Yabbey has been at the vet now for just over a week. She is in good spirits despite everything when I go to see her. She quit eating and drinking over a week ago and so I took her into se Dr Collin. They gave her fluid and some medicine, but unfortunately that didn’t work and we were back the next day as she was dehydrated. The third day it wasn’t better so they had to admit her and put her on fluids. After a few days on fluids they did a scan and discovered that her lymph nodes were larger than they should be and so was part of her intestine. We made the decision to do the biopsy even though it was a fairly major surgery for her. She made it through the surgery and was looking really well, however during surgery they discovered her liver wasn’t in good shape either. They also put a feeding tube in her neck to force some food into her as she was going on a week without food at that point.
I have been able to spend some time with her most days and se hope to have the test results on Monday so we can figure out how far along the lymphoma is and what type it is as the treatments vary greatly. Unfortunately we will have some big decisions to make next week.
