I called the vet this morning and James late this afternoon: Willow is doing okay. She hasn't had diarrhea or vomiting today, but is still on antibiotics and pain medication. They will take another blood test on Friday and if it turns out okay she can come home. I hope that's the case. It's very lonely around here without the patter of canine feet, although Pidge is doing his best to make enough noise for two. There's no collar jingles, and when James sat in his chair tonight there was an absent furry brown lump lying on his right leg.

Poor Wil. All she knows is she threw up and it hurt when she went outside; now she's stuck in a cage away from home. She must think she's being punished.

I missed your earlier report that Willow had pancreatis. It is nothing to fool around with, so I am glad you got her to the vet promptly. Did he or she give any reason as to the cause?

The vet thinks that it may have been triggered by the ham bone we had given her to chew on. Terriers are apparently predisposed for pancreatitis.
