$10 000 dog

Sunday evening Mags was out for a walk with FM and suddenly vomited and poo'd.  Then passed out on the footpath. 

FM called and I grabbed my car and drove to the location and picked her up.  I had to carry her to the car.

Picked up Phoebe who lay in the back with Mags. As we drove to the vet, Phoebe spoke to them and examined and reported on the condition of her gums and lips. 

We went to the 24hr vet at Stones corner.   They rushed her out the back. While we waited I contacted my crew and cancelled Monday rowing.  About half an hour later we were ushered to the back area and Mags was lying on a table.  Upon hearing my voice,  She looked up and wagged her tail. She was weak and her heart beat was over 200bpm.
We left her and went home. 

Next day (Monday 1 June) they called early and provided a status update. 

TUESDAY 2 JUN
Went in after gym in the morning,  came back middle of the day and they got me to take her for a walk. 
It was lovely to see her able to move but she was not eating and lacking stamina. 


 Came back in the late afternoon. Megan came in too.
Heart rate down a bit.  They were pumping Lignocane into her to try and stablise her. 
WEDNESDAY 3 JUNE 7:30am
After rowing.  Dropped in. 
Took her for a walk. 
Wednesday 3 June 1:30pm
She didn't want me to leave. 

Wednesday 5pm
She had faded. No energy. 
it was decided to keep her overnight.  Observation. 
THURSDAY 4 JUNE
No rowing and Ben not available for coffee.  Got up at 4:30. Showered and dressed and drove in. I advised she was right to take home.  Great news. 
FRIDAY 5 JUNE
First full day at home. Phoebe feed her multiple small meals of chicken.
