First of all… Thank you to EVERYONE for the overwhelming number of replies and PMs. Your support and prayers mean a lot to us and little Phoebe!
Chattiesmom… Phoebe’s NapSak is the little piece of home that is with her right now (as she is STILL at the Vet’s office). The vet says, “She LOVES that thing”. Thanks for everything ;o)
Patti & Lillymae… Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately “Albon” (for Coccidia) is unavailable via IV. However, I’ll have to keep Cesar’s in mind in case she continues to not eat.
Lioncross4, chestermama, Sweet Apple, ladyjane, jnlellison, Mom to Hot Rod, Micah my love, ARCHIE, mylittlegirls, YorkieMom6, JeanieK… Thank you for ALL of your kindness and prayers. We’re sure little Phoebe is doing better because of it.
WV~Yorkies… To answer your question: Phoebe will be 14 weeks old on Friday (12/04/09).
Dwerten… Thank you for the link. Our vet did in fact conduct both pre and post bile acid tests and thankfully, they came back with “Normal” results. The test was sent out and NOT conducted in-house. He was watching her blood glucose closely to prevent another hypoglycemic attack (from her not eating/lack of interest in food). The vet suspects that her Coccidia infection is coexisting with some other more serious bacterial infection – hence the “Shift to the Left” with her white blood cells (WBCs). His tech discovered a trace amount of green discharge from her eye leading him to believe she may have a respiratory infection. After 2-3 days of antibiotics, she’s doing somewhat better.
Cerise… We appreciate your concern and taking the time to look up all the information on Coccidia. Your contributions to YorkieTalk REALLY DO mean a lot! |
