MP_the4pack Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 After dinner tonight, Crystal started to get uncomfortable. I rushed her to the vet thinking bloat. He took xrays and said it's probably just gas and a full tummy. So we came home. She wasn't better by 11 so I called them back. She said to give a tramadol. I only had rimadyl, she said that was ok. If she wasn't improved within an hour she should go to the ER. At 1 AM I took her to VSEC in PA. She doesn't have bloat. Her spleen is HUGE! And she's started to bruise on the belly and there's fluid in her belly. It looks very very bad. She'll be getting an ultrasound first thing in the morning and from there we'll decided if a splenectomy is needed. It could be DIC or cancer or other things that by that time I didn't hear. I've only had her 12 days. She needs to have a little more time at my house, to enjoy life. Heck, she just ran in the blur of fur on Sunday at GIG. She can't go yet!

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
