The beginning of the year has not been a good one for my little Tiki. She had to stay at the Vet for 4 days and given IVs because of vomiting. The testing revealed a problem with her liver. Now that she is being treated with liver enzymes, special food and supplements, she seems to be thriving and doing well. She has gained most of the weight back that she lost while ill. I was quite worried about her and I am still worried about her health. The vet is going to do another blood test next week to see how she is doing.
The last visit to the vet revealed that she has ingrown eye lashes on both the upper lower eye lids. She also has a lump on her side as well, the vet will remove the lump when he does the eye surgery. She will have to wear a collar again. This time I have ordered a special deluxe more comfortable collar for Tiki.
The insurance is reluctant to pay the claim because we are unable to obtain medical history from the previous vet. While I understand the company's point of view, it is problem for both the company and me. I am more interested in getting previous medical history so the vet may better treat her.
She still is a delight to me and I love to have her here with me. I am greeted at the door with much excitement when I arrive home,while Lacey remains indifferent to my arrival Although Tiki can be stubborn at times when we are walking, for the most part she is very eager to get the exercise. She still uses the pad inside for the potty but she also has some successes outside more often than earlier. She is learning to sit and wait and also to shake a paw. She does better at those commands when I have a treat in hand. She is so cute when she first sees the treat, dancing around on her hind legs.
After these setbacks, I expect that Tiki will remain healthy and continue to thrive.
