It's been a rough past few days. Lexi went back to the vet yesterday and they told me her days were numbered. I was sent home with an IV bag and needles to give her fluids. It's scary and she hates it. She's only 3.15lbs as of yesterday morning. They have her on Pepcid and gave me another med to coat her stomach yesterday. She is on Hill's K/D food but she doesn't really have an appetite. They told me to have a plan. We go back Thursday to see if the fluids have lowered her numbers. The vet said even if they're lower, the chances of her surviving much longer than a week or so isn't likely. My heart is breaking.
Lolly, my lab has fallen ill as well. She is vomiting and has no appetite. I took her to the vet yesterday afternoon and blood work looks good, no fever, no parasites, no pancreatitis. They sent me home with Flagyl and gave her a couple of injections for nausea. I have to wonder if Lolly is just stressed due to Lexi dying and Dexter's episode last week.
And I will post pictures as soon as I can. So much going on right now.
