Penny is sick... (Updated 30th October - Page 3)

[cloverfdx]

Updated for those that are interested....

Penny's test results still have not come back , we will know in the morning. She had a bit of a rollercoaster ride today, blood taken in the morning..then she came home for a while and went for a small drive.. when we got back home her hind legs collapsed and she was unable to walk.. so we rushed back to the vets and by the time we got there she was able to walk again (Little bugger).

The vet then took more blood and did a quick test which showed nothing, and then he came to the conclusion it was low blood sugar from not eating much in the past week (She has gone from 4.9KG last month to 4.4KGs now). So we are getting her to eat what ever we can, including roast chicken and baby food.. she did eat quite well this evening.

*Sigh* I just want to know what is wrong with her... it is heartbreaking not knowing what is going to happen . I just want her to be well again.


Found this photo taken just a couple of months back on holiday.. she had a blast staying by the beach for 10 or so days. The beach is her favourite place ever.

Poor baby! My sons friend has a daschund they woke up one morning to find him sitting in a pool of blood they rushed him to the vet. It turned out he had diabetes. He is doing great now though. I sure hope you get some answers soon on Penny. You both are in my thoughts. (((Hugs)))

Thankyou for all the lovely thoughts and prayers everyone {{Hugs}}, they mean so much to us.

Update for today (28th of July).....

Test results came back today and Penny's white blood cell count is pretty high, the vets think she is trying to figh an infection. Our poor little dog has lost some movement in her hind left leg aswell, which is a big worry.

Penny has been going in for anti biotic shots the last couple of days, but if there is no improvement by tomorrow they are going to keep her in overnight for IV fluids and more tests .

Xrays and ultrasounds are going to be requested tomorrow if she does not pick up.

Thankyou all once again for the support.

Rhi,

She has gone down hill again .. anti biotics and anti inflamatorys are not working and she has stopped eating again. Penny gets to stay at the vets Wednesday for x rays and ultrsounds.. i am dreading what they will find.. but know in my heart what it is .

Good thoughts would be appreciated thankyou & thankyou for all the good thoughts, prayers and hugs previously they mean so much to us.
