I called, and the vet says she doesn't use tamiflu because it hasn't made a difference in their recovery rates. She said my pup (still nameless.. I didn't have time to decide on a name before she got sick) had had a few more diarrhea episodes, but no more vomiting yet, and she seems to be in good spirits. She slowly wobbles to the front of the cage to see what's going on when the vet techs walk past.
She is on iv fluids to combat dehydration, and she is being given some anti nausea meds, dewormer, and antibiotics to prevent secondary infections. They're going to check her blood sugar later since she is so tiny and hasn't eaten. She is only 26 ounces, so she really doesn't have resources to tap into. I'm worried that she will be reduced to skin and bones soon. |
