Miko, fat or sick?

Oh I hope the vet can do something to help comfort him soon.

Can they aspirate the fluid that is built up to help releive some dis-comfort?

That will be one question that I ask when she calls me. When I left this morning I planted a big kiss on his tummy so I hope that made him feel a bit better.

The vet has booked Miko for exploratory surgery tomorrow morning. I am to drop him off at 7:30 am. Fingers crossed that this will be a good thing. I fear I may lose my sweet, white boy tomorrow.

I will be thinking of you and Miko tomorrow, hang in there little fellow.

The vet hopes to be able to drain the fluid and find the source of the bleeding. Because without stopping the bleeding he will just fill up again. I'll be heading home in an hour, I hope he's had a good day. I'll be loving him up lots tonight, just in case it is our last night.

Oh boy. Miko is going downhill. He's now looking like a really sick little guy. He's got no energy. When I pick him up and hold him he's sort of limp. He's going down fast. I'm off to the emergency clinic.

**Queen of Poop** · 01-03-2006, 09:43 PM

I'm back from emergency. They kept Miko. They will try to keep him stable tonight so I can get him to his surgery appointment tomorrow. I'm so very afraid that he is going to die.

**sandragonfly** · 01-03-2006, 10:51 PM

posting again... I know, I hope you don't mind! but I sure hope he'll make another night through for you.

((((more)))) and thoughts be with you both. . .please let us know the minute you hear from miko, I'm anxiously waiting..

Miko made it thru the night well and I took him this morning to his ferret vet for surgery. He was a bit perkier after having fluids all night. The vet called an hour ago asking if he could do an xray. He said he suspects an enlarged heart. Surgery is scheduled for later this morning. His brother Sebastian had a long lonely night last night and was pretty cranky with me this morning that his bro was still not home.

**lv4dogs** · 01-04-2006, 01:20 PM

Oh no, I just read this. Yous are in my htoughts still, more than you know. I hope he makes it & they find something that is treatable.

I wish yous the very best of luck.

Hang in there Miko, you can do it sweet guy.

**Queen of Poop** · 01-04-2006, 02:53 PM

No surgery now. But meds for an enlarged heart and diuretic to help rid his body of the fluid are coming. I'm going to pick him up in 2 hours, will update with more details when we get home.

**My Peanuts** · 01-04-2006, 03:24 PM

I'm so sorry about Milo. Prayers are on the way and please keep us updated as you have been. Hang in there Milo!

**dab_20** · 01-04-2006, 06:43 PM
