I have now gotten more details about incident at the vet's office on Friday. The vet is sure that he noticed his negative reaction immediately. He says he immediately adjusted the oxygen and was massaging his heart while he was reviving him. Fast forward to the 24 hour vet, the $3000 was a bill for the weekend, a high estimate for every test that could be run to "diagnose" my baby. After speaking to my vet, I approved labs/bile test, ICU/IV therapy for the weekend, and the bill was adjusted to remove the tests that were not necessary right now, and came down to $1200. The bloodwork came back normal, the bile acid test has not been performed due to my baby's inability to eat/swallow. 730pm-My children (17,12,10) and I went to visit Toby. He was much more responsive than he was when I took him in his morning. He is still rigid, was wimpering and very upset that he could NOT sit up. He was also licking his lips (he mouth was quite tight and clenched). The nurse that took care of him all day, advised that she has seen worse recover, and tried to be positive. This is my update at of tonight. however, could you please tell me...What is a posturing thing and is it something reversible? Thank you....
