Our vet told us when Geoff rushed in Friday evening that it was more than likely the medicine and that it would have to run its course and we could only hope for the best and that they would go back to being strong again. She told us the best that she could do was to give the sub-q fluids and glucose...she told us basicially she would give us support and just wait it out and see what the aftermath would be. Luckily, they are getting stronger and trying to get back to their spunky selves. I am super thankful for this vet!! We were able to keep them alive because she gave those fluids on Friday and then again when we took all three and Livi on Saturday morning. I am lucky that these babies did start off so chubby and healthy!!
Lets just hope that Livi's milk continues to come in. Since we couldn't let them nurse until the vet felt that the pill was out of her system, things have kind of gone haywire (plus, Livi was VERY stressed during all of this so I am sure that did not help). I just finished a feeding so I am headed to bed for a few hours. Maybe when I get up for the next one, Livi will be nursing them with a belly full of milk and doesn't need me to use the dropper. (Fingers crossed!) |
You do deserve all the credit you are given. It is hard to question what a vet tells you to do and in the middle of all of this you went to a differnt vet and it is looking like things are starting to get back on track. The reason things are getting better is because you are very observant and you have done everything you possible can. you deserve a pat on the back
