Ask about the plasma as that does wonders in some situations. Hang in there once she gets back on track the liver will repair. What is going on with the kidneys are they ok?
I am so sorry you are going through this 
do you have www.carecredit.com ?
what are they feeding her? Maybe you could cook up some cod as it is highly digestible and try to feed her that as she needs low protein right now with liver being off so what they are trying to feed is important. |
I remain confused about this thing with Doxycycline. I have used that antibiotic many times and never had an issue. Now, I am NOT saying that there are no side effects with it....just am not sure about this link with the lepto vaccine reaction. I have looked for this information and found that Doxycycline is actually used for Lepto so I am SO confused.
I really would like more information if anyone has any.
As for blaming the vet, I highly doubt that is going to go anywhere; but I don't know. If the vet does really believe another vet was wrong to give Doxycycline, then perhaps that would work.
I would definitely look into Care Credit. Often the interest rate is zero...or at least very low. Depends upon the vet you use and whether they accept Care Credit or not....and if they do, what their terms are.
You also could let your vet know your circumstances and perhaps they can do a telephone consult with a specialist rather than you going there because, yes, they are costly.
