Mollydog has not been well today again, she was sick several times last night and has been under the weather today. But she has eaten 5 teaspoons of chicken at widely spaced intervals this evening and kept them down...
Edit 4:30pm Monday : Mollydog is not looking good. She is still being sick despite anti-emetics and seems worse today, though still not as ill as last week.

Date: 2012-02-20 12:29 pm (UTC)They have sent some blood off to a lab for further tests, and in the meanwhile she's had an anti-emetic jab and I have yet more anti-emetic pills to give her.
There is some suggestion that they might want to operate to check her intestines. I'm not sure what I think about that : I'll need to be very convinced that they are quite likely to find something fixable, OR that her quality of life is poor and can't be improved by management. She is already quite a bit older than many retired racers manage.
If she has some sort of cancer - but I can stop giving her Previcox and keep her on the anti-emetics and give her decent quality of life for a bit longer - then I'd rather do that than have them open her up and lose her on the operating table...
She's down to 25.7 kilos, from 28.2. That is still 0.2 kilos above her official racing weight as a young athlete though so even though the weight loss is alarming, it's not yet disastrous.

Date: 2012-02-20 04:28 pm (UTC)I'm afraid today is not going well for Mollydog. She is cuddled up in her blanket but still doesn't seem to be able to keep anything down. :-(

Date: 2012-02-20 04:36 pm (UTC)I'm afraid Molls is not doing too well. I am still hoping that she can pull through : at the moment she is resting and doesn't seem too uncomfortable at least.
