Update on Brie #2

[spicedogs]

She had a rough night. They increased her potassium, which decreased her elevated creatine considerably. Unfortunately, balancing a living being's chemistry is not easy. The increased potassium created a cardiac arrhythmia. She is now a bit droopy and not feeling well.  She didn't eat for the staff members, but ate for Abbie. As anyone knows who has been or has had someone who has been under hospitalization for chronic illness, for every two step forward, there is a step backwards. We are still hopeful, as she is off the acute renal failure list. We heard that the kitty who is in there with her underwent the same troubles, and he is going home tomorrow. The dog who was run over by a car went home today.

I'm glad she ate for Abbie! You know, during his hospitalizations, Jasper would never eat for any of the staff, but would take it from my hand. Therefore, I worked out with the staff that I'd come in regularly for feeding. My vets swear it helped his recoveries, and at least in one case, made the difference in his survival, because it gave him that will to go on that's so needed.

My thoughts are with you all!
