Have new techs at the vet office. They cannot give Seb fluids without him flipping out. Cost $65 for gas each time. I cannot afford that.
I will ask my mom tomorrow if she can help me do it at home. I know he will fight it. If this doesn't work, I don't know what else to do. Been crying all day thinking he may have to be put to sleep if I cannot think of another solution.
He really needs his fluids and vitamin B each week. His last blood panel was better - his liver is better. Nowhere out of the woods yet, but better. His regular vet said the prednisolone and fluids would be an ongoing thing.
The vet in the office today suggested a pill that would calm him. My concern is that the pill may not be good for his liver but I'm not sure. Not sure if the benefit outweighs the risk.
This be be a silly question but aren't vets and techs used to being bitten and scratched? I mean, isn't it like a job hazard? I have been bitten and scratched many, many times - it isn't that big a deal for me. All the techs I've known over the years act like the world is ending when it happens. Why would you work with animals then get upset when you get scratched or bitten?
Anyway, any ideas would be appreciated. Seb still plays with Galahad - never starts it but will wrestle with him. Still eats and drinks, poops and pees. Pees only where he shouldn't, though. Drinks too much when he doesn't get his fluids. Appetite is always good.
Thanks
