No bloodwork was done at first, he wanted to try this first and see how she did, if she didn't start to improve after having had the meds, he said we'd do testing. As for her still seeming to be in pain now, no, I don't think she is, I mean, now she holds her ears up and not down, her face doesn't look so sad now and she doesn't whine when she's picked up. She did whine 3 times before I first took her to the vet (over a three day period) when she was picked up and I though perhaps the kids picked her up wrong or something, but then when she just started acting like she wasn't herself and didn't want to play or eat and kept her ears laid back down on her head and just wanted to lay on my lap, I knew something was wrong. She also growled at my husband when he tried to pick her up out of the bed with me the one night, I think it's cause her tummy hurt, cause she's never done that before. And when I was sitting here in my chair and had her on my lap, my leg would get sore and I'd have to stretch it, so, I'd put my hand under her tummy and try to gently move her and she would growl. So I'm thinking it was her tummy that was sore. She doesn't seem to be tender there anymore though, as I pick her up and move her around and she doesn't growl now. The doc said since she was having normal BM's it's not a blockage. I just hope things are better tomorrow. |
Gosh...it really does sound like she was in some real pain before (and maybe still is in some residual pain if she's still vomiting). Pain can cause vomiting, so now I'm wondering about that as a trigger. Really tough to say though since there has been the combo of pain, sickness, Rimadyl, possible other things. I almost think if it continues though, it might be worth taking her in again for bloodwork and to have the vet realllllly palpate her entire body very, very well to check for soreness, tenderness. This may be a
dumb question - but could the turtle have bitten her?
