Sophie
Well Sophie has been home for about three weeks now and things are doing OK. We started doing hydration three days on, one day off. We mentioned to the vet that Sophie was not standing well and he suggested we bring in one of her hydration bags so he could add some potassium to give her some strength.
We brought her back to the vet a week later for a check up and blood tests. Things looked pretty stable but she was becoming anemic. The doctor prescribed Procrit to help generate red blood cells. This is a human hormone and can have it’s own challenges but he felt the risk is worth it. I give her an injection twice a week using a small insulin needle. I feel bad because the poor girl must feel like a pin cushion.
She’s getting around well and is able to jump up on the bed with little trouble. She is eating well and seem to be filling out a little. We know this is a day to day blessing but every day with her is one great day for us.
