 Little Bit Update
Hello YT family
I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you all, I have strep throat and possibly an abscess so generally feeling lousy. I am happy to say that LBit has been doing so well and has only had one episode in a few days and it wasn't as severe. Still scary though. Her neck was swollen and I could feel her shivering in just that area. I rubbed her neck and it lasted around 15-20 minutes. My vet thinks she is having muscle spasms and wants to continue with prednisone, muscle relaxers and pepcid. He seemed pleased that her episodes were a lot fewer now. I am hoping she is healing. I know this sounds like I am being a cheapskate, and I will take out a loan or make payment arrangements if they do that but we have already spent what I had in savings so I am hoping I don't have to go to a specialist. I told my vet I would bring her back Friday unless of course she started having more episodes again. I am still hoping and praying that she is healing. Oh and I also started her back on apoquel because all of the itching came right back. I just hope that is the right decision and that its not what's causing all this. Do you guys think its possible that her neck can heal or am I just fooling myself? I do worry most about it affecting her breathing although it has gotten a lot better during her episodes. I hope that everyone is not mad because I did not insist on going on to a specialist- I was just so releaved that the doctor seemed so releaved and I keep second guessing myself now. Thanks for all your support!! |
