I agree with jilly. She needs a specialist. A general practice vet is just not prepared to handle this kind of injury and really does not have a good handle on what he is dealing with. A specialist can do the tests needed to give you an accurate diagnosis of what is going on in your baby's head. If she has a big clot on the brain you need to know.You don't want to put her down if she has a chance of recovery and yet you don't want to prolong her suffering if the damage cannot be repaired.
He is sending you home with her because he does not have the ability to give her the around the clock personal care she needs. Holding her close and giving her comfort at this time is just as important as any nutrition and fluids you give her.
I know a specialist sounds like a big expense but using a credit card or borrowing the money may very well be worth it to you. At least you will have the definite diagnosis you need as well as the expert care.
Will continue to pray for you and your little sweetie. |
