AMPS 89 - 3 drops in syringe :shock:
Shadow seems fine although I slept in the real bed last night, hoping she would too but she just went back to laying on the bath mat again.
:sad: I know she can jump when she wants to so I just have to figure out how to get her to want to be beside me in our real bed again.
I did have a moment of anxiety at 3 am when I realized I had been asleep so soundly for 3 1/2 hours and wasn't aware of where she was
and jumped up and hunted for her. ( bath mat ) Today daughter should get released sometime. I need to work 4 hours too , skipped
yesterday obviously. And I have a vet appointment for Shadow and eskie dog, Luna today but I guess I'll cancel that. Just well checks.
Yesterday's events on daughter:
Thank you everyone for all the hugs and prayers and vines and worrying over us. I very very much appreciate it.
She is doing better. They added 3 separate bags of iv's yesterday so she's rehydrated. She stopped throwing
up and they gave her antinausea to counter any more of it. They would not let her eat or drink anything until 7pm last night
giving her some sprite and she kept it down, and then broth and jello. The tylenol they've given wasn' stopping the fever
so they gave her motrin. I haven'theard yet if it worked.
They do not feel it is related to the ulcer issue. Just a bad coincidence to have another digestion type problem, probably the "suspect
ulcer" made her more vulnerable to bacteria.
They think it might be salmonella or e.coli but there are 4 other possibilities too.
She does eat spinach often and that has a higher probability of carrying things like that. She did eat at subway on sunday afternoon
and had spinach on her sandwich.
I got home within 5 minutes of shadow' shot time last night and had to feed all the other critters too.
They kept her overnight and will re-run all the labs tomorrow before releasing her, if everything continues progressing forward.
My DH stayed with her last night. He'd rather do that than cat duty. He hasn't tested Shadow yet or given her a shot although he
has given me shots in the past. Shadow can be a lot more aggressive towards everyone else.
The reason for the suspect ulcer is she had her wisdom teeth out end of May. She got thru the first night and then started throwing up
the second day.... possible reaction to the oxycodone ( too high a dose) and /or the antibiotics. She's always been stomach sensitive.
She threw up so much that she got dehydrated and wouldn't eat any of the few things that you can have after teeth removal.
We had to take her to the ER then too to get iv rehydration and antinausea. And she had a slow recovery, dry sockets and has been
on again, off again been dealing with stomach issues ever since.
My theory is a trauma ulcer from all that initial throwing up after the oxycodone but for some reason, she isn't healing completely.
They have had her on prilosec for over a month so that's why we have been waiting to see a gi specialist for pediatrics.
In New Mexico, regular gastroenterologists won't see anyone under the age of 18 ( i don't know why ?) . There are only 3 pediatric
gi drs in New Mexico.
She is scheduled for a endoscopy on Nov 2.
