Yes...my heart dog is sick and I don't know from what. I am scared and nervous. I took her to the vet 2 days in a row. They ran blood work..and everything is normal. No temperature,, heart rate good. As they were waiting for test results she was back there with them..dr said she is alert, her eyes look good,, she is strong,,, whatever. They can't get a scope down her ears as she won't let anyone near them...although they were swabbed and tested and nothing was there...although it could be inner ear. She does not have the symptoms of head tilting, walking in circles or falling to one side...so dr is not concerned that is what it is even though not ruling out the possibility. To sedate her is hard...they did that with her dental in Sept and she would not even sit down...they were laughing at that time. I swear they must have conked her over the head to get her out for the dental. She is sleeping a lot...she is sometimes trembly...and yet sometimes she is normal. She IS eating and drinking and has a good appitite...thank God for that. But now she is not even getting up from a laying position very good SOME of the times.
I took her in on Thursday because I'm sick of worrying. I took her in on Friday for bloodwork that I wished I would have had her done on Thursday. This is Saturday and still in the same position if not worse..because she loves being upstairs where one of her beds is..and she had trouble getting up here last night and this morning. Dr said next step is x-rays.. not sure of what. She wants her to take Rimadyl for a couple of days and even though I HATE the thought of it... I figured "yes... just to see if pain meds helps...especially since I was considering which aspirin to use during the week." I only gave her 2 Rimadyls so far,,,two nights in a row with her supper. It doesn't seem to make one bit of difference and to be honest...she didn't have trouble getting up until the night of her first Rimadyl. I can't give her more of them...
I asked the dr if she could have antibiotics for ears...just in case....she didn't want to do that. So if she is sick,,we are doing nothing for her. Today is Saturday..most vets closed early and are booked if I consider taking her to another. My sons wedding shower is at 4, I'm supposed to be making some food to take and here I am on the computer.
We need prayers....please.
