The dog with 9 lives

My update today is a very happy and relieved one.  After three days of IV fluids and many diagnostic tests, Samson's labs have come back very positive.  His kidney function has improved significantly and is about 98% back to normal! He is no longer in immediate danger, but we still have a ways to go.  He's not eating yet and is trying to eat grass to throw up.  We're giving him meds to help with the heartburn and trying all his favorite foods to get him to eat.  I'm optimistic that we'll get there, as this no eating stuff is not new for him.  For now we're breathing a huge sigh of relief and hoping that he continues on the road to recovery.  As my co-worker said last night, Samson is the dog with 9 lives! He's pretty amazing. 

Thanks for all the kind words and positive thoughts. It's been a rough weekend and every kind word helped us get through it.  Thank you to my sister, Chris, for helping us with Samson care on our weekend to work! You helped make it easier for him get all those hours of fluids without us losing a day of work, so thank you thank you thank you!! We'll keep everyone posted  :)
