Just called the vet. They said that Scooter is starting to improve, and *might* get to come home tomorrow evening. They said they're going to take another complete blood count and run a bunch more tests today.
I'm so glad that it's not Parvo. I read up on that the other night and that's pretty serious disease that doesn't usually have a positive outcome
I'm happy to hear that he's starting to improve

I called the vet again tonight, I couldn't talk to the vet but talked to a nurse. She explained more than the woman this morning did. She said that Scooter vomited once last night but hasn't vomited at all today. He's had a little bit of diarrhea today but she said he's a lot spunkier than yesterday. I'll call and talk to the vet in the morning and fingers crossed he'll get to come home tomorrow evening.
Oh I'm glad you've heard some good news! (not getting sick like he was!) I hope and pray he's home and back to normal very very soon!

Just called the vet, they said he's doing MUCH better, he's eating well, very active, and is not vomiting or anything anymore. But I keep hearing, "well, he *might* get to come home tomorrow"... that's what they told me yesterday, and that's what they told me again today. John feels that since he's eating, and is active, and is doing better, that he wants me to call the vet back in a little while and tell them that we're coming to get him today. If he's better, we want to bring him home, there's no reason for him to stay at the vet if nothing is wrong with him anymore.

Well after hearing for two days that he *might* get to come home, I called the vet this morning and I'm told: "he's doing great, he's eating, drinking, no vomiting, no diarrhea, he's active, we have stopped the catheter and the IVs... but I think we're going to keep him the rest of the weekend". I said I absolutely do not think so, he's coming home today, regardless of what they say. They're not keeping him for any reason, and the vet closes early this afternoon and no one goes into the office until Monday morning at all. He's not going to sit there for that long with no care. So the tech said she'd try to get a hold of the vet and see what he wants to do and call me back, I'm going to give her about 20 more minutes and then I'm calling back. Do you all think I'm wrong?
I would want my baby home too. I think you did the right thing. I swear some vets do this just to rack the bill up.

HE'S HOME!!!! We just went and picked him up about 2 hours ago. He's acting great, playing a ton, eating and drinking well. He was sent home with three medications... one he'll take for 4 days, one for 8 days, and the other for 9 days. We REALLY lucked out though, when I picked him up I went ahead and added flea preventative for all the dogs and cats... the total bill was $330! Thanks for all the vibes everyone, they really helped him out!
Aww I am so glad he is finally home!
