poor little Aidan!

we just got home from the vet, and Aidan is still there. :( she started acting all whiny and shaky earlier this afternoon and she seemed kind of hot.a little later it was dinner time and she was trying to eat it, but it was like when you are totally sick and they think some food is going to help, but you can only manage to take a few bites. and THAT was what she was doing- and most everyone knows she likes her food! so once that happened we KNEW something was for sure wrong with her. so we loaded everybody up and went down to our vet -30 min. away in bastrop, la. so she has some kind of infection from what they have no idea and she has a bigtime doggie fever. we had to hold ice packs on her while the vet was examining her and giving her shots of this and that. when we finally left, someone had just walked in w/ an IV bag and they were going to hook her up :( ... so the vet just called us around 5:15 and said that her fever has gone down one degree, so she is keeping the ice packs on her because she doesn't want to have to use some drug that will make the fever go down- apparently it's better if their body does it. so she'll be there over night and we call tomorrow and find out how she's doing...ugh! dogs! aidan especially has been pretty pricey in all of her 9 years! though I think we spent 500 on reavy's infected foot & neutering when it was all said and done - but at least it wasn't ONE bill like this will be! :( ugh. it's always something!!
