I took her for the blood test Monday because for the past week she had been very mushy, shaking (as if she was cold) her abdomen was swollen and not eating like she had been...So he ran a blood panel and said she was anemic and her abdomen was not swollen...He gave her amoxicillin and hi vite drops and we left...Well I wasn't happy with that, so I wanted a 2nd opinion because at this point I was scared, esp. about her abdomen...
Well Dr. Appell today said she has about 3-4 cups of liquid in her abdomen and he will slowly extract it as she is there...I am so very angry at my old vet for this...How do u not show signs of liver damage/disease/failure in blood work...Or at least do an x-ray on her...
So I am praying my girl recovers, Dr. Appell said he is worried about her and her condition right now is guarded...
:( I am totally devastated and have been crying all afternoon over this...She is still a baby :( | Sam, this is an EXCELLENT office! I've gone there MANY times (even recently when a groomer sliced off a chunk of poor Tia's ear and she had to have immediate surgery). They arew wonderful and the staff is so loving to the pets!!
I am not doing anything today. Jim is working a half day and all I have to do is my laundry and them go to Pet Delight to get some dog treats. But other then that I'm free. If you need anything or just want some company, CALL ME. I'm going to PM you. Don't worry babe, Sammy girl will pull through.
GET WELL SAMMY!! Come home ... the weather is beautiful and it's a perfect day for a walk down on the board Wwlk at Brighton Beach!! |
