Please pray for our furry family member Harley - she is overnight at the local Animal Hospital suffering from Acute Renal Failure. We aren't sure why - no anti-freeze, raisins, grapes, or other toxins. Her BUN levels - to quote the vet "were the highest she had ever seen in a live animal". They were over 100 - even if they can reverse this - we are not sure if she will have enough kidney function left.
We were all crying at the vet's office tonight - we were there for almost 3 hours. Tomorrow I take my state exams for my counseling license - what awful timing as my mind will be on Harley. Brody is going to check on her in the morning and they will run her levels again.
Please keep her in your prayers and our kids too - they were scared she had to stay at the vet's office.

How scary! We will definitely be praying for Harley and for your family! Good luck tomorrow with your exams!
Oh Tracy, I am so sorry. Keep us posted on how she is doing.

I just saw this tonight but am still praying for you ALL!!! Let us know how everything turns out...with Harley and with your state exams!! PRAYING...
Tracy- I can't find your current email address, but have the vet check to see if it is Leptosporosis (sp?) a.s.a.p.!!!!! Same thing happened to our old dog years ago and his kidneys failed out of the blue. It is a bacterial infection they pick up from drinking water where there are lots of deer around who might have peed in the water. Injectable Penicilin and tons of rehydration thru an I.V. saved our dog's life.
Best wishes,
Lisen
