Can you believe it *facepalm*. As if the RHD2 wasn't enough to deal with! Poor Delilah, mum of the little ones who were born here in April and who came down with the RHD2 has now succumbed to myxo She was vaccinated at the end of May but obviously didn't develop a decent immune response to it. She came down with it last Wednesday so we've spent the past week backwards and forwards to various
She's got symptoms of both classic and nodular myxo so hopefully this means that she did at least have *some* immune response.
I took her to the emergency vet when I found her like it last Wed evening; she recommended pts but I asked if she could be made comfortable so I could make that decision in conjunction with my own vet the following day. Since then, I've twice I've taken her to my usual vet to be pts and both times my vet has said she thinks there's still a good chance of survival. So for now we battle on. I'm not sure how I feel about things...part of me knows that she deserves the chance and she deserves a chance at the happy life and home she's never had, and part of me feels as if I'm just dragging out her suffering. But it's been nearly a week already so we will keep going for now unless she shows us that she's had enough.
I don't have enough brain cells left to write all about it here; I've written more blurb in my blog:
