Help Martini recover from unexpected complications
Donation protected
Dear friends,
As you have all seen, Martini had an accident with her knee on monday November 22nd. We don't know exactly what happened but it seems like some little bones have been misplaced and caused inflammation and it was really uncomfortable.
Long story short we went to the vet in emergency because I wouldn't walk at all. Spent the whole night there and they sent us back home with some painkillers and anti-inflammatory. Martini was very stoned but the vet said it was okay. We diminished the dose with another vet's recommendation cuz she is too small.
Last night she seemed better but still in pain and she was letting us know when she needed to potty or pee. She had soft poo but it's a side effect to the med. Later that night she vomited so we cleaned her gently and we all went back to sleep.
Respiration was good and we were giving her water with a syringe to keep her hydrated. When came the time to give her the anti inflammatory med with food, she didn't want to eat and she was very off. We called the vet and they said this painkiller is the one they always give to the elderly cuz it's the safest.
We became very concerned when Martini wasn't really alert even after 9hours of this med that should take 8hours to dissipate( and we gave her half the dosage) We then called in agaim and they asked us to come to the emergency because something was wrong or at least, seemed wrong.
Turns out she his really dehydrated even though we gave her water consistantly.
They decided to keep her in the ER to get her back up on track. They took blood sample again and urine samples and they are monitoring her flr the next 24hours.
We decided to do a GoFundMe because some of you asked if they could donate for her vet bills. We said that we would take care of it but as the bill went up 3x the initial amount, and we can't tell you not to help or to help so everything is up to you.
The vet bill including yesterday's is a minimum of 3400$ and some charges could add up depending on the outcome of tonight.
Martini need love above anything else and we are willing to move mountains for that lil girl.
Martini gives you all many kisses and we just want you all to know that you are truly an amazing community and you have always been comprehensive and kind with us 3.
Martini and family
