Two weeks ago, I found my cat, Callie, paralyzed in my closet. I took her to the emergency clinic and they thought it was a stroke or blood clot. They put a clipboard in my lap with an amount of paperwork equivalent to a car loan application with a figure starting at $1500 -2500 if they kept her 18 hrs and ran tests but couldn’t guarantee they would know what was wrong with her. Then they threw in another $2000-2500 if they did an MRI. All the tests, except for the MRI, were going to hurt her. I made the decision to have her put down and I am heartbroken. My little girl was 2.
It is a horrible place to be but all we can give them is that we love them enough to not let them suffer. As much love as you have for her, you will know when the time is right.
I am praying your baby gets better. Have you tried some deli meat like roast beef or turkey to get her to eat? Is she getting enough fluids?
And I am liking the post about the rice. Maybe cook the rice in chicken broth.
I am so sorry, that is heartbreaking.
She got a fluid injection (subcutaneous I think it is called) so she is hydrated. I’m sorry about Callie. I have been faced with the itemized list from the emergency clinic too in times past. It is shocking.
