Update August 9 – Adverse Rabies Vaccine Reaction Relapse

I am exhausted at the cellular and spiritual levels, so just quick notes and one picture. The headline is this: Lilly is about the same, with 2 exceptions. Her fever is down, but so is her heart rate.

Lilly did NOT have her MRI today. Maybe  / probably tomorrow. She is pretty much the same. They’ve added a cardiac med to keep her heart rate from dropping dangerously low.

It was 54 beats per minute this morning.

During our nearly 2 hour visit this afternoon, Lilly did eat some dry and some wet food for me, but she would not drink. I’m not terribly concerned about that because they have her on a fluids IV.

I don’t really have full information on her labs, but it seems her blood work was fine. They did, however, find some protein in her urine. Not sure how that fits in.

With med support, Lilly’s heart rate was between 70-80 while we were visiting. They check it every hour now.

Technically, we’re only supposed to stay 30 minutes, but we climb into her cage, and we don’t bother anyone, so they let us stay longer.

Here is one picture of our cuddlebug in her hospital cage nest.

I did shoot a little video showing how unresponsive she is to my voice, but it’s just too-too sad to show.
