Last Tuesday, at the age of 10 years 9 months, she had a blockage. When admitted at the vets the blood glucose was 18, though they tried everything medically it went up to 28 and she was blowing up. Despite her age we elected for surgery as she presents as younger than her years.
She got through the surgery remarkably well and was even eating in the first 24 hours. However, they found a stricture and adhesions. The long term prognosis is not good. Her recovery from the surgery was quite slow but steady and yesterday morning she stopped eating. she was admitted to the vets for supportive care.
Today I got the dreaded phone call to say she is very quiet and hasn't eaten on her own. Her blood glucose is rising. It's looking like she's heading towards being blocked again and I've been asked if I wanted to consider surgery again. Given the long-term prognosis I've said not. We are continuing to treat medically but I don't think she can get through this.
I think I'm losing her... and only weeks after losing Tink.
