The saga of my poor Platina is at an end
So we went to Animal Kind today. It was over 60 miles round trip. Not sure how many, cause the gps kept trying to direct us to the highway and the interstate, and we probably would have gotten into an accident for sure that way. I told my mom she was not to start yelling and screaming at me, cause that will get my anxiety up, and then I WILL start getting the GPS directions confused on her. (She is hard of hearing so can't hear the GPS at all. So I was navigating her with my phone.)
Had to divert her a few times without her knowing, cause the GPS kept trying to lead us back to the danger zone...but we got there. We even at one point passed the apple farm Melissa and I stopped at for turnovers.
Now as to Platina...it turns out whoever called my mom back, gave her the wrong information. I had read the close caption phone log, so I saw with my own eyes whoever had called had claimed Platina wasn't being euthanized, and that she was eating. Only that wasn't the case. The nurse apologized and said she WOULD be talking to the staff downstairs, to not give people false hope without first hearing directrly from the medical staff about a patient's condition.
So yeah....she was not eating...they were having to force feed her, and she wasn't improving, even though they were doing twice a day, the hydration iv therapy bags...the doctor seemed frustrated that she hadn't improved with that treatment...and yes she was in organ failure big time. =/
So there was really nothing that could be done. They didn't fight me on my decision that it was time, even they agreed it was time. I don't know if she even recognize me, as she seemed really disoriented and spaced out. They gave her a sedation shot, then let me hold her until it had time to work. Then they gave her that final shot, and I got to hold her until her heart had stopped.
I don't know what to hope for in regards to the bill....see I asked the nurse about having to pay, and she said no charge. But I feel like to believe that is to jinx myself and then get hit with a big bill. So I won't feel like I can believe her no charge thing until some time has passed that proves she was correct on that. As it is, I still owe the first vet money. X_X
Right now I feel pretty numb....
