Really poorly puppy

 

Sadly Luna is still unwell.  My own vet was stumped as to why she's not getting better despite IV fluids, antibiotics etc So she's been referred to a specialist and is currently at the vet school in Glasgow for a few days of investigation.  Blood tests have shown that her liver isn't functioning properly so she's getting a scan tomorrow (Monday) to get a clearer picture.  It's possible she may have been born with something genetic and that's why she's not able to fight off infections.

I'm over my insurance limit so from now on I'm paying for the tests myself.  Current estimate from the vet school is at least £3,000.  She's a really poorly puppy.

  1. Oh gosh poor Luna and poor you. If it's proven to be genetic is there any way of suing the breeder?

  8. So sorry to hear this news. It's rubbish when pets are poorly, if only they could tell us where it hurts. Wishing her a good recovery, and hopeful the estimated cost comes in a bit less for you! When you have pets you realise how good the NHS is for humans don't you! Fingers and eyes crossed for you. x
