Life Is A 50/50 Proposition
My dog Wenzel, which some of you have had the pleasure of meeting, is now in a vet hospital fighting for her life. She has some kind of blood disorder, where her body is attacking red blood cells. The blood cell carcasses are stopping up her system causing systemic organ failure. These are big city docs who remind me of "Dr. House" in that they get all the really hard cases.
Wenzel is in the best hands possible. A sample of her blood has been sent to Colorado for "testing". These guys don't just neuter pit bulls...
It has been one roller coaster week so far, and I am glad that tonight, I can sleep, knowing that there is nothing I can do.

You are in my thoughts~~
Aw. Sending good thoughts your and Wenzel's way
I am so sorry. There's just not much sadder than a sick animal.
Fight on Wenzel.
You both are in my thoughts and prayers...sorry man...I've been there several times and I know it isn't easy. Sorry.
Thinking of you, mate.
You'vve had a rough go with your dogs lately. I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Scott. Our dogs bring us so much love and joy, and they can also break our hearts. I certainly hope the vets are able to come up with a fix for Wenzel. The both of you will be in my heart.
How horrible for both of you. Is it anything like how Tuti went? If so, could there be something somewhere in the vicinity that they both stumbled into? Does a neighbor have an unusual hobby or work using chemicals? Geez. Hope the docs get it figured out.
Oh Scott...
You and your baby are in my thoughts & prayers.
Hang in there.
oh, man. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you both.
Thank you all for all of the kind thoughts. Wenzel got a blood transfusion last night. She is stable today. They need to keep her stable while the drugs take time to work. Test results are all due in this afternoon and evening.
Thank You all again for the warmth and concern!
Scott--
Boom sends puppy get well wishes. Dog parenting is the hardest job ever. XO
I'm so glad she's stable - and I'll keep sending love that way.
Warm thoughts and wishes to Wenzel for a speedy recovery. You've had a tough go of it with your beloved dogs. I've been there, for sure. I hope there's good news on your next post.
oh, dear Scott. Hoping the meds are doing their job quickly.
All good thoughts for you and darling Wenzel.
As a fellow dog lover I can only imagine how you feel. I'm glad she is getting the best possible help and you're doing all you can to save her.
Our puppies send their love and butt sniffs her way. Poor baby girl! Give her hugs from us when you can.
Interesting...do dogs have to be typed for blood too?
