I have no experience with this, Great you can get blood work done best way to find out what is going on. Could she have gotten into toxins plant, animal, chemical? Hopefully not hardware disease. Please let us know..I was thinking a toulouse too! but wasn't sure with her white eye ring..
she is at least 7 years old. still lays. only in the winter though. she can't walk and moves her head around like she is drunk. all started 3 days ago. and getting worse. she is very quiet. and I don't know if she can see. prior to 3 days ago she was totally normal.
I have her at the vet now. they are thinking cancer or parasite or metal toxicity right now. we are going to get some blood soon and send it out ( I'm a vet tech so she is at work with me)
any ideas or previous experiences would be greatly appreciated.
blood chemistry shows organ function is all normal. complete blood count revealed elevated white blood cell count. oral and injectable antibiotics have been started.
she has a mass on her right food that I failed to mention earlier. we were concerned this may be cancer and may have metastasized to the brain.
x-rays are attached. the radiologist did not feel the bones were affected by anything cancerous although the toe is broken/luxated and will later need surgery. the radiologist did however read out as metal in the abdomen( ventriculus)
I am excited to hear this! metal toxicity. we have alreasy started chelation to treat the toxicity. the lead and zinc blood test won't be back for almost a week I am afraid. but since her kidneys and liver are functioning well then there is no harm in chelation. Dr. expects her to improve within the next 24-48 hours. once she is better we will go to surgery to remove the to/ mass.[/URL]
Can you give her another 24 hrs just to see if worse starts getting better. I know it's so hard to make that decision and I surely am not a vet. I am so sorry your put in this situation, I believe you'll make the right decision for her though.she is worse today. she has started to have seizures this morning. has already had 2 chelation treatments. Dr. is concerned- she feels that she should be doing better not worse... I feel like I may have to make a tough decision for her....Dr. is recommending euthanasia. I feel terrible. I was so hopeful last night.
