I want to thank everyone that has donated for Gucci's care and for all your prayers. Gucci is sleeping now, but she seems nervous and she is a bit woobly(sp?) when she tries to walk. She also vomited the charcoal when we got home. The vet told me that it was best if I would have bring her in yersterday and that he did all he could. He did the charcoal thing and gave her two injections. He also prescribed 1/2 Vitamin K tablet once a day for 30 days and she needs to go back in 3 weeks to do a PT test(clotting factor test). Im so nervous because when I left this morning she was playing and now she can't even walk straight. The vet said to keep her calm and check her poop and urine for any signs of bleeding. He is hoping that since she is young she will get better. But now all I can do is wait and pray for my little girl. I don't know If I can handle if we loose her. I keep checking on her every few mins. I dont know if I can sleep tonite. Im calling my reg vet tomorrow also.
There was another couple there that their french bull dog had also ingested rat poison today. Her prognosis is better than Gucci's cause she ingested some today and they took her in rite away.
Gucci's regular vet is in the Bergh Memorial Hosp in the ASPCA, but they closed at 4 on Sat and are closed on Sun. When I called them yesterday they recomended the AMC ER hosp, and they refuse to see Gucci. There are only 2 clinics that I know that are open 24 hours for ER, and both demand payment before treatment. This morning I was going to take her to the Humane Society cause a vet over the phone told me to try them. I called the Humane Society this morning to make sure they were open, and the first thing i was told was that they see pts by appts only. I told them it was an Emergency cause my baby had ingested a poison to what they told me thay dont treat that and refered me to the same clinic that denied Gucci treatment yesterday. I kept calling all vets that were open today until I found the vet that saw Gucci today, they are my angels.
Once again, Thank you for your prayers and donations. You all are my heroes and I dont even know how to pay you all back, but I will somehow. I will have you all in my prayers.
Xtine, Im so sorry that Cloey is sick and was also denied care. I will have you both in my prayers. I hope she gets better soon. PLease keep us posted. |
