Month: October 2017

She was fine for the Vet all night.  Didn’t make a peep about her pain.  She is being sent home tonight with gabapentin and more tramadol.  I paid her amputation bill also and will receive a copy of the final paid bill tonight.  Let’s hope this entire process is coming to a close!!

I asked if she thought it might be plp and told her that I was reading a lot about it last night.  She said I could read anything I wanted, but she didn’t know what caused her to yelp/cry like that.  She said maybe her bone got caught on an inside suture and caused pain.  She would send home medicines and asked for me to send money for the bill.

I don’t know.  I just want the staples out and her on the way to a better furever.

 

I had to take Ruby back into the Hospital tonight.  She was in extreme pain when I came home from work.  Crying, yelping out loud and wouldn’t eat.  I called her Vet on her cell phone, she didn’t answer.  I called the hospital in Anderson and she was still there and told me to bring her in.  She ended up keeping her and is taking her home for the night to Ft. Wayne.  She wanted to see what she was doing.  I told her she probably needed Gabapentin and a stronger pain med.  The tramadol is not helping her at all.  I have never heard her cry or yelp like this, in so much pain.  I did removed the cone and she went straight towards that incision.  The Vet pushed on the incision, but she didn’t seem to show discomfort.  I really do not know what is going on.  She has been fine this entire week up until tonight when I got home.  This just devastates me.  I am trying so hard for her, she is fighting very hard to get thru this, but we can not seem to get ahead of it still.

I also do not believe I will be able to apply for the grant to help me pay for her bills as I still have not received the bill for all of this and I only have 14 days to submit it all.  I do not think I will be able to do it in time for the 60 days after surgery.  I’m overwhelmed.
