The puppy went to our family vet yesterday and there is a gastrointestinal infection, high white blood cell count, dehydration, and low blood sugar. So they treated her via IV until they closed, then we transported her to an overnight clinic where they continued care. They closed at 8AM when I transferred her to another vet that the overnight clinic recommended and several friends. In fact, it is the same vet clinic that did her puppy check-up before we adopted her.. Vet who took her in was the son not the dad. But the clinic comes highly rated. He is continuing care and observation until 5PM when I will return and find out the rest of the plan. She has shown some symptoms of focal seizures as well.
If all goes well, we will bring her home tonight and the vet mentioned giving her prescription food and making it into a slushie texture and feeding her with a syringe if she doesn't eat on her own. He said feedings every 2-3 hours until she has fully recovered. At 8AM this morning she weighed 2.6 pounds. This is how I have always written weights (I have four kids too), perhaps it is a military thing as we also tend to write dates differently. I have been asked if I was military based on how I sometimes write a date on paperwork. It is also the same format that is on the puppy's paperwork from the vet but I suppose they put the # sign up front might make a difference for ya'll. I didn't see that to be such as big deal as it seemed to be on this thread since it is obvious to me and others in my group chats I have been posting in.
