Sissi is a 12 y/o york shire terrier, she weighs around 8.81 pounds, not neutered. She developed breast cancer around three years ago and has tumors all over her chest and stomach. I had to take her to the vet yesterday, because her stomach is huge, very dilated and she can barely walk (started around 3 days ago), well she only stands up to go pee, . She was diagnosed with a life threatening UTI and the vet wanted to do surgery on that same day to remove her uterus, informing me that the infection might spread to the blood and due to the size of her ovaries, they might rupture. So this is really an emergency and I don´t know what to do, because she is suffering so much. Should I do surgery or does she still have a chance?
She hasn´t eaten in 3-4 days now and I´m trying to give her apple juice, Celery juice, wildblueberry juice with a syringe, but as you can imagine I cannot give her enough, it´s a struggle to make her eat what is in the syringe. I´m giving her vitamin C from vimergy and normally I sprinkle a bit on top of her food but today I tried giving half a capsule because her condition is so bad. I´m also incorporating olive leaf (nature´s answer), not sure how much I should give her. Today I gave her one dropperful but is that too much? The other day I gave her 3 drops. I´m still waiting for the pau dárco to arrive, also from nature´s answer, so 2 ml contain 2000mg, so how much should I give her of that?
You also mentioned adding cranberry capsules, so how much of that?
You asked if there is anything that motivates her, no not really, well only to go pee, but she used to get crazy over going outside but she is too weak for that. Food doesn´t interest her anymore...
For the last few months there have been up and downs with her health and energy, but she was able to make progress, on some days she had a lot of energy, she also received an epilepsy diagnosis years ago, but a few months in after changing her diet to what medical medium recommends for dogs, she stopped having epilepsy, the last episode, if I remember correctly was December. She also had high anxiety in specific situations, hotspots but those have improved as well.
She got the necessary vaccination when she was young but she hasn´t received any for a long time now and I don´t want her too.
I try my best to give her only organic produce and meat but I cannot give her the amount of bone marrow she needs and not a lot of variety when it comes to fruits, as we don´t have a lot to choose from. What I typically give her in the morning is celery juice and now I try to incorporate wild blueberry juice, followed by raw beef/chicken with a mix of apples and cucumbers, I try to add the supplements, so 3 drops of Vimergy´s B12 and 1 drop Zinc, a sprinkle of flaxseed meal, a little bit of Barley grass juice powder and a sprinkle of Vitamin C. I don´t always give all of those supplements in one meal, but distribute them in 2 separate meals. Then as snack I give her apples, because that is what she loves. For dinner I give her sometimes the same as she had for lunch, sometimes I give her meat separately but in order for her to eat the fruit mix, there has to be some meat in there. I have also given her steamed sweet potato as well, but because she is very sick I´m sticking to raw foods only. I received olive leaf and waiting for the pau darco to incorporate those as well.
Sissi was playing with me last week and everything seemed "fine" until 3-4 days ago, but now all of her energy is gone. What can I do? Is it too late for her?
