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...

Gretchen update?

Rita & the gang
Miss gretchen continues to do well, but there is still a little redness to her eyelids. Not swollen, however. :) Bumps/lesions/red spots on her body have resolved themselves almost 100%:C

At this point, and with all the testing performed, I have to believe that she has had a tick borne illness such as Ehrlichia, as Rockhillmanor mentioned a few days ago. Hopefully the doxycycline will wipe the little buggers out of her system!:M

Otherwise, Gretchen is eating, drinking and playing just like there's nothing wrong. Oh, to be like a dog . . . . :W
