Walt
Thanks for the encouragement.  I am still waiting to
hear about his blood work...he is eating and keeping
it down.  The specialist said he could recover, but he
has found once the gallbladder looks like a "kiwi"
they do not respond to antibiotics...my dog is sorta
boarderline kiwi...that's why the lab work was so
important-my own vet has seen just a "few" dogs have
the same thing as mine, and recover...my concern is
the liver cyst, even though the specialist wasn't
overly concerned-he said it is common in dogs, but it
hangs off one of the lobes of the liver, and therefore
it needs to be watched for changes-hence another
re-check of the ultrasound.  I've got as many
Christian friends praying-God can do miracles. It is
so hard to let someone or something you love go.
I will update you when I hear.
