So for those who havent been following me on my journal… i have been undergoing a painful, expensive 8 months with my Dog. Cadie is only 3 but since last June she got super sick… became listless…bleeding from end to end. I took her to the Vet who treated her with meds and got her symptoms under control but had no diagnosis. Ahe would improve for 3 weeks or so and then she would be back to the Vet and into the hospital for more fluids, more meds, more tests and still nothing could explain her symptoms. Month after month we watched her vomit uncontrollably and bleed end to end, losing her energy abd being uncomfortable and in pain. To date, since June… we have now spent $14,500.00 on tests and medications and specialists and special foods and the has undergone bloodwork, urine culture, poop cultures, endoscopy, x-ray and still they can not find a cause. Now they want an ultrasound which is easily 500$ more.
I started my job in June and literally every pay cheque just pays for her Vet bills. My last Dog NEVER had health problems until she was 16 abd she was a LabradorX. Cadie is a purebred chocolate Lab who is only 3. I am at a loss right now because im just having meltdowns emotionally now because i dont know what to do anymore. When she is good for tbe moment when her symptoms are gone…she is the happiest, cuddliest Dog ever. Full of spunk. But when she starts feeling sick again then its different.
I need support or prayers or somthing because i think we might be at the place where we have to consider all the options.
Its going to take a miracle to stay Keto today cause i am a mess…but hopefully if i post… and reach out…maybe i wont emotionally overeat.
Thanks for listening.
