Update on page 2. She has liver failure!! ;_;
Hello all!
My Maltese,Mandy,has been a bit off for quite a long time. This summer her pooh was yellowy and soft (I'm sure you all wanted to know that!) and eventually the color and texture returned to almost normal after using the medicine my vet gave her. But it never quite got totally back to normal. Lately her droppings have been very dark and with occasional mucus.
The vet says she has a very high white blood cell count and has some sort of inflammation inside. He said the muck was so dark because of digested blood. So she is currently on more pills,almost done them,and she isn't back to normal. A bit better in color,but not normal. It's been so many months of fighting this I honestly can't even remember what a healthy dog pooh looks like! Her stomach also seems to always feel full and tight,not how she generally feels,I am worried something really scary is going on inside her! Her last blood test said all her organs were fine though... Also in the last few days,she has been breathing a bit heavily in the evenings. She sort of sounds like she's snoring a bit but she's awake. It doesn't seem to bother her and she isn't breathing really fast or anything,but it's just a bit worrying.
We have been to the vet so many times trying this and that and nothing is getting her back to good health and I'm getting worried and exasperated!
Have any of you had experiences with your pets similar to this? Any ideas or tips? Last time Mandy wasn't well,you guys gave me heaps of help which actually ended up healing her sore mouth! Thankyou for that!
Help!
