Thank you to everyone who emailed with suggestions and ideas, I took something from each one and used it. Well here is briefly what has happened since I first posted, Monday night I took Peanut to a different vet, who did x-rays. He found what he thought was a blockage or a swollen lymph gland. We discussed surgery and he didn't feel she was strong enough to survive. So I had to decide whether to try, euthanize, or just bring her home. I discussed with my friend who was with me and decided to put her down. When the vet came back in, I changed my mind and decided to bring her home so everyone could say good-bye (my kids were upset back in May when they didn't get to say good bye to Sadie, but anyways) and help her to pass over the bridge here. They gave her some sub-q and off we went towards home. Tuesday morning there was no change in her condition and I decided just to keep her hydrated and laxed until that night. Well about 4 pm after a day of misery, she passed a pencil eraser sized rubbery item. I was so excited, I called everyone. Immediately she changed, she was walking around and started eating duck soup off of a spoon. I gave her the flagyl which was not fun at all, wow what a fight, and put her in her cage. Two days before I had placed some hard kibble in there and had forgotten about it and to my surprise Peanut started eating it. She has pooped numerous times, but she still doesn't drink, so I started moistening kibble with water for her, it scares me her eating the hard stuff so soon after being sick for so long. I know eventually she will have to but she is just goig to have to humor me for a few days and eat the moistened stuff. I am still going to hand feed her some liquids so she doesn't dehydrate again, until I see her drink on her own. She does have some nasty diahrea but that could be from all the lax I started feeding her on Sunday night. So it is still touchy but I am so happy she passed that little bugger. Thank you to everyone who emailed and who read my post. Keep Peanut in your thoughts, I have a feeling everything will be fine but just in case. Oh and a special Thank you to Julie without you I would have been lost. And to Sadie, my first furbaby who is at the bridge, thank you for watching out for Peanut like I had asked you to do when she got sick. You truly are her guardian angel.
