I can’t cope

It’s 5:20 and Pix has had some sleep. Disturbed but at least some. She is now laying on her side in the position she sleeps in the most. She hasn’t done that at all since she got out of hospital. Her breathing seems less shallow. Maybe I’m looking for something that’s not there but it looks like a little improvement to me. She did bite me when I tried to syringe water into her though. I haven’t gotten her off the bed as I’m waiting until daylight to try and get her urine sample. It might be easier then.

Im praying that it’s a sign of improvement. She is sound asleep at the moment. She hasn’t panted for about an hour.

I’m really struggling with being so tired but I don’t want to miss anything.

Pixies glucose level is low and ketones is high. Just waiting for the vet to get back to me.

Sending hugs @Captain24 . Wish i could send energy too for you, given your mostly-sleepless night.

Know that you are doing everything you can for Pix right now. You are doing everything you can.

Hope the vet gets back to you ASAP.

Whilst I wish Pix wasnt unwell, given the stress and anxiety around her health and lack of eating and drinking on her part, her being in the vet hospital does sound like it might be the best thing for both her and you (as you can then get some sleep and know she is in best care and being monitored). But i also know the financial cost of this will have real impact on you also 😢.

The vet is meeting me at 8:30 at the clinic. @AlwaysMyself. I can’t get her to eat or drink. She is just not well. She did get some decent sleep for a little bit. I dozed off at 5:45 and my timer went off at 6. I laid there for a little while longer and then got up at 6:20.

Hospital is where she needs to be. It’s too stressful with her glucose to low and ketones to high. Plus not eating or drinking.

I will stress about her being there in her own but if the vet doesn’t get any call outs she will check on her every couple of hours. But if she is on a call out she can’t. There is only one vet on outside of hours.

I can get some sleep though. I don’t know if she will be home tonight or not but some rest today will help me get through another night.

I’ve got a little bit of money. But if I get too stuck mum will help. Hopefully I can get through though. My account will just go into the red when all my bills come out next week.

Morning @Captain24, I'm so glad that Pix got some sleep. I'm sorry her levels still aren't ok though. Hope meeting with the vet goes ok and that they can get some fluids into Pix and get her levels within a safe/normal range.

Sending you lots of hugs sweetheart ❤️

Hopefully they can sort her out @MissGremlin. Every time she needs another blood test the nurse call-out fee is $250! But it is what it is. She needs to be well and I have to do whatever I can to get her there.

She actually seems a little brighter since we got up and had a little bit to eat. I was cutting up food for her to take with us and she wanted it. She only ate about 10 grams but it was something.

How was your sleep?

@Captain24 vets are so expensive but yes we do what we can for our fur babies.

I'm glad she ate a little bit, that's a good sign.

How are you feeling sweet?

My sleep was really crappy, I'm so tired. I'm making a cuppa then taking it back to bed.

They are but she needs them @MissGremlin

Im a little relieved that she is going to hospital. I feel sick that she needs hospital. I am scared of the outcome. Plus the outcome of tomorrow’s test and ultrasound. I feel sick because I’m so tired.

Im sorry your sleep was crappy. Hopefully some bed rest time will help. Maybe you will nod off and get a little more sleep.

@Captain24 can understand all of your feelings here sweet. It's such a scary situation with Pix being so unwell. I'm keeping everything crossed and praying for Pix and you ❤️.

Hoping i can get a little bit more sleep this morning but I'm so anxious for the meeting tomorrow.

It’s hard because she is actually looking a little brighter today @MissGremlin. That’s a good thing it’s just that her urine is not right and she isn’t drinking. The poor vet doesn’t understand Pix’s levels as the glucose should be high with the ketones being high. She is doing blood tests as we speak and is going to ring me with the results and what’s next. She is putting her in a saline drip to get some fluids into her.

She is in for a minimum half a day but could be full day. I just said whatever she needs.

I got home without Pix and Jett started trembling. I have to take her in tomorrow as well and come home without her!

I’m hoping you can get some more sleep. I’ve read a little bit about this meeting but I really haven’t gone far enough back to see what it’s about. Only if you want to share
