We went in to the vet this AM for another blood draw - the vet said right away that Elle was looking much better and said she could even tell that her blood looked better when she was taking it. Yay!
And the bloodwork confirmed - steroids appear to be working and she is on the mend! Yay!
And on Saturday we get to take her down to 'roids once a day instead of twice a day, so hopefully she'll stop wetting the bed when that happens (twice in the span of 4 hours last night. good times)
And of course the best part of the blood draw? Today's bandage is pink! Pink makes it all feel better, duh.
While we were waiting on the results from bloodwork Elle decided that she was thirsty and would drink from the leaky faucet in the exam room. She was cracking me up so I had to get a pic and a video.
Sometimes it's very convenient to be counter height.
Back to the books - thanks for the good thoughts everyone!
Glad to hear Elle is doing so well!
ReplyDeleteLoved the video.
Prayers and good vibes are being sent your way for Elle and the bar!
Yay for a pink bandaid and a cleaner bill of health! Wishes of continued speedy recovery to Elle and props to her for making herself at home with the faucet! I seriously love your dog!
ReplyDeleteYay! Elle Woods definitely looks better. I can tell that her ears are perky, which is always a good sign. Now GO STUDY :)
ReplyDeleteYay! What an adorable picture with her pink bandage - and such a funny shot of her drinking out of the faucet. I'm glad she's doing better!
ReplyDeleteso adorable! happy she's better! loving the blog.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear she is doing better. She is such a beautiful dog. I love how the bandage matches her collar :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear Elle is getting better!
ReplyDeleteBtw Elle, pink is a good color for you:)
Glad Elle is getting better, that is just the most adorable dog and pink is a great color for her! I second that!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that she is doing better!
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo!! I'm so glad that Elle is beginning to perk back up! You both are in my prayers & thoughts...her to get better, you to kick ass on the bar & for the both of you~~that there is no more pissing of the bed! :)
ReplyDeleteYour dog is fantastic
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! I am so glad Elle is on the mend!!!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm so sorry I've missed what's been happening with Elle! Poor thing! And poor you - you must have been so worried! But am glad to hear that the medication seems to be working and making her feel better - and I do have to agree: I think PINK does makes things better! :-)
ReplyDeleteHoney often drinks from taps like that - ha! ha! - not at home, of course, but when we're out in public and can't find a good water source for her, I'll sometimes take her to a public toilet and let her drink from the taps there! Or here in Australia, there are a lot of (human) water fountains out in the parks so she's learnt to drink from those (good thing about the Dane height!)
Wishing Elle better and Honey sends lot of healing slobbers -

I'm glad she's on the right track. There is nothing worse than a sick pup.
ReplyDeleteSO cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's not what Bella had.
ReplyDeleteI can sympathize with the steroid complications. Andy took prednisone when he had kennel cough a few years ago, and he had to piss like a race horse every few hours.
