Today was a joyus day for us. On Friday morning Barb took Roxanne (our Rotweiller) to the vet because she had been having accidents in the house for abour 2 weeks. This is very unusual for her and we were starting to become concerned. The vet wanted to run some tests to see what exactly was wrong, so they kept her & said we could come back to pick her up in the afternoon. When we called to see if she was ready to be picked up we were told the vet wanted to speak with us and she would call back shortly. When she called back, she said that Roxanne has pancreatitis, and needed to stay for the weekend to get IV fluids and medication to help her get better. All weekend we worried abour her, and got updates from the vet. We went today to pick her up (after waiting for an hour, & an outrageous vet bill) and she is now on medication for a bladder infection as well as a low fat diet to keep the inflamation down in her pancreas. Since she didnt really show any signs to begin with we think she was just in the beginning stages of pancreatitis, luckily we caught it early. Here is a picture of her, happy to be home after a long weekend....notice her shaved right leg from the IV's (yes multiple) she had...
