Tilly has 2 types of infection in her kidneys. One is EColi and the other one I cant remember. That one is drug resistant, so Vet is giving her another antibiotic that is usually reserved for large animals. Yesterday morning she was at my vets home and she ate some yogurt. Things were looking up. When I got home from work my wife said that Tilly had 2 seizures and was not doing well. I called my vet and she was bringing Tilly to the clinic for a x-ray and some more blood tests. We met her there. The xray with Barium showed no blockages and by our suprise her Bun and other kidney related tested were doing much better. The 24 hour daily fluid pump appears to be working. Of course, she was very glad to see us. She still wont eat any real food, even though I tried to hand feed her. This is very tough on her and us. My vet (the saint of all times) took her back home to continue the fluids with added plasma and sugar. She thinks the seizures may have been caused by a rapid blood sugar loss. Will wait for a call today on her progress.
