Zest!

[DebraDownSouth]

I am so glad she is feeling better. Being home will certainly cheer her up, and you too. I'd have freaked out… just hard to not be scared when it's your pet.

The first link you gave said about 10 to 15 percent recurs, so at least MOST never are bothered again. My only experience with it was a friend's dog, who also had Von Willebrand disease (a bleeding or lack of clotting disease) and they felt it was related to that.

I'm so glad Zest is feeling better! I'm sending out happy thoughts for a speedy recovery so she will be home soon.

Oh my.. what a scare! Glad to hear she's doing a bit better already.. We're sending positive thoughts your way!

[MacPack]

Thanks for the update, so glad Zest! is better, I'm sure you feel better too!

oh, Kim..I am so sorry to hear of Zest..praying she regains her strength and kicks this in the butt…keep us posted if you have the energy.

Thanks so much everyone! those good thougths/prayers ARE working and we anticipate she'll be home around lunchtime. She will need a bland diet for a while, but we ARE planning for a complete recovery. I'll post again when she's home.

That's good news! How scary for the both of you to go through this! Continued good health, and I will think of the both of you often today.

[sinbaje]

Healing thoughts for you all. Scary.

Hoping for a quick recovery

[agilebasenji]

Okay, she's home now! YEA! She will be on a bland diet for almost a week, but then we can start introducing her normal food. Of course she managed to charm everyone in the place, but I told them I hoped we did NOT see them again. So much for doing soemthing fun with the tax rebate. Oh well. She does need to go to her regular vet for a quick blood test on Monday and maybe later in the week, but at least she gets to sleep in the bed with me tonight!

So glad to hear that she is home and recovering!!! That is super news….

[DebraDownSouth]

I am so glad she is home!

Wow…glad to read that everything is going to be okay. Best wishes to you guys!

[agilebasenji]

thanks everyone! her blood work looked normal on Monday and today we're going from 4 feedings to 3, so that will be sad for her. I'd say she's about 90% or so back to normal. Tuesday, however, Pearl-petual Motion the crazy malinois threw up blood so she spent Tues at our regular vet's for observation. She was normal there - no vomit, no diarrhea. Except I swear she did not recognize me when I picked her up 8 hours later. Anyone else read Simple Dog Goes for a Joy Ride?

I really did not write that, but I think Simple dog is a close (very close) relative of Pearl. Pearl's hobbies include spinning, ball chasing and destroying toys.
