I will check out that cartilagenous embolism, as well, just to be informed. I'll mention it to the vet. Thanks for that.
Having said all that, Cali had an episode a few hours ago...started panting, her stiff back legs were jumping (spasm-like) and her temperature was up. I laid her on my bed and blow-dried her on COOL to offer her some relief and that's when it happened.......she FINALLY peed! I was happy and sad at the same time. It was almost like she was having autonomic dysreflexia...a reaction that humans have when they have spinal cord injuries and have a full bladder or bowel. That's my next fear...her last bowel movement was Saturday evening. She hasn't had a lot to eat but she certainly should have pooped by now. Sorry so long winded.
All of you are a Godsend! Thank you! |
Ohhhh, this poor baby, I feel so helpless so I can only imagine your agony as well...Iwill be thinking of your Prissy and you, please keep us posted I am only going to think positive thoughts, as should you! I'm so glad your getting there tomorrow..
