Скачать или смотреть Chiquis at the vet

First thing, she needs donations, click here to visit her donation page please: https://freeanimaldoctor.org/campaign...

We took her to West Main Animal Hospital in Alhambra, CA to see Dr. Frics. She has already been to Access Vet to see a neurologist, who wants to do an MRI, which is what we are raising money for. Our visit today to Dr. Frics was to see what could be done for her in the meantime, if anything, and to check on her paw and some other issues.

To summarize, there isn't much that can be done for her. Dr Frics gave her an extended prescription of steroid medication. He said her paw is fine. The good news is that he is sure she is not painful. She has something wrong in her neck vertebrae which is causing the partial paralysis, etc... but she is well cared for. She eats, she isn't in pain. So it is not necessary to put her to sleep.

Dr Frics does wonder about the MRI. She is only 1.9lbs and probably cannot survive anesthesia... which would usually preclude an MRI. We will be talking more with Access to find out about this issues.

Her owners are caring for her very well, and they have seen minor improvement with the steroids, so perhaps as they continue, there will be more improvement. But in all likelihood this is about as good as Little Chiquis will get. Though there is the possibility of steroid injections, again with the Neurologist at Access, and we will be looking into that more this week and updating.

Thank you to all the people asking us for an update, and apologies for it taking so long today!
