The vet said that she's still "in pretty good shape" over all, considering she's been sick. She's not dehydrated, and is still strong enough to walk around and stuff. There's no obvious reason that she should be sick...no fever, her abdomen is soft, her eyes are clear and bright, and her nose is wet and cold. Her incision site is pretty much healed already and looks great. Just the vomiting and diarrhea. The vet seems to think that she just has a really sensitive digestive system, and that any stressful situation can have this effect on her. (She got really sick when we got her last year, pretty much the same symptoms, but only worse, she wound up in the hospital) So the vet gave her a shot of Cerenia to help with the nausea, and I'm to give her 1 pill of that every day for the next 4 days. He also gave her an antibiotic. I'm to wait a couple of hours for the shot to be really effective, then give her some Pedialyte.
If this doesn't help in a couple of days, I'm to call them back. |
