Dixie’s health

Dixie’s health is still declining. She hasn’t eaten a meal since Thursday (which she threw up), and the little bit she does drink comes back up most of the time.

We took her to the Vet yesterday where they ran test after test on her, yet they still couldn’t determine a cause for her being sick. The doctor did say her liver looked smaller than usual and that if she hasn’t improved by mid-week, to come in for an ultra-sound or even surgery for a biopsy on her liver.

We’re just now sure if we want to do that, especially if there’s no guarantee it’ll find something since nothing else has yet to find something. We don’t wanna have to put Dixie through even more tests or even surgery. She has no energy and is thinner than I’ve ever seen her. All of this is also starting to take it’s toll on us.

So we’ve considered the option pet’s owners probably want to avoid, putting her to sleep. With her not eating and drinking, we’re not sure how long she’s gonna last. Donna and her sister Dawn (Dixie’s orignal owner) decided if Dixie hasn’t improved any tomorrow, then tomorrow night or Tuesday they’ll take her to the Vet and have her put to sleep.

Something we don’t wanna do, but right now it looks like it may be the best for her. :(
