Jodi's Reese

Pulling for Reese

Jodi is a frequent contributor of original contenet to this site.  She sent this yesterday. Do we pray for dogs?  Yes, we do. “ Ro[d]ger- I’ll try not to be too long winded.  But, a post Hucker's Candy you put up some time ago about your son’s dog dying of twisted stomach has always stayed on my mind.  The day I read that post I told my husband about it…Because, I had never heard of such a symptom and my dog would be susceptible.  He brushed it off as me being paranoid.  Well, last night my dog that is the politest rott mix you will ever meet started acting peculiar.  I could tell she wasn’t comfortable and in a flash your post about twisted stomach came into mind.  I punched it up in google and saw the symptoms were matching her movements.  I called the ER vet clinic and they said you need to rush her here.  They began surgery right after they ran the blood work, ekg, etc.   Ended up 1/3 of her stomach was removed and she is on guarded condition.  They are not sure if she will survive.  I’m of course sick with worry but the doctor said she would have died if I didn’t bring her in so quickly. So, I want to THANK YOU and your son for allowing that post to happen.  Reese would not be here right now if I had not read that story.  I’m just praying she will continue to recover and we will be able to take her home.  So from my family to yours we send much love.
