Rushed Bentley to the vet this morning first thing after finding him in a really bad way. Temp 99 although his eyes were bright, alert, he was crying so pitifully. By the time we got there the temp was 98 and dropping!  I have such a bad feeling about this and am just poised waiting for the phone to ring to see what the vet says might be wrong with him. He was lying in pools of vomit in a volume I haven’t seen since distemper hit here 9 years ago. I know this is not distemper, but God I don’t know what it could be.

2:20 update: Vet just called and has no answers just questions. Said that Bent’s breath is fetid which could indicate pancreatitis. Blood work on rush back tomorrow. They are giving him fluids but it doesn’t help he stays dehydrated and they have given him something for nausea and pain. They are keeping him for now- he also said this might be a failing liver because his urine was the color of dark orange juice. 🙁 the vet said that Bent is just “flat” all I can do is pray and hope he stays strong and beats this- whatever this is.
