A pox on both our houses
Sanji and I have both been felled by gastrointestinal woes.
A week ago Friday and Saturday, she was in very bad shape. Explosive diadoodoo. I was very worried about her. The vet put her on flagyl(anitbiotics), and she was just fine within a day or two of starting them. I thought everything was okay.
But within 24 hours of stopping the flagyl yesterday, she became symptomatic again. I phoned the vet today. They'd gotten the poop results in on Friday. High white blood cell count. This means infection and lots of inflammation. Maybe a parasite, though they tested for all the common ones. They've given me two more weeks of flagyl, which theoretically should do the trick.
And just so you don't think she's having all the fun.... I was SO VERY SICK with gastroenteritis overnight Thursday that I lost five pounds in nine hours. Yes. I weigh myself. Even when I'd rather be dead. You gotta take silver linings where you find them.
I'm still weak, but much better. Which is good. I need my strength so I can worry about the boo.
