here's what he said to me...legally he has to recommend bloodwork and xrays. he felt her abdomen and didn't believe she was in much pain there. he gave the pain med to make her more comfortable after throwing up several times today and to relax her if there was discomfort. he also did the fluids just to be sure she had enough because she was a little bit dehydrated but not enough to do intraveinous.
she hasn't thrown up once or had diarrhea since i got home tonight. i can't say when her last vomit was because from 2pm-6:30pm she was by herself at home. I had no idea she'd been throwing up all day. i was under the impression by DH that it was only once or twice and a little diarrhea. if i'd know it was all day off and on she'd have been at the vets a lot sooner. that's why i took her as soon as i got home.
she's resting now, very lethargic and not able to lift her head but barely looks up at me with her eyes. i will let her rest and if one single vomit or diarrhea happens tonight we'll head back to NVEC. i work for the vet that owns it so i get discounts for some stuff. also it's in my home town and not far from the house.
any other advice for right now? |
