Back from the vets, but it's only a quick update as we need to go do yet another veggie run.
Clara had a good long listen and can still hear gut sounds, but they're less frequent than yesterday. She can't
feel an impaction or blockage, which would make sense with some poos (although small ones) being produced?
She can only think at the moment that there may be some kind of infection internally that we can't see, although the external wound looks and feels great and is healing well. She's started her on injections of Baytril, and gave her a shot of metaclopromide as well (don't hurt me!). Honestly, I am willing to try anything at this point! I just don't understand why she wont eat
She wants to see her back at 9am tomorrow, and if she's not looking better by then, they might have to consider hospitilisation, and either an ultrasound or an x-ray to see what might be going on. But she wants to try and avoid an aneasthetic if at all possible, for obvious reasons.
She took a looooong drink of water when she got home, which is the first time I think I've seen her drink on her own for a while, so that's a good sign. We're going to try syringing her all sorts tonight and tempting her with all sorts of foods.
I really, really, don't want her to go into hospital. I wont be able to sleep at night if she isn't in the room asking for nose rubs, flopping out and jumping around :cry1: I cried all over her earlier like she was a giant tissue and told her she had to get better because I couldn't make do without her. She gave me lots of kisses as if she was saying 'I'm trying mum' She HAS to get better! Has to...
Anyone ever had any luck juicing herbs or anything like that and syringing them? Wondering if it might be better for her than the baby food. Along with the critical care of course....
Any suggestions very welcome! :nerves1
