Hi, everyone,
When I left for the vet this afternoon I was sure
today was Nyssa's last day. While at the vet I tried
hand feeding her again. She hadn't eaten on her own
in two days. She took what I offered, brightened
considerably, and attacked the food bowl. Our vet had
some things he wanted to try and we are not saying
goodbye just yet.
Our vet gave her injections of vetalog and thaimine to
try and boost her appetite. I also now have
torbugesic (sp?) for when she's in pain but the dosage
will be low and hopefully won't make her sleep more.
The vet agreed with my decision yesterday to drop her
pred dosage back to .27ml (1mg/ml concentration) twice
a day to stop the diarrhea. The black tarry stools
haven't happened since early this morning so hopefully
reducing the pred helped in that area. If she has
diarrhea again we will start her on diarsanyl at the
same dosage that has been helping Lady Ayeka.
Right now I am hoping that the changes in meds and
occasional pain killers can keep her happy. A seventh
birthday party was planned before things got worse.
Maybe there will still be something to celebrate.
All the best,
Caity and the super six
