quark Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hugs Nan. I would be so sad if one of mine was sick too. Is there a possibility she might recover? Thinking of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nan in Mass Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 She is old. She spent the morning alternating sleeping with panting and shivering. She has been drinking but I can't get her to eat. When I took her to the vet's yesterday because she was weak and not eating, they did blood work, which came back with elevated liver enzymes. We go again later today. It might be something she ate at Sunday's graduation party or a tick byte I missed, or it might be the end. If it is the end, oldest, wants to know so he can fly home. He and the dog rescued each other all those years ago. I am hoping I don't mess that up, on top of everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nan in Mass Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Thank you everyone. It is her gall bladder. They sent us home with 5 kinds of medication and said she will probably be ok when the inflammation goes down as long as the stones aren't blocking any ducts. So we are waiting on that. Could be bad but not cancer at least. And she is drinking. Still won't eat but drinking is good. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things considered, it's better than I was worried it would be, because I was worried that it might be cancer, too. I hope the medications work! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nan in Mass Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 She's better!!! Gobbling down chicken and drinking lots. She is terribly gaunt and doesn't want to go up or down any stairs and sleeps a lot (probably the pain med) but she is feeling well enough to make giving her her pills hard. : ) She has to be on antibiotics for a month for an inflamed gall bladder, so we are going to have to come to some agreement about this. I am sooo relieved! No blocked ducts. Nothing wrong with her liver. Phew! Nan 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
