Praying that it isn't sepsis, and the antibiotics start to work. Sending positive thoughts. Please let us know as soon as you hear. I'll be looking for updates.

They said her wbc went from 2700 to close to 4700 and the low range of normal is in the 6000ish range I can't remember the exact number but because she rebounded they don't think it was sepsis just that all her wbc were going to the lungs and weren't in her blood. They still see quite a bit of pneumonia in the X-rays and her respitory rate is 45-50 per minute. They will take her glucose again and repeat more test tomorrow. So I feel some relief. I just want my baby in my arms but I am so thankful to live near an emergency/specialty vet hospital.

Oh I hope she gets over this quickly. The waiting and worry can drain the life out of the strongest bully parent.

They still have her in the oxygen cage. She did eat a little today where yesterday she wouldn't eat at all. They said she still had labored breathing but it seemed to be better so in the 40's. They will do more bloodwork and call me at dinner time when the daytime ICU dr leaves and the overnight dr comes in.

I just got the afternoon call from the vet her WBC is in the 12,000's YEAH!!! She is still labored so they will keep her in the Oxygen cage through the night and try to wean her off tomorrow afternoon and see how she does. She has been eating today and no regurgitation!!! The doctor said the earliest he would foresee her going home would be Wednesday afternoon but the possibility of Thursday or Friday may be more likely! I really pray she has turned the corner I miss her snuggles!
