Please put Gretchen on your prayer or good thoughts list.

Gretchen has not been feeling very well the last several days. Hardly eating, lethargic, and just not being herself. We took her in this morning to see her vet. Found out right away she had a fever...

Went back to our vet yesterday with a urine sample from Gretchen. It tested out as unremarkable. CBC had tested out as unremarkable on Monday. Her temp was down to 103.5, but the vet was surprised that it had not dropped further, or should have been normal. Gretchen is still very lethargic, and her eyes still have have that glazed, "half there" look. The schleras are reddish and puffy.

Our vet is sending us to a local vet specialist group today:

VSSSTL

We are going to have some ultrasound and po$$ibly some other radiological testing done to try and determine what the heck is going on. While we were at our vets yesterday, she called VSSSTL and talked to one of her doctor friends there, an animal internal medicine specialist. Her judgement, without yet seeing Gretchen and only hearing her symptoms and test results to date, is that she is suspicious of cancer somewhere in her body.

We can only hope she is wrong.:( We also hope today will determine something, yea or nay.

Please keep Gretchen in your thoughts and prayers.
