Artie has been so sick since his endoscopic biopsy. I did not post because my computer crashed.
The anesthesia has taken so much out of him. It takes him 2 days to bounce back from it..but he eats a bit..
With this, He is only eating about 2 teaspoons a day of food....
I did call the IMvet late yesterday afternoon..spoke thru a vet tech. She said it was a tuff procedure for him. She suggested bland food, to boil hamburger or chicken and rice. Artie will never eat it, but I did it last night. I took frozen thighs out and boiled it. The IMVet also suggested Cerenia pills. It was too late and I was too exhausted to drive up there for it..
As it was, I got stopped by a cop in a speed trap the other day, in a town I am not familiar with--trying to get around the rush hour traffic.....
I asked it I could give him an extra dose of pepcid. She said, sure, but if not better today than get the Cerenia.
I tried everything, baby food, fancy feast, tuna with sardines, the boiled chicken with my broth, and dry prescription food....nothing--just a bit of kibble...
I called and asked for it this morning. After an hour, I called my Vet. She had a copy of the surgical report--biopsy results not back yet.
She said that the surgery took a lot out of him. She said he has a lot of disease. She said that I could take him in for fluid hydration and a shot of certain. It would be easier than trying to pill him today.
She said she will give me some pills for the week-end.
I am taking him in at 2:30 pm.
An our after I made the arrangements for this, I got a call from the Hospital saying they had the script ready for me to pick up. I just said, thanks....
I mean, thank God that our reg Vet is close by..
I would rather take him to see my Vet than have to take him to the Emergency Room.
But the ER Vet is always there, just in case.
I feel so bad, that I caused this to happen to him...I am kicking myself....If I did this to him...and he does not recover, I do not know what I would do...
I mean...I am trying to keep it together now...
If I knew this would be how the procedure effect Artie; I would never, ever have agreed to it.....
I did not think it would be this hard for him to handle...
I am so scared right now...
Time is not going by fast enough....I want him to get to the Vet soon...Now if possible...but I have to wait until the Vet can see him...
I will get there early..
I hope I can keep from crying in there.....I feel like he is dying....and I am making him suffer......He has been with me thru so much...
sorry guys.....not in a good frame of mind right now..maybe a shower will help.....
thanks for listening to me....
