Thoughts and Prayers needed for Charlie, a PugSavers Pug

Charlie has been in PugSavers for several years. He had TONS of MCT's a few years back and he underwent chemo and did well except he had ongoing tooth problems. He had a dental 2 weeks ago and since that time has not been doing well..he stopped eating and became real lethargic.

The foster mom took him to the vet today and he is not doing well at all. He has a fever and is, as our vet said "just a lump". Normally he is a really bouncy pug.

We have no money right now and owe our vet almost $2000 before today so we can't "pull out all the stops" diagnostically for Charlie, like doing an ultra sound or endoscopy to see if he has an ulcer (he has been on Rimadyl but also on pepcid but that is not a guarantee).

He is going to have to stay hospitalized overnight..please keep Charlie in your thoughts and prayers.

I will say a special prayer for Charlie tonight. Poor little guy....I'll also keep his foster family in my thoughts too.

Damn. Poor little guy. sounds like Pugsavers needs a cash injection. I can't afford much right now, but I will make a donation. Hope Charlie is okay!

Poor baby, I sure hope he is feeling better soon. All the rescues are hurting now it's so sad. I'll send them some money this weekend.

Our vet just called with Charlie's blood work...it looks like kidney failure. She said the treatment is basically IV fluids for 3 days. Not basically the best prognosis. She is going to run another BUN level in the AM and if there is no change and he still is so out of it, then it may be time to send him to the Bridge. The foster family does not want to be there but wants me to be there for him so I will honor their wishes if it need be.

Please keep Charlie in your thoughts and prayers that he is doing better in the AM.

Many thoughts and prayers for Charlie tonight. I've only seen him on the PugSavers website - he kind of reminds me of Peg's late Tyler, who was always one of my crush pugs.

Roxane... I can go with you, if that is the case. I have to bring Peachy in at 9:00, as her infection is back. I can always bring her back home and come back down again. Kelly will be there tomorrow.

Oh no. Poor little guy. It's not sounding good.
