Schataje update
Schataje Home from the Hospital
Schataje just got home after spending 24 hours at the vet. While there, she was on fluids and special medicines to help stabilize her kidneys and rebalance her electrolytes. The vet tech taught me how to put the needle in her and make saline go under her skin. For the first month, we have to do 100cc everyday. Hopefully Keith or Jon or someone more mechanically inclined will help me rig up a semi-permanent hook for the fluid bag and line.
Despite all the discomforts of her present situation, Schataje thinks she hit the jackpot because now she has doctor-ordered soft food for every meal, just what she always wanted.
I have also decided to let her have free reign to the outdoors during the daytime (not at night though!). Since she only has a little bit of time left, she should enjoy it. And I am not worried about cars or anything anymore since, well, she only has a little time left anyway. Fortunately, the apartment has a cat door, which she taught herself how to use long ago in the hopes of actually being able to go out through it. Well, wishes come true Schataje, you can go out as much as you want now!
Schataje is happy to be home and promptly hissed at Tala and swatted at Spencer, at least things with her siblings are back to normal.
