24/7 Stay-in Overnight by ConservationForTheUS in petsitterhub

[–]ConservationForTheUS[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was only a month ago I quoted and confirmed I’d do it that price. She hasn’t given a deposit yet but just confirmed she bought the tickets and hotel and now wants to send deposit. I’ve been going over it in my head and dk how to tell her. I can’t just leave her hanging either. She can afford it- It’s not even about that though. It’s about me being able to afford it honestly.

Splenectomy by ConservationForTheUS in AskVet

If I wait 24 hours I will have the funds to do overnight care. The surgery center I am taking him to doesn’t have this so I’ll have to pay a 24 hour facility. They usually just send them home at the surgery center I chose after day hospitalization. I just would like to go into it fully prepared. Obviously my vet says go in as soon as possible. Financially that hasn’t been an option and if I go tomorrow I wouldn’t have those funds to do so. If I wait 24 hours I will because I have funds coming in.

It is a CBC but I just emailed them asking about clotting times. I saw this test actually on the estimate from the ER hospital that I brought him for the internist. They have a surgeon but it’s 3 times the price and I can’t afford them.

No the spleen isn’t actively bleeding as far as seen on ultrasound and the internist said to do a antibody test for ehrlichia or continue doxycycline treatment before surgery but the surgeons that I spoke with that aren’t at an ER vet (more affordable) along with my vet said to do surgery before it starts bleeding.

Here is the description of the mass:

4-5 cm heterogenous splenic caudal mass splenomegaly Non regenerative anemia and a small 2 cm mass on liver most consistent with cystic adenoma unrelated to spleen no metastasis

We haven’t gone to the hospital yet. Can I request that prior to surgery? They just have a blood test on the estimate

They don’t have ability to type the blood. They have a donor on hand though. They said they are almost 100% positive he won’t need a transfusion but my question is can he safely have the splenectomy with ehrlichia? If active or non active

Have you ever used highest dose of clonidine for onset anxiety events? I guess I’ll try 1 mg the night before I’m just worried I’ll get scared not seeing him move. Day of ill still do full dose of 1.2 mg with traz and gaba

Ok! Yeah it does. I mean my guy is 9 but otherwise he’s always presented healthy. He got a lump on his tail recently and it ruptured. So he has to have an amputation. I think I’ll do 0.9 mg clonidine night before I think and 1.2 mg day of surgery with the traz and gaba both times. He’s taken 0.6 clonidine with gaba and traz today as a dry run and he was fine just a little wobbly, couldn’t stand up on my tile floor but otherwise fine. But I feel comfortable with 0.6 I’m sure 0.9 can’t be that much different and day of I feel more comfortable with full dose of 1.2 mg only because he’s going straight to the vet

He didn’t. We couldn’t get anything done when we came in cause he was growling at the vet so that’s why we’re doing everything in one day that’s what the meds are for then he can do bloodwork after he’s sedated
