I don’t quite know where to start - after we took her home on Wednesday we were pleased that she was eating reasonably well. She had a quiet weekend, seemed very slow getting up and lying back down again, and just plodding outside for a wee from time to time. But we were happy that we didn’t see any of the excessive drinking that was worrying us last week. Took her back to Willows for another blood test yesterday, which showed to our relief that her ionised calcium levels were normal. We’d been worried they would shoot up again when she was off the IV fluids - the fact that they are still normal indicates no cancer. Her C reactive protein levels were sky high, suggesting some kind of inflammatory condition such as poly arthritis. So she’s been back in today to have her joints tapped, and bingo - an inflammatory condition is the culprit. They’re putting her on a course of steroids - intensive to start with and then tailing off. She’s staying in overnight so they can check her reaction to the steroids and we should be able to have her back tomorrow. The vet seemed to think she’ll be back to her normal bouncy self in about 5 days. She’s been described as a “challenging case” and an “odd greyhound” (well we knew that!). We’re just elated. I’m off to the kids’ school carol service this evening, I think I’ll be belting out the carols! Thank you all so much for your kindness. It’s been such a horrible couple of weeks and I am over the moon to have a happy ending xxx

Spritz foster parents have just had a call from vets.... blood tests have come back... Her protein levels are still a little high, but are coming down. Her liver enzymes are getting there slowly, but no cause for concern. She will have another blood test just before xmas to ensure things are still going in correct direction. Yay

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
What a very wet morning! We had such a lot of rain in a short space of time the drains just couldn't cope! When we arrived Jet could have been jet skiing around his kennel! 🙂 Dave and I managed to bale out the water and after his kennel had a good clean Jet was on dry ground again. 🙂 Beautiful Sky went home today. Do hope all goes well in her new home. Xx Reggie had his post op check this afternoon and he is fine, all he needs now is a forever home! :)) Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. :))
