I did not go to her house, I know, rookie mistake. I didn't think anything of it being as though I would not want a stranger coming to my house. hindsight is 2020. I just spoke with the vet he said the puppies glucose was so low it was a wonder he was able to hold his head up. I had given him nutri-cal a few times this morning prior to going in and it was still that low. he was able to get a little bit of blood that he says has some indicators that the puppy could have a liver shunt. he says its not diagnostic due to the poor nutrition state he's in right now. if he in fact has a liver shunt the revolution for the fleas and ear mites would have triggered a bad reaction. he's going to begin the tube feeding and we will see if he is able to keep it down. If that is successful he's going to try a low dose steroid to counteract any damage from the revolution. I'm glad we finally have a little bit of direction. its been a stressful week for all of us.I have wanted a Yorkie of some kind for quite a while. if he doesn't end up making it I may be too scared to try again because of how delicate their little bodies are.wish us luck! |
