My Lil Girl: Update

Please continue to pray for my Bootsie, I am having a very hard time dealing with this, and I want nothing except to have her home with me!!!

 

Here is the latest update.......I took Bootsie to the hospital last night......her little legs were weak and it was becoming more evident that there was something wrong.

They kept her, and she is still there. I MISS HER!!!!!

* Bootsie was running a fever of 104.5,  it has since went down one degree. (Normal is about 101).

* A CBC was done. This showed that two of her liver levels have lowered. I would normally be thrilled to hear this, except a vet told me once that this will sometimes happen when the liver is shutting down.

* The CBC also showed that Bootsie's white blood cell count has skyrocketed. Her level is at 50,000. A normal level is 17,000.

* Bootsie has a catheter, she is on an IV...... they are giving her two different antibiotics, I know I am not using the right spelling but the antibiotics being used sound like BETROL and SEPHOXITIN.

* Bootsie is still very lethargic and depressed. I called a few minutes ago.....they said she's sleeping.

I am leaving as soon as I post this for the vets office. I will be picking up Bootsie's blood sample and delivering it to Phoenix Laboratories for testing. (Otherwise I have to wait till tomorrow for the results and I can't do that). The bloodtest results from the lab will offer more of a picture as to what we are looking at here.

Two thoughts that Bootsie's vet thinks are possiblilites are:

1. An internal abscess (or infection)

2. Cancer.

I just want my baby Boots home with me, I just want another year, I justneed more time.

I will post again sometime today as soon as the results come back from the lab.

Pray for my girl.

Love,

Paula & Bootsie
