An emotional vet visit today

Thanks everyone. We had a lovely cuddle at midnight last night. I'm at work and crunchie goes in at 3pm, they didn't want to bring her in in the morning so she wasn't sitting there all day. Feel sick with worry but I know it needs to be done.. need to know all the facts so I can make the right decisions for her.

We're home and in bed. She came around very quickly and was eating her hay in the vets. She's crashed out now as I suspect the adrenaline of her stressful afternoon has worn off.

When the vet inserted the needle down into the main vein to collect the blood sample, she hit an area of clear fluid- which obviously isn't good. Despite her chest seeming clear on xray and heart sounding normal, the vet is worried about this. She says it's likely either crunchie is indeed going into renal failure and it's so far advanced that she now has fluid collecting in her body due to her protein levels being all over the place.. or there's an issue with her heart. Both of these are obviously horrendous. We should have her results tomorrow, but I'm already feeling devastated. I don't really know where we go from here, or for how long.. but ultimately I know I just need to let her be my guide.

We will see what the next few days bring. 20190305_180648.webp
