brain dead

[Gina Heitz <brier@oregonsbest.com>]

Hi All,

I am going to be brain dead again for a while.  Short of the long of it is 
Rocky is not feeling very well and I am concerned again.  I was getting 
ready to go out to Judy's to groom (never made it past the vet 
clinic).  Rocky was not looking so hot but I figured oh bad day just take 
him with me...  He didn't want to eat but with Rocky that has been the 
story of his life from puppydom so it's not a real good gage.  Refusal to 
fetch however is a sure bad sign with him.  I had put him out in the yard 
to do his job before we left and he just went out and laid down.  Would not 
get up when called (not Rocky)  passed on tossed tennis ball (not 
Rocky)  passed on a tossed bumper (most certainly not Rocky).  We did 
x-rays and there is fluid in his left lung again.  He is rigid acting 
painful and just looks sick. We don't know if it's his back or the cancer 
this time... Sent out blood and *hope* the lab gets it back to us 
today.  He's back on antibiotics and we may even move to steroids 
too.  Will post more when I know more...  But for now forgive me if I am 
short or delayed in replies.

Vet just called blood work is all normal.  So were at wait watch and 
see.  He is resting comfortably.
