Our sheltie Rowan was taken in for listlessness, not eating, vomiting stomach bile (green or orange stain on rug). We decided not to wait for his regular vet and took him to a 24 hour pet clinic. Good thing.
They asked a lot of questions and gave us a price list from a high end to a low end. Thank you for Care Credit (up to 2000 limit) so we opted for the test and found he had high liver enzymes and mild pancreatic symptoms. He was put on an IV and pain meds. He has been there two days and of course the first day we were balling like babies over our little boy (nine years old). He spent the first night and we did research and spoke to the vet to get information on the problems.
It is hard to deal with a problem when they really can't pin the problem down. So two blood test later (each day) he still can't go home because he threw up this morning. Now, I have to call back at 2PM EST to see if he can be released of spend another day of observation. How frustrating.
