Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

If you could, keep my parent's dog in your thoughts and prayers.

We've had Maggie for 15 years and she's been a fantastic dog. My mom called my today and said that she hasn't been acting like herself, has been gagging on and off all day, and hasn't kept any food down. They're taking her to the vet in the morning and I hope it's nothing too serious. She's been in relatively good health the last few years, but she's definitely slowed down a lot recently.

I hate being at school and not able to go home to see her. If you could all say a quick prayer, or keep her in your thoughts, we'd appreciate it.

Felt like I needed to share with people who know what this is like. Thanks guys.

Not yet. They ended up keeping her today (both my parents work today) to keep an eye on her and run blood tests.

My mom said she'd call when she'd heard something, but nothing yet. I'll call her in a little bit. They close at 5, so we should hear soon.

Thanks for checking guys! Means a lot. Smile

Just called my mom. Mags is alright. They said her white count is elevated, so they gave her some antibiotics. One of her kidneys is enlarged and her intestines are slightly enlarged.

They seem to think everything is fine though. Said to keep her on a bland diet for a few days and when we ween her back on kibble to feed her several times a day instead of just twice.

My mom said she's acting more like herself and kept some food down today. Very relieved for the most part!
