The only injections she's had were the Cerenia. That's just this last week, not earlier in the month when she first became ill. The rash she has came on around the 11th of the month and has gotten alternately better and now worse.
I don't get her any inoculations (most are not needed in Alaska) and have been worried about her upcoming rabies in September. Guess we won't be doing that. (We're planning on moving out of state so I don't know how I'll get her on the plane without a certificate.)
Will deffo tell them to get some food in her first. Surprised they can't manage something IV, but that would be hard for us to administer so....
Thanks for the good luck wishes...I have a feeling we'll need them! 0_0
The metacam has not caused bloody diarrhea/vomit, the Medrol did. She had some stomach trouble after the metacam, if I remember correctly. I just know we were told not to give any more.
The sucralfate seemed to work at first (in fact every med she's had does, then goes south) but she would tremble and shake after a dose and you could hear her poor tummy gurgling away and her legs would jerk around like she was having cramps. After she went three days without pooping I feared it was all gathering somewhere it wasn't able to pass from.
I have not seen her in three days. I have no idea what her ears or pits look like today. When I took her in it seemed she had a rash that just didn't want to go. Plus she'd been up and down all night with racing heartbeat and hyperventilating...I was scared she would go into cardiac arrest. By the time we got to the vet that day, she was normal except for the rash and the not eating.
Something they've seen since she's been there must have convinced them she's got more going on.
I have Care Credit, so it's not like I can't pay for the treatment and hospital stays, but I think what worries me the most is whether they have a night nurse and if not, what happens if she reacts while everyone is gone? Or worse yet, doesn't make it at all and I never see her again.
It's just so hard. I wish I knew what happened so I could've prevented this. I know it's unlikely, but it doesn't stop me wishing.
