They gave her atropine (not sure of the spelling) to help raise her heart rate, so we'll be checking when it wears off in a few more hours. If she can keep her heart rate up, then the vet says that she'll be fine. If not, then we have instructions to take her into the ER vet. He left instructions with them just in case.
So, we're holding her a lot and offering lots of water. Hypoglycemia has never been an issue for this little girl, so the not eating doesn't worry me. Plus, I think the IV had some nutrients in it. Is that right?
Thanks everyone! We are doing a big cleaning and searching of the house this weekend to try to figure out what happened. In the meantime, we're limiting her movements and watching her. |
Oh Judy! I just read this!! I am so glad to hear she is doing better...How scary!! do you think she may have eaten a mushroom out side? I know they can be very poisonous. I also take high blood pressure meds and hubby is on several depression/anxiety meds...I worry all the time that one will fall on the floor... I tell him, and do my self, take them over the sink so if one falls it won't go on the floor...hope you can figure out what she got into.,.
