Good Luck its very difficult when they get sick but hang in there and hope for the best.

sorry to not update you sooner...we did bring Donner home this morning. The vet wasn't sure if staying another night would really help, he had shown no signs of improvement...if money didn't matter he would have said maybe another night give it a try...but then he remembered how Donner hated it there for his neuter and how depressed he looked while there now, so he said maybe his spirits would be better at home with his family. So we brought his meds home in pill form.

He did decided to pee and throw up in the suv on the way home, but it was on the plastic mat in the cargo area, so cleaned up wasn't too bad. He had some water but I think he over did it and he threw that up on to his paws cuz he was laying in his kennel/cage. I had to leave to IN with the horse trailer to pick a horse up for a friend, so Donner stayed with my husband and kids during the day. He just stayed in his kennel resting. My husband would give him a few licks of water every few minutes or so and he seemed ok with that. My husband went to work night shift and the boys went to a friends. Wehn I got home Donner wagged his tail and stood up. It looked like he peed in his kennel (I took his nice pillow out and just have a towel in it so I can wash easier and just swap them as needed). I cleaned his kennel and put a new towel in, gave Donner his pill, some water and gave him a spnge bath cuz he was looking gross from throwing up on his paws fom earlier (we had just wiped them cuz we didn't know how much more wuld happen) and peeing in his kennel. He did go out and potty which means he made it down the deck stairs. Afterwards he went over by the dog pool (which I have upside down so that he can't get water from it) so I brought him in, I carried him cuz he laid down outside and gave him some more water. It might have been too much water cuz he kinda was acting like he was gonna throw up so I brought him outside, it was dark and he went under the deck so I couldn't really tell if he did. I got him back inside and he has settled back down...I have some ice cubes in a bowl for him to lick on incase he gets thirsty during the night. I have him blocked in the kitchen with a few towels laid down...

Sorry so long...verdict something is up with his liver...mouse poison? infection? some other toxin? he has no brusiing that would show up from mouse poisoning...no fever...outrageously high liver counts (I forget the actual names for the things that are high...but they are super high...

Unfortunately, Marcia just posted on Facebook that Donner has passed. Please keep the family, esp. Marcia's two young boys, in your prayers.

I am so sorry to hear this news!

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Donner.  My thoughts are with you and your family.  It is so hard to see our dogs go to that rainbow bridge.
