Sick Dog

Got a voicemail on the cell just as I was leaving work to go home.  The Boss said if she wasn't home she's at the vets.  The nearest vet is on the way, so seeing her car I stopped.  Just as I pulled up she came out of the building carrying the little Sheba Inu.  The dog had the poops, very lethargic and blood tests revealed very poor liver function. 

After we got home she upchucked, revealing a 1 inch long piece of caulk. Later she did it again revealing a few small pieces of caulk.  We had all new gutters installed Saturday, so it appears the dog ate some caulk laying on the ground this morning.  Called the installer for the type of caulk used, then the Boss called the 1-800 poison control number.  And they basically had nothing other than some chemical ingredients.  Being mostly cured, we're hoping the little dog hasn't absorbed too much in the way of chemicals.

As I write this she's now able to stand and she drank some water.  Will she make it through the night?  Will there be permanent liver damage?  Only time will tell.
