 Mallie got to come home!
Both the vets we are working with cleared Mallie to come home. We picked her up a couple hours ago. They said her case of pneumonia was pretty mild, so we were fortunate to have caught it as early as we did or it could have been way worse.
Mallie seems to have her spunk back. She's devouring the prescription wet food the vet gave us. She's running around and playing with Roman too. Her catheter is still in, just in case she would have to go back to medvet tonight, so her leg is all wrapped up. She's trying to chew on it so the vet let us take home an e collar just in case.
Tonight it a big test as to how well her treatment is progressing. She's sleeping downstairs on the couch with my dad and he's a light sleeper so he'll be up atleast a few times to check on her. I am setting my alarm every 2 hours to get up and check her out and feed her a little food. We're just giving her a little bit of the food at a time and so far she's eating it quickly. She will need to be reevaluated by my vet tomorrow...so we're keeping our fingers crossed that all goes well. Also, we will get her blood tests back sometime tomorrow. So hopefully that looks good too. Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers! |
