Vet hospital called this morning and she's got lots wrong regarding her initial weight loss concern.
Her white blood cells are incresed and decreased (they're are 2 types apparently) so neither is normal, her red blood cells are ok, except some don't look normal - ones that the body has produced quickly, instead of normally - but she isn't anaemic.
She has high liver enzymes so liver disease of some sort - they are going to ultrasound her liver and possibly take a biopsy. But they don't want to put her under a general anaesthetic as if the liver is compromised it can be an issue. They may just take cells under sedation but have to check her clotting as haemoraging can happen.
Her back teeth are all over the place - some overgrown, spurs on them all I think and roots being pushed into the bone. No ulcers or abcesses though thank goodness. I think this will be a major issue as she will have to be seen every 4-6 weeks and if the spurs are there again she'd have to have anaesthetic each time. This really worries me, as I think deep doen this will compromise her future. I don't think I can put her through that so regularly.
She's on a drip and may be till Monday - she's currently recovering from deep sedation which takes longer than an anaesthetic. They had to do this to do bloods/x-rays/dental work. She's still asleep and won't be sitting up till tonight they said. They want to keep her in until Monday which is when they can do the ultrasound but if she needs another sedation it'll be Tuesday. They're going to call tomorrow morning again. We can take Munchkin in to join her but only if she's not on the drip as he'll snip it out! He's so lost at home without her, as are we.
Her breathing is very fast - it has been of late - they said because of the steroids for her dewlap wounding, it can compromise the respiratory system.
I've been crying as it all seems so negative right now. My poor poor baby girl. I can't help think why did we not take her sooner? I don't know if it'd make a difference. She was behaving/eating/drinking/peeing/pooing fine, except for getting skinnier.
Can anyone be honest with me and let me know what her likely future or not is to be. Anyone had buns with liver/teeth issues? I don't want her to suffer.
thank you
