Need advice for Abby shutting down
Listen - question for you all. I have a 7 year old female foster abby that I took from the shelter before her scheduled euthanasia. When I looked at her I realized that I really should have left her there, but I just couldn't. I was given drugs and sub q fluids. She has rhino pretty bad and will not eat. I have tried EVERYTHING. Opened up different brands of wet and dry, mixing, not mixing etc, raw, cooked, fresh fish, tuna, sardines...you name it. 2 days ago I sat on the floor with her trying to coax her to eat and she wanted my honey nut cherios with milk - which I just gave her since it was something. Anyways, yesterday I went and bought Cat Milk which she is actually drinking but I know it is no good for her.
Can I continue with whatever she wants? It is a miracle that she is still alive. The vet does not have much hope for her, but I cannot give up. I do realize there is a fine line on what is humane and what is not. I have to tell you that she will walk to me and give me those Abby headbutts. I just cannot think of the alternative and want to keep plugging away at this. Please - your input is so very important and suggestions, opinions, comments are very welcomed. Thanks All! Forgot to mention - she has been to the vets and they prescribed the meds and sub q. They are just not optimistic. Last edited by BenMax; July 9th, 2010 at 11:39 AM. Reason: adding info |
