My fiancé just called me and told me they are keeping martini overnight and she has to be a minor surgery this afternoon to remove an abscess that's an allergic reaction from the vaccination. I am so upset,my baby is only 4 months old  she has also lost almost another half a pound since last week but the 2 vets don't seem to be concerned with that, they took her temperature and drew some blood but they said she is in no way looks malnourished , too thin or unhealthy in any way. They don't think it's her liver because she has no symptoms of anything other then that abscess. She literally just pooped before her appointment and hadn't eaten since and they think that is part of the reason and her not feeling 100% because of the reaction. Even though you would ever Beale to tell she doesn't feel 100%. They also said their puppy scale only goes in .25 incriments so ifshesbetween a half pound and 1.25 it can draw the reading to the lower end even if she weighs 1.49oz. Please pray for my baby I am so scared and I feel like my heart could break. |
Has Martini had this surgery yet? If not I strongly suggest a second opinion perhaps at a VET ER? Is this vet a specialist in small animal surgery? If this is an infected abcess I would be concerned about doing surgery so quickly. I would think the administering of antibiotics intravenously first would be considered before progressing to surgery. If the vet is saying that this is a fluid retained abcess to be drained thats another story...I'm confused at what exactly the vet is calling this? As far as BAT's/shunts testing etc., I wouldn't be concerned with that right now, this baby obviously presents with a reaction of some sort to vaccinations. I would want to know for sure exactly what it is and how it was determined before jumping in to surgical procedures.
I'm sorry your going through this and I'm so sorry Martini is ill, please keep us posted, prayer being said.
