If someone local is picking her up, she really does need to go to a local vet (pref. one of the neuros or an internist) for immediate assessment as to the best course of action. There needs to be a plan in place as to how/if her pain can be managed during the long transport to Michigan. Can her neck be stabilized properly? Can pain be managed properly? Can she be given enough pain meds, despite her Liver Shunt (what can the liver clear?)?
Have you checked if Olga has a local outreach in your area, so Roriee doesn't have to go through a transport? Honestly, I don't think transporting this baby across country is a good idea *at all*. I'm so glad you are getting her help, but I think transporting her will hurt her more. |
Ann, you bring up such a good point here. Much care including stabilization and pain management is needed for a safe transport to not hurt her further. I hope this is being considered, as well as alternatives to a long transport. God forbid if they hurt her worse by a long transport.
