Thanks guys, we are home now.
She was super excited to see us when she saw her collar and leash in my hand.
She was waggin the tail all over the place.
Had a long drive home and she napped, but when we got home, she couldn't wait to get out of the truck and go see Buddy.
They sniffed and reacquainted themselves, then went out and were running around.
I had to keep telling her to slow down, they want her taking it easy.
Managed to get her 2 pm pill down with some food.
But not sure she will eat at 6pm, and 8 pm when I have to give her more.
Then every morning I have to give her a liter of fluids thru a needle, takes 20-30 min.
Helps having 2 people, one to hold her and the needle in place and the other to squeeze the IV bag.
Looks like I am getting a crash course in becoming a vet tech.
Home is where she'll be happiest, that's for sure.
Peanut butter worked wonders for Duncan when I had to slip him pills, and I assume the fuilds are subcutaneous(?). Not hard to do if they stay calm, but that's the key. And yes, two people does make it easier... one to distract/calm, and one to administer. Just don't get in a rush. You don't want the fluid bubble to get too big.

Peanut butter is usually a sale, pill in the middle.
Sorry man. Looks like a great pal.
Mebe the vet can offer some doggie downers and give her just 1/4, a half hour before her daily few minutes out... just to slow her flow? I dunno...
At least she will see one more Christmas. It can be a very happy and sad time of year.
I wrap my dogs pills in kraft singles and im pretty sure she doesn't even taste it. Some small hamburger meatballs can work too in a pinch for the bigger ones.
