Guys...It doesn't look good at all.
The Vet is keeping her over night to watch her, but they are thinking she's got cancer or liver failure. They said that it would cost us over $5000 to get her in good health again & honestly, thats much more than we can afford. It's so heartwrenching! The vet said she hasn't ate anything to do or has she pooped.

Mom's very upset...Mandy's her baby. We've all discussed that we don't want her in pain and we'll wait to hear from the vet tomorrow before making any decisions.

It's just a real sad day here at the Endorf household...we already miss her like crazy. I can't imagine what it'll be like if she doesn't come back home.
I've gotta go...before I start crying again. I hate to upset Mom again....
Thanks everyone!

Shell-

I'm so very sorry.
I hope they are wrong about Mandy's diagnosis.

Prayers going out to you, your mom & Mandy.

Thanks guys. I'm just so sad right now...

Good news though...she was frisky & alert today. The vet did a rectal exam & didn't find any blood. But they are doing some tests & we'll go from there. The Vet did say that he didn't think we'd have to put her down at this time, but it may come to that in the future.

Please guys...keep praying for her!

I'm glad she's frisky and alert again, those are good signs, right?
I hope she continues to get better. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for her.

Just an update on Mandy.
SHE'S HOME!!
It looks a lot better than what we had expected!

Here's her discharge instructions & etc:
Diagnosis: Suspected pancreatis & intestinal parasites
Diagnostics: Chemistry revealed elevated liver enzymes consistent with pancreatitis or early liver failure
Fecal floatation revealed prescence of worms

Therapy: Kept for observation
No vomiting noticed in last 24 hours
Hills Prescription diet i/d food was fed while Mandy was in the hospital

Home care: Continue i/d food
Start Monday on one Vitamin E capsule 400 iu once a day after she has started to eat regularly

So, it looks pretty good for her. She's pretty active & very happy to be home.

Thanks everyone for you good vibes & thoughts! I really appreciate it! Looks like Hissy was right again...those blasted worms!
