she was diagnosed w encephalitis three weeks ago. tested positive for RMSF last Friday but they started her on antibiotics a day before the test results came back. she's got a follow up appt w neurologist and ophthalmologist Friday. just when I thought I saw some improvement yesterday...this morning she was constantly shaking (which is probably the most unnerving part) and staring w eyes wide open. following me w her eyes only not moving her head. for two hours. I woke up to find her that way. I don't know if I can wait until Friday. I'm tempted to take her to another highly rated animal hospital but they'll want to do another MRI, spinal tap, blood work, etc. she's only 4 lbs and I don't know how she'll fare. only positive note is that she has maintained a healthy appetite. but the constant shaking is killing me. |
