For those of you who Expressed an Interest in our Little Lady's plight,here
is the Latest Update.
The first vet we had taken her to,for 2 wks. Gave - up on her last
Wednesday When I notified them that she was vomitting up her duck soup
after she was prescribed Albon for having a protazoic worm egg in her
stools. They asked if there were a Different Vet we could take her to.
Fortunately there was One other we had heard about.
An Appointment was made,she was taken on Thurday night 8:15 P.M. At this
time the New vet,Dr. Melissa Soong checked her weight,she is Down to 1 lp!
With Duck Soup Feedings Daily!
She took a stool sample and Retested for Coccidea(Sp),she found Nothing!
Her ears were checked & tested for any parsites. She found Ear mites.
She carefully examined the red spots on Laduy Gretta's skin,wich I have
been describing as A very Bad case of hives,she called them Lesions,but
their Not the type associated with the More common Adrenal symptoms.
Dr. Melissa said she felt a small lump in her abdomen wich might possibly
be a blockage,or an Unusual type of adrenal problem. She told us what the
body part was,but we can't remember Exactly what she said.
For now,it has been decided that if the lump is a blockage,it isn't a Full
blockage because she going Regularly,& once she was Taken off all meds her
stools Gradually Returned to Normal.
For the time being she is being treated for the Obvious Problems. She is
getting Tresaderm 2-3 drops twice daily,& pet tinic with 3 - 10mls of
pepcid AC twice daily. And once Every 2 wks Ivermectin 0.02 ccs. If this
Doesn't work to Correct the problems,abdominal x-rays will be taken,& then
an Exploratory Surgery.
We are Hoping the current Treatment is Effective!
Although so,far, she Isn't scratching /chewing as much,but she still Isn't
eating,or playing!
Karen,Mom Terry,& the Mass Wrecking Crew
