Chesney

Chesney, our 2 1/2 year old Boxer would not eat yesterday, threw up, and his stomach sounded HORRIBLE so Cole took him to the vet's office late in the afternoon. We didn't even call to make an appt or see if we could come in! Cole treated it like it was life or death, threw him in the truck and rushed up there! (He would probably tell a different story, but he was really worried about him!)
The vet decided to keep him overnight, just to watch him since he was dehydrated and didn't feel good. She was also going to do blood work and give him an IV of fluids. We were told she would call Cole this morning with the blood work results. WELL, good thing we took him because he has pancreatitis, which would have been fatal if not treated.
Chesney will be ok, which is really great! (I hate to admit this, because before Chesney, I was not a pet lover...but I actually cried when I read Cole's text message telling me he had pancreatitis and read the cost of treatment! I thought Cole would say we weren't going to spend that much on a dog and to put him down. The thought of sitting Allison down and telling her Chesney wasn't coming home was too much and I have developed a love for him!!! Gosh, I just said that!!!)
But, we definitely are glad for the decision we made because Chesney should be coming home possibly tomorrow or Thursday!
