EDIT** Margie Update 2 (Sunday)
This is Margie’s 3rd night in hospital. She was so excited to see us today, and it was the most beautiful surprise to see her able to get up and greet us. The last two times we’d visited, she’d barely been able to lift her head, so seeing that little bit of strength return meant the world to us. She is still very weak and has a long road ahead, so she’s needing plenty of rest.
We’re happy to say she’s slowly starting to eat again, and her potassium and electrolyte levels are now back within the normal range. Unfortunately, her kidney values are still much higher than they should be, so that’s still our biggest concern at the moment.
Our gorgeous girl does have pneumonia, but thankfully she seems to be responding well to treatment and is fighting it bravely.
We’re still waiting on the final results for Addison’s disease, however she is responding well to the treatment for it, so it’s looking increasingly likely that this is the diagnosis.
We’re really hoping her kidney levels improve enough on Monday for her to be able to come home and continue healing where she’s happiest🤍
Margie update (Saturday)đź’—
After visiting Margie today and speaking with our vet, it became clear that despite exhausting every available option available to them, she was continuing to deteriorate. We made the decision to transfer her to a specialist emergency veterinary hospital, where she is now receiving intensive care and undergoing extensive testing.
At the moment, we're waiting for the results to see if Margie has Addison's disease. Sadly, she also has several other serious medical issues happening at the same time. The specialist team is currently treating her for acute kidney disease. We don't yet know how much lasting damage has been done or whether her kidneys will recover. They're also investigating possible pneumonia.
Margie will be staying in hospital for the next few days while the team continues to monitor her closely, carry out further testing, and provide the treatment she needs.
Our little girl is such a fighter, and we're holding onto hope that she'll keep fighting and start to show some signs of improvement soon.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out, checked in, and kept Margie in your thoughts. Your love, kindness, and support mean the world to us. 💗✨
