Doggie stuff

Rusty went to the emergency vet in NH Monday am. We took him for blood work Sat. the results showed his crit dangerously low...we rushed him in for a blood transfusion which he didn't end up needing. We later found out the tube had a clot and that changed his values, he wasn't that ill, but while there they wanted to do an u/s of his kidneys and diuresis him for 48 hours. We weren't prepared to leave him. Anyway he did well and we took him home at 8 pm tonight. We missed him so much! The iv fluid treatments helped his lab values a little, the u/s showed a degenerative change (that they said was not awful, but not great either). He was also put on a blood pressure med as his pressure was hight and also prevacid for his stomach and the acids. We hope this bought him some more time with us. They wanted to keep him for another 48hrs, but we all feel he should just be home.

Josh and I have been thinking for a while now that we'd like to get a puppy and we feel now is a good time as we want the puppy to get to play with Rusty as Rust is such a love. So we've done research and we found ourselves a pup, yes things always happen at once. I thought it would take longer, but we think we found the one. We visited him tonight and of course, he is SO cute!!

We pray all 3 of them get along and I don't go too crazy taking care of 2 dogs, 1 toddler and a puppy...........
