Last night I felt completely helpless. Ben just lied there with his
little head flat on the floor and his 4 little paws gone out from
underneath him. I immediately grabbed the Karo syrup and baby food and
started to administer. He ate it and I waited for it to kick in, but no
response. Now I am on the phone with his vet, we go through the routine;
what I have done; reviewed meds, gum color good, etc. Decision give him
his next does of pred now and change his does to BID. I waited and still
no response.... I hold him and keep him covered and notice that his body
temerature is dropping. Quickly I call Dr.K back. He is covered up more
and a hot water bottle to sleep with.
Now the worst part, the waiting. I feel so helpless in situations like
this. It's 4am as I right this so it will be a while before I can speak
with Dr. K. He has a little more perk in him, but also has some black
tarry stools.
Ben has insolinomia, had a double adrenalectomy and now has Addison's
disease. Despite it all he has been doing great. So now I wait .
Please keep Ben in your prayers.
PS. Did I mention that Rosie just had a Pancrectomy? She is recovering
well-slow, but well.
Thanks everyone I just need to speak with some people that I knew would
understand.
Lisa & her 24 paws
