Max is in the hospital

Finally we wised up and took Max to a different vet. He was trying to throw up this morning and then started eating tons of grass so we decided to take him into the doggy emergency room. They admitted him and put him on an IV so that they could replenish his nutrients and fluids. They did more blood work and said his calcium levels so high, they did not even register. So tonight they are going to give him an injection that will flush his system and hopefully start bringing those levels down. That is what I had been trying to get the other vet to do for a week! So hopefully he will start feeling better once his calcium levels come down. They are keeping him until Sunday at least. Actually it makes me feel so much better to know that he is in their care and not laying around here just getting worse. He has lost another 5 lbs. and is down to 55lbs now. Normally he runs between 65 and 70lbs. He is almost as small as samus now...

No test results yet but this vet also was skeptical that he had lymphoma. She seemed to think he was more symptomatic of the Hyperthyroidism. So, that would be great if she is right...Chris and I have a glimmer of hope again!

Tomorrow we are going to try and get out since we don't have to care for Max and go to the Japan Fest here in Atlanta! We are so intrigued by their culture...I think it will be really fun! Hopefully we'll get some good food as well. I'll post pictures tomorrow night...

Thanks again for all your thoughts, kind words, and prayers. It means so much to all of us.
