I got my dog back. Last Sunday when I went to my warehouse to pull some parts to ship out Max, who is 7, looked sluggish, and literally fell and stumbled out of the Eagle. I thought he was sleepy, but I then realized something was not right. So I left everythign and rushed him to the emergency vet hospital on I-10 about 8 miles from my warehouse.
They determined he has a kidney ailment. So he was put on IV and some anti biotics, and I came home, and was a emotional wreck the rest of Sunday. I picked him up Monday at 6:00am to take him to my regular vet, and he was still sluggish, barely moving. They ran all types of tests on him, blood, you name it, and called me Tuesday AM to let me know all the problems. He also was not eating up there, but when I went to see him he did drink a pail of water and two pans of dog food I hand fed him.
I went back up there Tues night to see him again, and walked him. And then Wednesday AM too. Fed him again as he would not eat for the vets. You know,Paige had just sent out a lot of Christmas cards last week with this photoin it of Noah 28 months, Max 7 years and Jacob 10 months:

If you have ever had a pet you love you realize just how much 'family' theybecome. Maybe more so a dog, I do not know, have only owned two dogs, Max being one of them, my whole life. And they can't tell you if something is wrong either, just like kids. You only hopefully can just be observant and catch it early.
The doctor at Spring Branch Med Clinic made our Christmas be letting me bring Max home for Christmas. It seemed to energize his batteries. Both Noah and Jacob were excited to see him; I know Paige and me really were, even though he is not anywhere full strength, it was just comforting him being in the same room.
I have learned a lot about kidney disease in dogs the past week, more than I want to know. Max is here at the house right now, and while he still has a good chance of survival, I also realize it ain't going to be easy helpinghim thru this crisis. Somehow, he seems to know that me hand feeding him, making him drink water, lots of water, the pills and the syringe, is hopefully for the better.
So while I did get a number of material things from money, clothes, AMC toys, games, even a new massaging chair for my office, noting comes close of having a old, loyal, friend beside you for another Christmas!
