Days of Clyde's Lives
DANGER!! Clyde is slipping. We've got to grab hold of him tighter! Help me hold onto
him!
8/2/97
Day Four-- The Clyde Saga, Health Slipping!
The Vet called this morning.
Clyde failed his blood test.
The Vet is having difficulty figuring this out. Clyde is eating well, his eyes are clear and he was showing signs of improvement. But the toxic levels in his blood haven't gone down.
The Vet (a second doctor) said there was one of two things we could do. I could take Clyde to a special hospital for treatment, or bring him home over the weekend for home care and then return on Monday for more tests.
To be frank, I am fearful of getting involved with a big hospital because the money drains away like water from a broken pipe, and it would be more traumatic for both of us to go through this. And, my experiences with big hospitals haven't been good, so I really want to avoid this.
I said I'd take him home and give him the "home remedy" (you don't want to know what this involves, trust me.) The Vet said he thought that was a good choice for now.
I picked Clyde up, he was so happy to be going home. I learned what I needed to know, and got the necessary equipment.
Well, we got home (after quite an argument from Clyde about riding in the car) and at first things seemed okay. I had to start the treatment right away, but Clyde, being home and a little bolder, was resistant, so I only got part of it done. We're going to try again in a few minutes.
His eyes have started clouding again, and he is begining to cry. He also doesn't smell very good (understandable, I guess, but it scares me.) I am going bonkers. The Shaman can't get here until tonight, and the Vet is closing for the weekend!
This is so awful.
Well, we just need some more prayers, for both of us this time! I feel so incompetent-- I'm not a vet, I don't know what signs to read or how to read them. All I can do is what I was told to do, and try and make him as comfortable as possible.
Right now, he is sitting in the window watching the traffic. He finds that very interesting.
I am getting very fearful.
Please, send your energy to us!
Thanks.
