Gizzy seems to have been off colour again recently and although we seemed to deal with the constipation it quickly seemed to reoccur and the last few days she has been quite dark and lethargic. The lump i mentioned that was protruding from near her liver had become large again and she is swelling up. We spoke to the vet and decided to take her in.
Anyway, Adam (the vet) did an ultra sound and said that he cannot see any signs of the ovaries rejuvenating although it is a remote possibilty. However they did notice a suspicious area that could indicate an enlarged spleen or liver ! Our worst nightmare It is possible that she is just constipated and the suspicious area is food in Gizzy`s intestinal tract so he has given her an antibiotic, pain relief and an oral medicine to use at home daily which should relieve her constipation if that is the issue. Fingers crossed, we are all praying she will soon recover.
Does anybody know anything about the enlarged liver and/or spleen issue please ? I know it`s very serious, but is it something that can be resolved or are we looking at losing our little girl if she has either ? I would be really grateful for any information on this and to be prepared should the worst happen. We don`t want her to suffer needlessly by making a bad decision with regards to treatment.
