My poor Makya has been sick for two weeks. I had a vet appointment last week, but I had to cancel it because of an after school meeting. He seemed to be doing better so I didn't reschedule it. Car rides stress him out, and I thought if he was doing better he didn't need it. He hasn't been throwing up, but then I noticed the last few days he has been kind of lethargic. I decided if he wasn't better by tomorrow to take him to the vet.
Well, when I got home tonight I realized he hadn't really moved form his position. I carried him downstairs to try to get him to eat and was alarmed to discover that he was having problems supporting his weight on his back legs. I took to the emergency hospital here, and they said he probably has fatty liver. Thankfully all the blood tests for infections were negative.
My boyfriend is being a real sweetheart and picking him up from the emergency place and taking him to the vet (the vet doesn't open til after school starts for me and the emergency place is only after hours, so they can't stay there.) I feel awful. I thought he was getting better so I didn't take him in. I didn't trust my instincts and instead thoguht I was overreacting. It sounds like this is reversible, if that is what it truly is (will have to be confirmed by the vet tomorrow.) It absolutely broke my heart leaving him there tonight. I feel like I've abandoned him. He must be so terrified.
