Can Cassandra inject the metaclopramide into the port close to the
needle when she is giving little Kisa her subQ fluids? It would save
them both from another stick.
Good idea abt leaving her with the vet maybe.

Cassandra,
When you go back tomorrow, you might ask them to give her at least
150 ml of subqs to make for the fluids she's lost in the vomiting.
Have them teach you how to do it too & get your supplied with the
fluids, the IV setup & needles. This is something you need to be
able to do at home for her.
If the vet wants to try the Metroclopramide, have him do the
injectable. The pills may just come up again. The injectable is
something you can do too. Have him just make up the dose in
prepared needles.
Hemoibart does affect the liver among other things. It's a nasty
nasty bug. And as someone else has said, it's very hard to catch on
a blood smear because one minute it is there & the next it is not.
BUT regardless Kisa MUST be on the doxy for at least 3 more weeks.
So it is crucial to get the vomiting under control -----------
because of hydration, because of getting the doxy down. If she
can't take the doxy, then she's going to get anemic again right
away & with hemobart that HCT will go down to life-threatening
levels very quickly. If she's not vomiting at the vet's, then I
think y ou might consider leaving her there until things stabilize.

It would be great if her liver issues were due to hemobart, but
i'm not sure it can cause all the issues she has. She had very
high lvls of bilirubin, but she wasn't anemic at all a week ago.
Her liver is enlarged as well, with some elevated liver enzymes,
and then there's the vomiting 2-4 times per day with zero appetite.
Possibly the hemobart jumped on the bandwagon this last week while
she's been weak and stressed, or hopefully it could be the cause
of some of her problems. It's really hard to say, but i'm
constantly praying that its not cancer and somehow the problem can
be dealt with.

Hey Cassandra,
I was reading up on hemobartanellosis right now, and
it says that it can cause jaundice, which is related
to the liver, I believe. Maybe that's what's causing
the liver issues?! I sure hope so. Thank goodness
they found the hemobart, because it is VERY hard to
diagnose. Half the time, they can't see the little
buggers on the slide under a microscope. If she pulls
through this, we need to make a note for later in case
we see this again.
Praying that her liver issues are related to the
hemobart...
:)
