Pray for our Millie Boo
We had to rush our little dog, Millie Boo, to the emergency vet last night. After running tests they came to the conclusion that she ingested rat poison. She was pretty far along in the process and the doctor gave her a 50/50 chance of survival last night. To those who know us, you know that Millie Boo is like a daughter to us and she is only a year old.
Rat poison is deadly to animals because it depletes their Vitamin K, thus not allowing their blood to clot, which means the animal bleeds to death internally. After taking an x-ray, the doctor said that there was not that much blood in her lungs (which is great) and that they would start with a blood transfusion immediately. They took blood from a nurse's dog that was there, and throughout the night gave Millie new blood and injections of Vitamin K.
At 8 this morning, the doctor was more positive and said that Millie Boo was doing "great" and that she was playful and energetic. This may mean that her new blood is clotting which will cure her. We will know for sure if she'll make it at 4 pm today when they run the blood clot test. Please pray for her and my wife who is 28 weeks pregnant. She does not need this stress.

One dog lover to another ... my prayers for Millie went up as I read. May our God's mercy extend to her for your sakes.
Thanks J.A.
Good news so far. We are awaiting on the blood test but things are looking up.
Charlie,
I'm sorry to hear this. I will be praying for ya'll. I also love little Millie Boo. I will give you a call when I get home on Saturday.
Just talked to the doctor again and the blood test went great and her blood clotting ability seems to be working fine. If she stays stable tomorrow, we'll get her home tomorrow evening. Thanks again, everyone, for your prayers.
