I would really have her seen asap, seems I can't stress this enough. The blindness also comes from the toxicity. If she's not seen soon, her organs may start to shut down.... |
She just had her anals express at her annual checkup about two weeks ago. I really think the emergency vet was wrong about the blindess. I took her outside for walk and she can see in at least one eye. She may only can see partially out of her right eye. Most of her symptoms have subsided. She is not pacing back and forth any longer or drooling. She actually has perked up a little bit. I didn't give her any of her medication. I am really beginning to believe she had a reaction to the antibiotic.
The reason I am skeptical about the emergency vet is because he basically only took her vital signs which he said were good. He did no other testing and I don't think he even took into consideration the meds she had just started. She does have another appointment with a specialist tommorrow. I will monitored her behavior. If she starts to exhibit the same behavior, I will take her to a different emergency hospital.
The cost so far for everything is approaching 1100.00. This is including her annual visit, follow up visits, her eye treatments, her uti meds as well as blood, stool and urinalysis and meds for her right eye. Her appointment tommorrow is 210.00 which doesn't include any additional testing and her emergency visit last night was 182.00. All of this in two weeks.
I am aware of seriousness of her health issues. That is is why I left work early and will be working from home tommorrow up until it's time for her appointment. Her appointment is at 3:00pm. I am monitoring her behavior and can respond quickly if anything starts to go wrong again. I don't want to seem like money is an issue but if I can avoid paying for the same thing twice, I rather wait to go see the specialist.
