Dexter has come home today. YAY! His ultrasound showed 2 perfect kidneys with no damage and no signs of not being fully developed. His BUN level didn't drop as much as they wanted but it is on the way down. He is able to rest here at home without all the stress of the hospital. Tomorrow we go get more bloodwork done to see if his levels dropped. At this point they think (and I hope so I know what we are fighting) it's leptoseriosis, a NASTY bacteria that comes from Racoon urine. They say that it breeds in puddles; DON'T LET YOUR DOG GET INTO PUDDLES!!!! I'll post more then I know more. The outreach of support has been amazing! We thank you all so much for the prayers.
