πΎ Lucky isn't feeling so lucky π
Today I took Lucky to Animal Mama Siem Reap because her teet haematoma, which she was previously diagnosed with, had become incredibly swollen, sore and very concerning.
It looked like it had exploded. There was blood on the ground, and Lucky was constantly licking it β a clear sign that she is uncomfortable and in pain.
They do worry its a mammory tumor.
But the biggest concern right now is her bloodwork. Sadly, her results are not good.
Lucky has mild hypoalbuminemia, elevated creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, indicating mild azotemia, and a slight increase in amylase. The vets need to stabilise her before they can safely do anything further with her teet.
For now, she needs IV fluids to rehydrate her body, and we will take things from there.
The heartbreaking part is that when Lucky was last at the vet, around 18 months ago, she was desexed and her blood work was good.
Itβs horrible to see how much things have changed for her in such a short time. π
Please keep Lucky in your thoughts as we work with the vets to get her stable and find out exactly what she needs.
