So, I took Belle back to the vet today to recheck her liver values. They are still as high as they were last week. She is not optimistic, she said she needs to call the vet university and will talk to me when they guide her. I am so scared they are going to say its not reversible. I am trying to stay optimistic.
Thanks for the update! Keeping good thoughts she continues to improve!!
Poor thing. Thanks for the update and hoping she will recover and be able to go home.
If they have the big plastic cone on her, ask if they have the inflatable soft collars. Sometimes those are more comfortable, esp for the small dogs.
I hung out at the vets office with Belle today. She was able to eat but got sick on the stomach at some point before I arrived so they gave her something to ease the nausea. Her red blood count stabilized, but her liver values increased. The vet said not enough for her to be worried as it could just be from the body healing itself. Her eyes and skin do not look as yellow as it was yesterday which is great. She is finally alert enough to realize her stomach has been cut open so they had to put an e-collar on her to stop her from going after her incision. I am just praying and hoping that she makes it through and is not suffering.
I have never personally dealt with this but was reading up some on it. Hope Ghilly or ginger might see this.
From what I have read, all the right things are being done. Yes, you have to watch for organ failure so hoping her liver tests will improve.
You must be exhausted. Good luck and please come back to update.
So, I transported Belle from urgent care to her regular vet this morning. For her vet to inform me that although the urgent care addressed the toxicity and anemia- Belle is actually in liver failure right now. She doesn't want to overstress her so she hooked her up to an iv all day and I brought the extra blood from the urgent care to them. She did not need another transfusion today since her status has not changed. I am trying to be optimistic and say because the body is healing and about to improve. I stayed with her dor about an hour and actually was able to get her to eat a little. Her urine is still really dark but as I type this I hope and pray it gets lighter and her liver works everything out. The vet will redraw labs in the morning andI will stop in tomorrow as well to help encourage her to get better but not to overwhelm her too much so she can rest and hopefully come home. Thanks for listening.
