Reagan-Roo has the flu!

Well, not really the flu but nothing else rhymes with Roo! But sweet baby is sick...
Friday evening I started noticing that Reagan was acting peculiar but I just chalked it up to her being overly tired from being out in the woods most of the day. Saturday morning she was feeling even worse; just lying around and sticking close to my side. Sunday morning she was having a hard time getting up and down and stopped eating and drinking all together. I loaded her in the car a little after 9 and headed to St. Francis Animal Hospital in Augusta. Little did I know I was going to be there for almost 5 hours and end up spending $473! I was very impressed with their facility and the fact that they are open 24 hours (might switch them to this vet permanently). After running a few tests and taking xrays they diagnosed her with having pancreatitis, a herniated disc and severe constipation (lovely!). They gave her fluids and medication through an IV and a good ol' fashion enema and sent me home with some additional antibiotics and steroids for her. As of this morning I could really tell that she was starting to feel a lot better, hopefully she will have a full recovery very soon!
Pouting that I tricked her into going to the vet! 
This is going to be horrible! Maybe if I lay really still that won't see me!
