I thought she had an infected or ruptured anal gland so I put warm compresses on her butt and put some antibiotic ointment on a bump she had back there. She seemed to settle so we put her to bed.
Next day she got up and seemed normal but hb took them out and she did her business and came in walking hunched over. I was alarmed by then and called the vet. Luckily they had an opening at 10.
BIL helped me get to vet with Aiden. I got there walking with two canes. I thought we would be putting her asleep and I was determined she would not die alone. I had to be there.
When she had her appt. they thought she had back pain. They wanted to sedate her and do special x rays, do blood work, give her a rabies shot, and this and that. The total cost was over $2000. I said do this, however Hb's names was on as owner and when called, he would not agree. We had a little bit of a fight over the phone in the Drs office. He wouldn't agree because she is at the end of her life span. So we ended up bringing her home and letting her rest until Monday when she goes back for another check up.
I told Hb to prepare himself for the worse. It's possible she may recover but I don't expect it. I hope I'm wrong.
Our house is not a pleasant place to be right now. Hb is whining and complaining and I keep telling him to STFU and not make Aiden's last days unpleasant. So that's where we are right now. My poor girl....
