The ER vet gave her two injections of pain meds overnight and they took her out to go pee and poo (which she didn't do). We picked her up very early the next morning and she just laid her little head on my chest and whimpered all the way home. We gave her sugar water with a syringe since she was too out of it to walk into the kitchen and get her water, and she hadn't had anything to drink all night, not to mention the night before she went into the vet other than what they gave her through the I.V. She shivered a lot and our vet said that was a sign of pain, so we did give her the pain pills.
Anyway, I'd see if your vet will let you take her if you take her to the ER vet overnight. Your vet can call ahead and let them know you are coming and send over the report and instructions ahead of time. |
No ER in my area
The animal hospital (vet) we go has a vet on call, but he doesn't actually go there unless there's an emergency being called in
I REALLY don't like the idea of her being alone.
