They called and told us what the bill was at that point and what the next 24 hours bill was going to be....they then told us what our options were - 1) continue to do what we were doing 2) put her "down" 3) take her home, which they called the "ultimate test", and get up every 2 hours around the clock and syringe feed her. I wanted her home with me, so they showed me how to syringe feed her without choking her (which was very scary at 2 in the morning!) and I got up for the next 5 nights every 2 hours, then the next 3 nights every 4 hours, the next 3every 6 hours and fed her. They suspected Liver Shunt but she was too small and too young to test. We had Lola tested in Feb. of this year and she did have a shunt. We flew to TN to have her shunt repaired and she is fine, healthy and strong today. I'm certainly not saying you should do this with your baby. Lola was NOT throwing up and did not have diarreah. It may be that your baby needs an IV to stay hydrated. Also, have you tried feeding Gerbers baby food - chicken (warmed)? That is what we fed Lola. I'm sending prayers your way....Good luck! |
How old was she when she was tested for LS and how was it diagnosed? The vomiting has stopped and the diareah has consistency now. which is a little better. He has Coccidia. and hoping that is the only problem. Vet said if liver comes back high then it is a good chance that he has LS. I am just hoping he can hold his glucose levels when i bring him home and syringe feed him.
