Great news and not so good news. The new vet totally rocked! A wise caring man who brought all the equipment in to the exam room to try to hydrate her. The needle went in ok, but as soon as he moved it she wailed, so that was it. He gave her 2 much needed meds, and examined her thoroughly twice! She had no temp, so thats good, but he told me both her kneecaps are blown out, and that she might indeed have some much more serious issues. We should know in 2 or 3 days at the most by how she reacts to the meds. At this point we can just hope Told me to forget all about the pepto: just not a good med for dogs in his opinion. Who knew? He also pointed out that she still has one of her baby canine teeth despite having the adult ones.
She had a pretty bad day in that she was lethargic and depressed. As I write this she is crashed out on the bed with me and I hope she will be feeling better tomorrow. I have some movies to watch and I will keep vigil so I can get her to the floor if she needs to go. She hasnt gone potty yet today, but has no problem piddling.
So, I will be back on to give updates, and thanks so much for al the input!
Goodnight! |
