my doggie is sick.

Jericho is very sick. He was limping yesterday, but seemed able to pee and whatnot, so we blamed it on abrasions from a too-close shave at the groomer, but kept an eye on him. In the evening, he was obviously unwell and lethargic.

I called first thing this morning, Tom took him in at 11. He has Lyme disease and is in kidney failure. They prognosis is not good, but they have him on IV antibiotics and fluids and will call us this evening. I might go visit him before they close. He will be shuttled to a 24-hour vet for observation tonight.

I keep crying. I love my poodle-doodle-dog.
