So, I am trying to earn back some money that Dot cost us with this vet visit.....

So, if you wouldn't mind, could you go vote for my baby at:

http://petidol.ca/vote.pet

Where it says Search by entry number/pet name, you can type in Dot or Dash. You can vote once per day/per IP address.

Thanks for you help!

Well, we finally brough her home!!  She has a bit of a fever still, but the vet thinks that could have just been stress of being at the vet. Like her pretty pink band-aid?  She struggled a bit when they took the IV out....

She just keeps wandering around the apartment.  Dash keeps following around behind her.  She has eaten so we are happy!

Well, her fever came back.  So she stays at the vet for another night.   :(  And she still wasn't eating (they were force feeding....whenever she hissed at them, they would shoot soft food into her mouth...we think she was just being lazy!)

We got to go and visit her though and she ate out of my hand :D  The vet assistant was amazed because Dot was eating food off of her blanket (I think she was having problems eating out of the bowl with the "cast" on her paw holding her IV in). 

She seems so much better today and she definitely wasn't as hot as when we brought her in.  Let's hope her fever stays down and we can bring her home tomorrow.

Well, Dot stayed at the vet's last night.  She had a fever when we brought her in.  They kept her, did blood work and xrays.  They also gave her an iv to rehydrate her and to give her some meds (for pain, antibiotics, and to bring the fever down). 

All the blood work and x-rays came back clean.  The vet thinks that there is something wrong at the base of her tail.  I don't know if I believe that...I think Dot is just pissy right now.

We should be able to pick her up today after work.  R and I are both going to try and leave early.

$$$ later....

So, we are taking Dot to the vet tomorrow.

She has been eating or drinking....or using the litter box.  We bought an eye dropper and have been giving her some water with it.  And she will eat a couple of pieces of kibble if we put it in front of her.   She doesn't want to walk anywhere, and she has been laying around for 2 days now.  She slept between my legs all night last night and that is not like her.

She isn't even licking my nose.  She always licks my nose. :(

Why are vet's so expensive?  We need to get pet insurance.
