I am left feeling helpless while Chloe battles another infection. When she had her last blood screen her white cell count was up so I sort of knew something was on the horizon
Anyway, last night she was up and down all the time, going out with the runs and then at about 4am she was sick. I have just been to the vets and her temperature is 104 so she must be feeling pretty crappy. Vet says her bum is red raw too
What gets to me is the feeling powerless to stop it. I hardly take her out for fear of what she may pick up so she is more or less confined to the garden and even that isn't enough. The only thing I do insist on if it is a vet that hasn't seen Chloe is that they give her injection and not just tablets. With having no immune system, the tablets alone aren't quick enough for her little body. Luckily it was Randal who knows her almost as well I do. He gave her Noroclav injection and tablets, Lectade and a Metacam injection. Forgot to ask why the Metacam, that is the first time ever she has had that. After a week she has to go get a white cell check. Sorry to go on. It is just upsetting that I can't protect her from these monthly infections and it is that 'please do something Mummy' face that rips my heart to bits.
