Prayer Request

I have a prayer request today...
Our dog, Taffy is VERY sick! She hasn't really eaten since Friday, was only drinking a little bit and was throwing up about twice a day. My mom took her to the vet yesterday and they couldn't thank her enough for bringing her in because by today it could've been too late. The vet said she is have trouble with her liver. They kept her overnight to get her hydrated again. They will be doing more blood work today to see if her liver numbers are still high and they will also try to get her to eat a bit. This is very scary! I know she is old, but it's still so hard! The vet said that 3 years for a human is 2 1/2 weeks for a dog! That's crazy!!
Please pray that they will be able to figure out what is wrong with Taffy and that they will be able to treat it. We know that Taffy is not in any pain, so that is a very good thing! We're all finding this hard, especially my mom since her and Taffy are at home together all day every day. Thanks for your prayers everyone! I'll keep you updated on the situation.

Awww poor Taffy. Hope she gets better. It's hard to see a family member sick like that, especially when they can't tell you what's wrong.

Is Jackie her vet? She does a good job...

Sorry to hear that. It's hard when pets are sick. Thinking of you.

Sorry to hear about your dog. I was a cat lover growing up and I hated it when my cat got sick or lost.
