ok Tilly update....

She does indeed have aspiration pneumonia.

The antibiotic she was already on is the most commonly prescribed for it....interestingly it is not effective in 60% of the cases.

She has 2 new meds and stopping that one med. Physical therapy done at home to loosen the fluid and a recheck in 2 weeks.

Her bloodwork shows she is fighting infection but also recovering from the bloodloss.
That means numbers are still off but more normal than Thursdays check.

Today's bill was $450. That is with the vet waiving the exam fee.

It is only good news if the new antibiotics help treat the pneumonia.

We are at $5500 now. Thinking she should be freaking bionic!

Not so much brave, im tired of her jabbing me with the things.
She is brutal I tell you!

You are a brave soul!!!!

I would have to use welding gloves, Kevlar gloves, shark gloves, those "don't cut yourself" gloves and I would STILL wind up needing stitches.

Man, poor girl just can't catch a break can she?
Just keep babying her.

Morning everyone.

I have a steam humidifier running full force.
She is refusing water.
I will let that first med settle and syringe water to get her hopefully drinking.

I really do appreciate you all and the support and kindness of every one of you.

Good morning folks

Henny I'm hoping the new meds work and she starts drinking again soon

Me too Bob.

Catch 22.....the expensive huge antibiotic is to be given.....after a full meal.
I can barely get 1Cup of food in her at best.

Gonna try again in 10 minutes.

I am also going to go get a bigger syringe so I can make her a slurry to squirt in her mouth.
Maybe THAT will work.
