VISIT TO THE VET 2

Robin just came back from the clinic.
We still do not know what is happening inside his body.
and he was diagnosed with jaundice today. =(
took another blood test to find out if there is anything wrong with his liver.
his blood test result will only be out tomorrow
so more medication to eat for now..

we also found out more about the blood transfusion from the vet.
the donor dog has to undergo anaesthesia-induced sleep. which would involve a risk for the dog itself.
the transfusion plus everything including hospitalisation would cost ard $800.
looking at rehomers for help now shd he need a transfusion.

He appeared more alert today.
being able to walk about, we felt quite hopeful for him.
his appetite has been good. and his bowels are ok too.
although he still tires out easily and sleeps a lot.

have to go NTUC to buy Dettol and some sanitizers, bec jaundice is contagious!
abit worried for dear Ray.. going to be a hygiene freak soon!

would be scanning in the bill in a separate post. :)
