On Sat. the vet said Samson could come home, that he had *really* picked up, that he alert and playful, rolling around on his back and more importantly, that he was eating on his own. My husband and I were both thrilled and happy.
Well about an hour or so later, after Samson had settled back in, I offered him the food the vet said he had been eating .... and ... nothing. Samson did not want it at all! He is still refusing to eat! He is only eating a little tuna juice, which the vet said was ok.
But I am angry
beyond words. The vet *assured* us he was eating on his own and he's not!
I found out she also works at the emergency clinic and I am heading out there now to find out what the heck is going on.
The worst part is that she is not the vet that originally treated Samson (there are 3 vets working at my regular clinic) and there seems to be some disagreement as to Samson's treatment. Because A) the 1st vet who treated him, said they would have to keep him at least over the week-end, and B) the 2nd vet had already decided Samson could come home on Sat. because this is what she told me when I spoke with her on Friday, during which time I told her that of course, I was thrilled if my baby could come home Sat., but that I would much prefer they kept him as long as was necessary to ensure that he had healed. So I can't help but wonder if she lied to me and why?!?!?!?!
I am *angry* and scared that all of the goodness he got from the vet's (IV fluids & injections of antibiotics) will go down the drain if he's not eating on his own.
I do have meds that I have to give him, which I've been doing. All I can say is thank God for pill guns!
But I am pissed off beyond words right now!
