Sad news about Scout and Nori

We got some bad news on both Scout and his mom Nori today.

Scout has been in the vet hospital for a week now with IV fluids, not being able to hold anything down.  The vet feels he had some sort of viral infection and roundworms that led to very severe lesions on his intestines and stomach. He is not making any improvements. If he does not show signs of improvement soon, we may have to make a very difficult decision.

Nori, his mother, was scheduled to be spayed today, but the vet had to stop the procedure immediately when she started bleeding profusely.  Turns out that she is probably a Doberman mix and there is a disease common to Dobermans called Von Willebrand's Disease, which is a version of hemophilia in dogs. Her prognosis is unknown at this time. If there are any treatments, they will likely be very expensive.
