Granny's gone and done it again

Yes, they mentioned. Would have to travel to Salt Lake City for all sorts of tests then the transfer. I can't imagine her going through all of that. I can't make that trip. I can't afford all of that. Yesterday was 500 dollars. Transfusions often mean hospital stay. We're talking 1'000's of dollars. And there's no guarantee that it would work.
I'm feeling guilty I can't do it, but then again I wouldn't want to put her through it all.
She's already bleeding so much more. This morning her towels were soaked. When I picked her up last night she groaned in pain. This morning her gums are not pink. White. I honestly don't think she would do well with a transfusion. I remember how horrible I felt being given 4 pints of blood.
She isn't pooping.
Calling that office again to ask about pain meds. My vets office here suggested calling them first. If they say to let my vet do it, the gal I've known for years at our vet said they would.
Cynthia I agree with Granny, you are doing all you can. It's between her and God at this point and all you can do is what you are doing.

Don't feel guilty. When we lost our Sydney to Pythiosis the bill at MIZZOU was 3500 dollars just to have to put her to sleep in the end. We were lucky in that we had the money then to do that but couldn't do it now. Not with the economy the way it is. We are all with you here, we all understand what you are going through and are here for you. Try to keep her comfortable and see what happens.

Could they use vitamin K injections to slow the bleeding down?

They wanted me to go for a blood transfusion on 5he puppy. Would have to go to an er with blood. They also wanted me to euthanize her.my vet is a very down to earth breeder vet. She has seen it all. My DH said let’s see if we can save her . It was a terrible 3 weeks
 
I went thru that with 2 of mine. I never seen a dog so close to death and pull her thru. Still patting myself on the back over that one. Bandit did a few days at the vets with no improvement until I gave him the bone broth. First he had ate in days. Came home the next day. I had total help with that bill or he would of died at home.
 
We were both right! DH's doctor just called us and changed his antibiotics.

Girl we shoulda been doctors!
I had a P.A tell me one time that nurses were there to save the doctors ass not kiss it. I can't count the number of times another nurse or I had to correct something a doctor had messed up. Usually because they were in to big a hurry to pay attention.
