Well.
First the good news.
Iris's chest, while still a little wheezy, is massively better. In the vet's opinion, it's as good as it'll ever be.
Also, her teeth are much improved thanks to hay.
However, that's all of the good news.
The bad news: her chest is still wheezy. Her teeth still have spurs, she has a damp bottom, she is very down in herself. She's acting out of sorts - even being more affectionate in the vets. She literally jumped into my arms for comfort. She also in spite of being litter trained, (and being re-trained and very good while retrained) has started just peeing where she's sitting.
She was underweight to start and has lost another 300g.
The only thing not under question is her appetite. But even then, if we make the smallest change to her diet, she doesn't eat her caecatrophs.
She has a 9 day course of panacur. If she responds, and puts on weight, then great. If she doesn't, then we're at the beginning of the end. Because we couldn't insure her, there's limited treatments we can do. The panacur is just about it.
We're all upset. Even the vet at P@H is upset by this. Iris deserves better, but she's still so poorly.
It feels like we really are at 'last chance saloons.'
I'm really sorry to hear this
Does the vet think there may be some kidney issues going on here? Poor lamb, definitely out of sorts x
