My dear 7 yo Robin has a probable diagnosis of Hepatic Lipidosis. Vet understands that I cannot afford to run all the tests to positively diagnose her, and has urged me to treat her at home, which I am attempting.
She is on Recovery formula, High Cal and an antibiotic. Its been 2.5 days of treatment now, however she was undiagnosed for a long time. She is severely jaundiced, lost a lot of weight and is weak.
This afternoon after I fed her (syringe feedings), she vomitted it up, so I decided to wait till later. However, when she walked away from me, she staggered real badly and her legs collapsed under her. I am terrified that I waited too long to take her to the Vet and may lose her anyway. Prior to this collapse, I had noticed her legs were weak and slightly wobbly, but this was the first time she fell.
I feel like such a bad mommy for not taking her in sooner, but there was no money, and sadly now there is no money to take her in again.
Has anyone else experienced this illness who could offer advice or support???
