She's not doing any better. She's actually getting worse. She is now tripping and can not do the steps at all. When I called the vet, they had me come down today for a new antibiotic, and now she's completely zoning. I called them back at 8:30 and they want me to bring her in right away in the morning for blood work. She will have a total work up and if it all comes back normal, they are going to keep her for injectable meds and she can come home tomorrow evening as long as she responds like they hope.
If the blood work comes back that something bad is wrong, well...I'm not sure how much we can do. She's very clearly suffering right now, and I don't know what our options would be. If we can't get her comfortable well....I'm not going to talk about that. I'll update tomorrow sometime. I'm trying to figure out how I'm breaking it to K that we are taking her somewhere tomorrow and she won't be leaving with us right away. And while trying not to lose it mentally. She's our first baby...
Oh no, I'm so sorry. It's not been a good year for IFers pets around here. I really hope a little closer observation and treatment do her some good. Poor, poor baby.
ReplyDeleteI was just a little older than K when my parents lost their first "baby". It was sad, but he had been going down hill for awhile and although I was very sad, even at that age I knew he didn't have much of a life left (he couldn't walk and was incontinent at that point). This will probably be much harder on you than on K.
I hope she turns around.
