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.
Oh gosh poor Luna and poor you. If it's proven to be genetic is there any way of suing the breeder?
ReplyDeleteThat's something I'll be looking into once I get an answer to what the problem might be
DeleteOh my goodness - that is bad news and doesn't sound too hopeful. So sorry as she looked such a lovely puppy
ReplyDeleteThere's always hope but I won't know any more until the scan and tests are complete
DeleteOh I am so sorry to hear this - rooting for her and hope things improve soon xxx

Thanks, I'm keeping my fingers crossed
DeleteI am so sorry to hear this- she is in the right place though, and hopefully they will find it is something they can put right xx
ReplyDeleteShe's definitely in the right place. It's full of specialist vets so I hope they can work out what's wrong
DeleteSo sorry to near this and hope the vet school can find out what’s wrong. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThey are one of the top veterinary schools in Europe so fingers crossed they work out what's wrong with her
DeleteSo sorry to hear about poor Luna. Sounds like she is in the best place. Fingers crossed for you both.
ReplyDeleteThanks, fingers crossed indeed
Deletethinking of you and hoping for a good outcome x
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's a waiting game for news
DeleteSo 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
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear Luna is still unwell, fingers crossed you get answers soon xx Lynda
