6greyhounds Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hershey had not been acting right for a couple of days. Sometimes she does have a little snit of not eating and doing her own thing. Yesterday she only ate half of her daily food and was just laying around and acting listless. At first I thought she was feeling my emotions about Sandi's passing. This morning would not touch any of her food and was worse than the day before of not wanting to move around and looked as if she was walking stiff legged. I decided to take her to the ER vet which is closer than my regular vet and I knew she would be seen sooner than if I went in to my vet. The discovered she was running a slight temp, decided to do blood work, that came back with elevated white cells but not high enough to be concerned. While examing her the vet discovered that she was very sore in her neck so with the elevated white cells he decided to x-ray and was concerned about one of her discs so he consulted with a neuro vet and they both agreed that it could me an anomaly(sp?). They both thought she might have an inflamation so she is on an anti inflamatory med and pain meds. They are waiting for the radiologist to read the x-rays and will contact me if it is a disc problem. Told me to feed her soft or canned food. Tried that would not eat so out came the pots and a made her chicken and rice and got her to eat that. I will probably make her beef and rice on Thursday after EZ sees his neurologist and I have to give him report on Hershey. Will it ever end for me. Funeral on Wednesday and hope everything will run smoothly Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FullMetalFrank Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Oh, I hope she is feeling better; you have enough on your plate... Years ago (wow, many years ago now that I think of it) I had a kitty who was walking stiff-legged and acting very odd, off his food, etc... and I took him to the e-vet. It turned out he was running a temperature for unknown reasons. The vet sent him home with me with a "watch-and-see" and told me his stiffness and behavior was from the fever. He was fine (I think they gave us antibiotics) and back to normal in a few days. I hope Hershey just has a little bug of some sort and feels better soon.

6greyhounds Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hershey ate for me last night the rice/chicken and again this am and I managed to sneak in a couple spoons of canned food. I have dry food soaking now will try that later. She did have a slight fever of 1 degree above normal but was normal when discharged from the vets. Hope it is not her disc and that the antiinflamatory med will work. She is also on pain meds. Stiff legged walking has improved but is still not her normal self and not barking like she usually does Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
