I need support. My darling Cassie is a 17 wk old Golden Pup who has been fighting for her little life for more than 48 hrs now.
In brief, she had bad diarrhoea Tues. Wed am sick and diarrhoea- and incontinent. To vet and taken straight in to go on drip. Her temperature had dropped and veins collapsing so couldn't get drip in. Fluids given under skin.
Summoned to vets at 6pm. Told she was v ill, her tummy was v swollen only hope was xray and surgery. I was in shock - she was virtually unresponsive. Xray was obscured by fluids but showed intestines in wrong place. Immediate surgery to try to determine what is wrong. No ruptures, blockages, etc. but peritonitis and v angry purple intestines- and pancreas. Vet drained her and rinsed her - with antibiotics. Didnt expect her to survive the night. She did.
Yesterday there was marginal improvement. Survived last night. But needed to be opened up again lunchtime today as abdomen filling up again. Didnt expect her to survive surgery. She did. Intestines looking better but they just do not know what is causing this. Worse still - and critically- her bowels are not working. A snall muscle (?) has solidified from the infection preventing anything moving ftom tum to bowel....if her bowel doesnt start working again - only option is Euthanasia.
I've visited twice today. She focused on me today and lifted her head too - but in pain and she looks so sad and tired. Another night.... my heart is breaking.
