TONKA IS HOME!!
« on: June 05, 2006, 06:18:26 pm »
I just brought Tonka home from the vet!  He is back to his old, goofy self and he started eating again yesterday, so he was cleared to come home!  He is pretty skinny after not eating for 8 days but it looks as though he is getting his old apetite back. 
The techs at the clinic were all pretty sad to see him go, seems they all became pretty attached to him.  When I got there to pick him up he was the Tonka I have been missing...jump ing around and knocking things over...he was soooo excited.

Thank you all for your supportive messages and thoughts and all of your prayers.  Tonka is better and he is home!
I am kind of a big deal!

They only know he was fighting an infection, it seemed to be centered in his pancreas (according to blood panels)but they never pinpointed what it was.  Friday they just began treating him with two new (and different) kinds of antibiotics to cover the bases and it seemed to work.  By today he was knocking over techs and leaning on the vets, he head butted a couple of crotches and started eating again!!
My baby is back...it did come at quite a price though! :o
