I am so sorry for you and I will pray for you and your baby. I recently went through something very very similar...I went to an ER Vet late on a Friday after my baby had been vomiting and had diarrhea with low low bloodsugar. They rushed him in to get IV's and couldn't get his bloodsugar or temperature regulated. They told me I could pay around 2k for tests and for 24 hour care for one day or put him down. I couldn't put him to sleep knowing that he may pull through. They kept giving him his IV for a while and all of a sudden brought him in to me and he came right over to me and licked me all over. He was a very sick baby and gave me lots of worry and heartache. I was sooo glad I didn't say to put him to sleep, he is fine now and back home with me. I did however go through alot to get him here. I had to feed him (force) every 2 hours of the day...and I had to return him to the breeder where his mother was for 2 weeks and he is fine, but I still have to monitor everything he does. There is hope...I was in a similar position and my little guy pulled through with lots of prayers and lots of hope! I do know how tough the decision is to make, but if your baby has a problem that cannot be fixed with surgery or treatment, then you have to be the strong one...and make a decision. Did they doctors give you any options as far as treating this problem? I do not know alot about it so forgive me if this is a question that I should already know the answer to.
I will send lots of love and prayers to your little one. |
