Ellie Update

Well, it has been an interesting day so far. I took Ellie down to the vet to check on how she was doing with her new pills to treat her thyroid condition. The doctor thought she was doing really well, she has gained about 1/2 pound and her heart rate was really good.

So, I drove back home, where she jumped out of the car once we were in the garage and ran to the back door.

A little while later, she was digging in her food pushing it all over the place, then she started pacing. It looked like her back legs were giving out. She would walk around the entire room really close to the wall. Chris (my hubby) finally decided to call the vet back, and then thought she might be in insulin shock. So, we got out the Caro syrup, which she licked off of my finger quite quickly. The vet also thought it was insulin shock.

She seems to be doing better now. We are going to take her back to the vet in a little bit.

I wish the vet wasn't so far away (about 30 minute drive), it has been a long day and it isn't over yet. I am going to the same vet that my parents have been going to forever. He is a really good vet and seems to take care of the animals really well. When I moved north of the Cities about 11 years ago, I just continued to take her there.

More to come...
