    Thank you, everyone. It means so much to me. I'm just so depleted and sad right now. I feel like an emotional raisin.
     
    Marlowe on the outside seems to be doing fine. He's not in pain, so no matter what happens at least I have that comfort. I had to pick him up from the emergency clinic this morning and take him to our usual vet to be "babysat" for the day until the e-clinic opens again tonight and stays open for the whole weekend.  The vet will keep him on heavy I.V. fluids and pepcid for the day.
     
    He will most likely be at the e-clinic through tomorrow night or Sunday, depending on his progress. I don't really know that much right now, but I do know that this is very, very serious and even if he does pull through, chances are that he'll have impaired kidney function for the rest of his life.
     
    I did get to spend some quality time with him this morning though, in between when the e-clinic closed and our vet opened. We just hung out at home for a half an hour, snuggled on the bed, and Marlowe made it quite clear to me that he's hungry, which always makes him cranky. He got to greet n sniff with Conrad and then we all just took a load off for a bit and listened to the radio. Really, his outward appearance is of a totally normal, happy, if hungry, dog. It was nice to just hang out with him.
     
    I'll keep everyone posted on his progress. Thank you all so much, again. I keep thinking that surely I shouldn't have any tears left in me to cry, but they just keep coming.

    I am so sorry you are having such a rough time!  Have you thought about PM'ing Callie and asking her for advice on the kidney support supplements?  I am sure she could give you some suggestions that may help.  I know Thuja helps with detox on vaccinations so may be helpful for this but am not personally that skilled in the use. 
     
    We still have you int our thoughts and prayers.  We've had some miracle recoveries on here lately and I am sure Marlowe will be included in that group!

    Oh good golly......candle is lit, prayers sent and HUGS to you and DH.

    Much love and strength coming Marlowe's way and yours!  Hang in there, you handsome hound, and show us all how tough and strong a hound can be.
     
    Houndlove, there's more then a few of us who have can too well understand your grief and feelings of self recrimination.  I, luckily, found Pofi with a bottle of pills in his mouth once that I had left within reach and I know he got a very small amount of Iggy's bp medication once when I left the "pill minder" dispenser box on the counter.  I was just incredibly lucky that the Norvasc was already segmented into a very small 11 pound cat dosage.  And Mia scarfed down fish emulsion when she was out of sight around the corner of a house in a fenced in yard!  We try SO hard, but we can't be perfect.
     
    Know we are here for you and pulling out all the stops, as usual, in thoughts, vibes and energy for your boy!

    Poor doggie!  I am sorry, this couldn't have happened to a nicer person! (and dog!)
     
    Please don't feel too guilty!  Just yesterday I was sitting in class and remembered I'd left a bottle of vitamins on the counter.  I sped home, heart in my throat, sure Marty would be sick.  Nope.  I just got lucky. 
     
    We all make mistakes!  And I'm sure Marlowe will pull through, and Marty and I will keep our fingers and paws crossed for him.

    Oh no, how awful!  Please don't beat yourself, we have all made mistakes in our lives.  I will be sending positive thoughts to Marlowe, as is everyone else.  Please keep us updated too!

    Oh no...[sm=sad.gif]

    I am so sorry.  Get better Marlowe!  We're thinking of you

    Oh poor Marlowe!!!  Sammy send his good thoughts to his buddy..... Marlowe seemed a bit too mellow to go after things, but their darn noses get the better of them!!
     
    Don't beat yourself up.... you are a GREAT dog mom, and Marlowe and Conrad show for that.  You do so much for your dogs and take care of them terrifically.   Sammy had a good time playing the one day until the testosterone in the park got too great..... and you were great with him as well. 
     
    But I know how worrisome our dogs can make us....... I was a basket case when Sammy got into cooked split breast and gobbled up tons of bones.  I can only imagine how I'd be if something bad had come of it..........  so think positive thoughts!!
     
    I will be thinking of Marlowe....  having met him, makes it all the more real.....  we will be pulling for him.....

    Ohno, Marlowe! Cressida, he, you, and your family will be in my prayers!! When Bree was a puppy she and Ginger demolished a box of Pepto Bismol tablets between the two of them. They spent a few days in doggy ICU with IV's. They came through with little problems, other than the new nickname, "The Troublemakers". I hope Marlowe does the same - comes through just fine. Hope you can rest some too!
