First, let me THANK EVERYONE for yalls thoughts and prayers for Jewel.
I can't even express the ultimate appreciation of yalls wonderful comments.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰☺️☺️😘😘😘😘
I bought a glucometer to watch Jewel's blood sugar. It's so small and it has an app to record results. I just wanted to show yall how small it is.😮
Jewel seems to feel better. I got lots of tail wagging this morning but no kisses yet.
It was already planned that Jewel would go back to the vet this morning for bloodwork and then an ultrasound to check the pancreas and to see if she has any inflammation in her GI track.
I'm doing a lot of research on everything. Being a nurse, I know a lot about people and for the most part all animals have similar diseases, infections, and issues...etc, but like normal ranges on labwork are different, treatments can be different and medications...etc. I want to be sure I'm asking all the right questions.
I've never had an issue with Pancreatitsis.
Vet said her concern is her "baby" Red Blood cells are low meaning that old blood cells are not being replaced like normal which can cause her to be anemic.
My vet will call me later with the ultra sound results and we'll go from there.
I'll keep everyone updated.
