I am asking for everyone to pray for my Little Mattie. Today she was acting kinda wierd and I went to the doctor and came home and my Husband said to look at her. Well I went to get her out of her bed and she was wobbly (hard to explain) her head was wobbling back and forth and she couldn't stand up.. I grabbed her and took her to my vets. Thank God I got there before she closed for the holiday weekend. My vet took blood test an everything came back normal except it showed she was a little dehydrated. She then took an xray and said everything was okay except she had a enlarged heart. For her size it was really big. She said she didn't see any lesions or anything. But she suspected Liver shunt. She gave her fluid under her skin and has her on antibiotics. Mattie will have a Mri and ultrasound of her stomach to see if she does have liver shunt or a brain lesion.
I am beside myself..I have been crying all day. I feel so bad. So far just what they did today was $500.00. The test tuesday will be another $500.00. If she has liver shunt then surgery will be another 3 grand or more. So will have to wait till tuesday about the test and what comes of it. I am just devistated. My little girl may not make it. Just keep her in your prayers please, Thanks so much!
