 Pixie update
Pixie has been suffering from a bad UTI and serious anxiety. I have been so worried about her continued anxiety over any loud noise or sometimes no reason at all.
She will run to me and shake when a plane goes over head or a motorcycle goes by etc. She doesn't always react but many times a day she does this. She usually settles down in a few minutes. If it's raining or storming she is a wreck for hours and hours.
When not anxious she lays around depressed looking. I use Xanax for bad storms and the vet prescribed Clomicalm for longer term use. Before I started her on it I wanted to make sure she did not have any other medical conditions.
I took her in today and had blood work, urinalysis and an Xray. Her urinalysis looked good, as did her Xray. They had to send her blood work out because their machine broke. She also has lost more weight. 2 weeks ago she was 3.9 lbs. Today she was 3.6. Her ideal weight is about 4 lbs. She is eating normally but I don't know if all the stress is taking it's toll.
So I am waiting to hear how her blood work comes out and then will start her on the Clomicalm.
Please keep her in your prayers and thoughts. It is heartbreaking to see her sad and scared all the time. I am praying the blood work looks good and the Clomicalm helps her relax and enjoying life again. Thanks |
