I have a very sad update. Seine was doing ok in the hospital, she was in the ICU since Monday but they said she was doing well with her feeding tube, and had kept down fluids and food. They did an abdominal ultrasound and more bloodwork and found that her liver disease was caused from pancreatitis, but the treatment was the same and she was doing ok. Eric and I went to visit her last night, and she looked alright, and her jaundice was improving, she was just unhappy at being somewhere other than home.
This morning I got a call from the vet that I should come right away, that Seine had taken a drastic turn for the worse and may be having organ failure. I came right away and called Eric, who left work. It was so sad to see her in such a state, she was covered in blankets and being given oxygen because her breathing was so labored. I guess she threw up and some of it got into her lungs...she seemed to be making progress last night and I couldn't believe how bad she looked this morning.
We had to make the decision to let her go. It was so hard. I have been crying all day, I honestly think this has been the longest day of my life. I can't believe that she's gone, she was only 4 years old. Eric and I are devastated. I have seen him cry today several times for the first time ever, and we have been together for 7 years. She was such a beloved pet and we will miss her forever.
I will make her a thread later, I just wanted to tell people who understand how I'm feeling.
