Ellie-Mae not doing well..off to whitecoats..

[carole]

Ok well we are back, the news is not great, but then it is not all bad either,Ellie has an enlarged liver it seems, it could be just an infection of the liver, in which case the antibiotic injection will clear that up, she will need another two injections two weeks apart, the not so good news it could be tumour,however for now we will see how this works,.

I am hoping it is only an infection, as i have made the decision Ellie will not be put through any more surgery, it was extremely hard on her the last two major surgeries and i am not prepared to go down that road again, i will let her go peacefully, if that is the case,however i am thinking positive and hoping it is just an infection, she has even picked up a bit since we came home.

Ellie was yet again the perfect patient, she never moves, honestly she just is so scared and trembles poor wee soul,but such a model patient even when the vet put the thermometer you know where, she never even moved, has a slight temperature too.

The good news because i got the pee sample, he did the dipstick tests which showed her kidneys are functioning well, so that is one good thing.

She is such a darling wee girl, and since her other surgery, has now got a much more gentle nature,obviously the pain was making her bad tempered, gosh i can relate to that one lol, but then most of us can from time to time.

here are some pics of my girl before we left for the vet, as always Ellie just poses in the most cute positions for my camera,she is my little cutie pie for sure. You can actually see in the pic how bad her fur looks, apparently the liver problem can indeed cause this as well, the main reason i thought it was thyroid because of her fur condition and she eats a lot some times but does not gain weight, she has lost weight unfortunately, only 3.1 kgs at the moment.
