Echo in Trouble

Today, Bill and I will go back to the vet, the third time in three days. Echo is very ill, weak and feverish, unable to walk more than a few steps.

Yesterday, the dog-doc took x-rays and found she has an enlarged kidney and a swollen liver. But we still have no definitive idea what is causing her distress. We have decided to treat as if it were leptosporosis without going through the expense and wait of doing the test. Hopefully, she'll be able to pull through once more, as she did last fall.

Bill and I took dog-watch shifts last night, so we're both running on half sleep rations. I just hope this isn't the end for my beloved canine pal.
