I'm awaiting the blood test results from the appointment with the specialist yesterday, that I'm hopeful I can get soon. (Yesterday they said 1-3 days). In the meantime, her vet is going to monitor her, and take her blood sugar level reading every 2 hours. I'm just so torn, I know that going to the vet stresses her out, and she would much rather be at home, warm, and sleeping. But I just couldn't chance it this morning, any kind of inclination I get that she isn't 100%, I take her to the vet. I was also worried about the medication she started yesterday (prednisone) - but the vet seemed to say the only real side effects are increased urination/eating - which I can definitely live with.
I just laid in bed last night bawling, staring at her peaceful sleeping little body. I just cannot imagine my life without her, and I just want her to be comfortable and happy. I have not eaten or really slept in 4 days, and cannot stop crying - I just feel like my whole world is slowly being taken away from me. Anything I've read online regarding adult dogs with hypoglycemia (recurring low blood sugar) is not positive. I'm just so worried... thank you all for caring so much, the support from you all is what is keeping me going.
Much love from Tinkerbell |
I am so sorry.....I do understand how hard it is to have a sick baby. Maybe the prednisone just has not started working for her yet. Try to think positive...I know it is hard but so far nothing horrible has shown up! I sometimes have to stop reading on the internet...it can really do a number on you.
I will say extra prayers for Tink...and also for you. Let us know how her day went.
