like a hawk especially when all the dogs are out at the same time.

    We had to put a new rear end on the Explorer, a front end alignment, new barons, shocks, and tires. And some of you all know I was planning on leaving. Well I talked to JJ and he wants to really really try so we're gonna try. He took out a loan from his 401k to get Christmas and start the new year off with every bill and taxes on the house/land/cars paid up.

     

    Now back to the problem.

    I started to notice something was wrong 5 days ago.

    I feel bad. I should have known something was wrong with them. I kept coming home to find Lillie had peed in the house and Joker had peed in his crate. I was thinking UTI and was gonna take them to the vet to get checked. Both were drinking like crazy too.

    I went took them to the vet Friday. It was too late for Lillie. Kidneys were shot. They sent off Joker's bloodwork,urine, and poop. Was supposed to know yesterday but the results werent in yet and the vet closed at 1. So here I am waiting for tomorrow to hurry up so I can call and see what's going on with Joker. 

    Like I said he's eating like a pig. Drinking a lot. He is still peeing. Pee is still coming out! I read up on antifreeze and well it wasnt pretty info. As long as he's peeing Im hoping that is a good sign.

    I dont know what's wrong with me. I havent cried yet about Lillie. Fynn is still here but I still plan on sending him back to his breeder's after she gets back from Cali because I dont feel like showing and that was the agreement when I got him. He seems sad because him and Lillie were close. I dont know what Im gonna do without a IS in my life. And I really really loved Lillie. 

    Thanks guys for the support and getting through my rambling. It's been a really rough month. And I hope the news tomorrow is good on Joker. Or at least something I can work with.

    Very sorry about LillieSad

     Is Joker hospitalized? Antifreeze poisoning is nasty, nasty.  The last dogs we had at work with antifreeze poisoning did recover after several days of IV fluids. Their kidneys were affected, but it was caught pretty early (hadn't been showing symptoms yet) I hope Joker recovers, and quickly
