Harri update #4: still hopeful
The vet got the lab results back on the fluid he drained from Harri's
chest. It does NOT indicate rat poison as he first thought, rather it indicates a massive infection. Harri is back on massive antobiotics and the vet will be operating this afternoon to implant chest tubes. Her chest will have to be drained pretty much continuously, since just between when he drained the fluids last night and when he took another x-ray this afternoon a lot more fluid has collected. Current concern is for Harri to survive anesthesia (always a risk with compromised lungs and an ongoing infection). She will be at the vet for probably 3 or 4 more days. And the bill will go up by another $1500 But the vet ought to able to get this under control. I sure hope so - I can't imagine going through life without my little Roadcat. The vet will call this evening when Harri wakes up. Dan |
