I thought I would update the thread with the outcome of Cookies X rays. A huge sigh of relief there were no visible tumours like Frankie had (That made me cry....again!!!) Infact she said it wasn't too bad at all. There is something, almost in the section between the heart and lungs, I can't remember what part that was. She could see it looks a little bit like inflammation, with tiny little dots?? There is nothing else abnormal she could see whatsoever. She said it could be her age, or something causing a bit of inflammation, so for now she is to have a week of Metacam to try and reduce that. She didn't want to put her on antibiotics, just Metacam and has to go back in a week or ASAP if she gets worse. Does anyone know what that could be?
Would you have pushed for antibiotics aswell as a just incase? I wish I had now. I also forgot to ask if she had a dose of the Metacam already and now it is too late as they have closed. If I gave her some now (she is now on 1ml of dog Metacam and weighs 2.8kg) is there any room to give her extra on that dose/weight? I mean, if the vet gave 1ml earlier, is there tolerance for any extra on that weight if she has dog Metacam?
They let me bring her home as they felt she would do better and they knew I could keep an eye on her (no one is at the surgery at night). She actually hadn't eaten a thing, totally refused. The vet nurse put her hay and kale into her carrier and brought her out to me and put her on the table. After a minute she wolfed down a piece of kale. Then the rest of it in the carrier on the way home. My scaredy bun Cookie, who absolutely HATES travel/vets seemed to wait until I was with her and she felt safe enough to eat Normally eating is the last thing on their mind when we go there!
She has to go back in the morning if she hasn't pooped for Metaclopromide I think. Which will be tricky as we both have work She has eaten a little bit, but seems to want to have a bit of extra TLC and is eating hay better if I hand feed it to her. She has passed a couple of bumbles and done two little wees, just I hope hand feeding her this hay helps.
To top it off this morning when I was packing up her bag, Lola suddenly had her gas tummy emergency thing too. So I had to save her from that at the same time, chasing her around and massaging her tummy. Honestly couldn't have been a worse time!! She is ok again now though.
