Unfortunately animal control can't help me because even though I took him against doctors orders (couldn't pay). His instructions were give him the medicine he gave me, feed him every hour, and if he drastically changes take him to a vet ASAP. Currently he is stable. But since the breeder is technically following doctors orders animal control cannot force her to pay to take him today.
Joey has pulled through this far. If I took him in I wouldn't be much help right now tommorow morning he will be going to the vet and we will see what the vet decides to do from there. I believe in miracles if the parasite medication the doctor gave him pulls through then he might just get better. The doctor said it could be a parasite or a liver shunt but more tests would have to be run.
He said if it was a liver shunt they can't operate because he is too young/small so they would have to give him medication. He says even then there's a higher probability he wouldn't make it.
The ER vet told me yeaterday and it still repeats itself in my head: "I'm sorry but I think Joey wasn't made for this world". Miracles happen all the time so I'm still staying positive and hoping he pulls through. If the inevitable happens then I know I have you guys to guide me on what to do but until then I will not give up on Joey. |
