It was obvious we would need more IV fluids faster than we have arranged to get them.
Yesterday, we contacted the vet recommended to us by the ER vet- the vet and it's staff offered us euthanasia and said "home treatment offers you little hope for recovery".
That was a hard thing to hear. It made me sad and angry that someone would give such a grim outlook when research does not support it.
We called the ER vet at 7am and pleaded our case, told them what the other vet said, and begged for them to help.
They allowed us to purchase ONE more bag of LR and anti nausea meds and then recommended yet another, possibly more sympathetic vet.
This one is over 45 minutes away though. We are calling there today.
I administered 2 enemas per wolf creek protocol with a bit of blackstrap molasses. Osiris was able to go outside and walk around for TEN minutes!
