Rory's had this nose bleed since 730 this morning. My dad called me when he got to work to ask how it was then called the vet. I'm taking her in as soon as his friends get here to take me. I have not left her side. They think she doesn't have enough platelets to clot it. I'm pretty sure it's another day where I'm going to have to call out of work.
I feel like the only person in my family who cares.
Edit: 1221 pm
We had to leave Rory at the vet because she was like way booked & all that. But she's there. We left at like 1115/1130 & she was still bleeding pretty back. I know, I know, I know she's gonna be okay. I kept making sure she was breathing normal & her heartrate was okay which it was. & when we got there she said hi to everyone like she LOVES to do & got excited about people/animals who said hi back and forgot the ones who didn't. & there was a long haired dauschand in the waiting room with us who had a prestigious name like... Dunkin Fellowthorp or something & he was making lovey eyes at Rory that drove her craaazy and she wouldn't let me wipe her nose because she was so infatuated with the runt. So I know, I know, I know she's going to be okay. And I can go to work on 3 1/2- 4 hours of sleep one of my dads provigil and half a bowl of cereal. I'm just worried about her. She hates being away from us if we're just going to get the mail [and I know she deals with it. it's not extreme separation anxiety, she just likes to keep track of us & protect us.] I think most of the reason she did so poorly at the hospital but when we brought her home, she was fine, was because she was expelling too much energy worrying about us.
I don't care what anyone thinks. I know my dog thinks like a human. [Of course a human with a lack of object permeance... cough. but she has it for somethings...] I know she does. And anyone who's met her will agree. I think it's not just my dog but all dogs. They think and feel like humans do. And Rory is no exception. :[
