Pupdate

So the last few days have been crazy. On Monday night, Ferrous started having some heart issues, an irregular heartbeat and what the vet calls VCT's. They gave him some meds to help the issues. They also tried to feed him and he wanted no part of it. We went to visit Tuesday morning and he kinda perked up. We were unable to get him to eat anything - which is bizarre. We were telling the vet we were shocked that they didn't find a tire or other strange objects in his stomach when they did the surgery. The dog loves his food, just not post surgery and while in doggie ICU. Tuesday night, I talked to the vet again, and heart problems were the same, and he encouraged me to make Ferrous' favorite food. So I made some chicken and rice and rushed down to see if I could get him to eat. The nurse told me he had been trying to bust out of his cage (YAY- there is that spark) and was really restless during his EKG. So, they had to sedate him. So he decided to try and throw himself on my lap and went to sleep. Not at all interested in the chicken. The nurse then told me that his veins were blown from the IV's and that they tried to find a new vein, but were not having any luck. So they were going to start administering oral meds for everything. This morning E and I went to visit and Ferrous was a million times better than yesterday! He came to meet us in the waiting room and was wagging his knob like crazy. We went in the room and E was quick to give him a huge hug and kiss, then tried to jump on his back - which we put to a quick stop. The vet explained that if the oral meds started to work, Ferrous could go home tonight!!! Well, I just got off the phone with the vet and Ferrous and his VCTs got worse. They had to find a vein and put him back on a lydocane drip. They are also giving him potassium to see if that will help with the lydocane. As of now, it looks like F-papa is in for another night. SIGH. Not a happy mama. Hopefully tomorrow will be the day.
