I've heard but was not sure exactly...
I usually hear this when assisting with ultrasound on kitty cat.
one of those thing that I can remember 2/3 what is one other thing??
-Triaditis-
Pancreatitis
IBD
Hepatopathy
badness, badness, badness!!
エリザベスカラー
言葉の通じない動物相手にどうにか舐めてはいけないとか、こすっちゃいけないって 伝えられないものですかね・・・。
以前私の猫が目の病気をした時、どうしてもエリザベスカラーが必要になり 順調に治ってくれなくて エリザベスカラーを着けている期間が延びて
こうなりました。
便秘です。
Enema もだめでした、
Lactulose の効果を待つ時間がありませんでした（先生の判断ですが）
この状態になった頃には 食べても吐き、飲んでも吐き、
猫らしいというか、なんというか・・・。 エリザベスカラーのせいでここまでなる犬はいないんじゃないかなと思います。
（便秘だけじゃないです。トイレを外し 猫トイレの外でおしっこ。 ストレスためて食欲が落ち、 イライラを他の猫にぶちまけて、いろんな所にぶつかり歩き、怪我をしそうになったり・・・。）
麻酔をかけて、出しました。 （目の手術のが続いていた時ででこれを含めこの週３回目の麻酔でしたできれば避けたかったです）
誰か、エリザベスカラーに変わる発明をお願いします！
部位によっては、やわらかい素材のエリザベスカラーを使うことはできますが、守りたいのが目であった場合あまりよく働きませんでした。
なぜこう・・・ 看護師のペットには不運が付いてくるのでしょうかね？
Make story short, one of my cat had Feline corneal sequestrum.
He had superficial keratectomy. Problem should ended there but, off course!
Technician’s animals are special! It was complete removal of affected area however, disease came back on same spot 3 months later.
He went under another surgery, this time it was too deep in the cornea that ophthalmologist was not able to remove all of it. He removed what he can and did pedicle graft on cornea. Problem should ended there but….
What ever the reason, his cornea did not like sutures or graft, it did not adhere on to cornea. 3 days later he had another surgery. It was to place another pedicle graft.
I was expecting happy ending but, no not yet!
About a week from surgery, graft was coming off again. At this time, Chibita was living with E-collar for few months, started to miss litter box, became extremely constipated that he could not keep food down and started vomit few times a day. After no successes with enema, I had to put him under anesthesia to get his stool out of him. It became obvious that he had been under stress for a long time.
I visited ophthalmologist again and started to talk about enucleation. Right a way Dr said, its not time yet! Lets wait and see how cornea heals. Then perform another graft. I was not sure about that plan but, he is the ophthalmologist, I believed that he knew what was the best for Chibita.
After that last visit with ophthalmologist, Chibita became more and more uncomfortable with that eye. He was hiding, depress, not eating, he was very painful.
I tried to contact Dr 2 times, left message with hospital staff. I did not get any response from him.
I asked Dr at my work to enucleate his left eye, and this time for sure ended his eye problem.
I was very frustrated with this ophthalmologist. But, I gave him little bit of doubt that maybe his staff did not relay message to him, that's why he did not returned my call! So, I wrote him saying that Chibita’s eye was enucleated and I really wanted to consult him before I made that difficult decision. He never reply to my letter either.
I can not help to think but, this is all because he has giving me great deal of discount for his work. If I was just regular client to him maybe he dealt differently. I was prepare to pay for service but when he offered me discounted price, I was appreciative and gladly took his generosity. I don’t think it made any difference to what happened to Chibita but, I sure have ugly feeling left about this situation.
So I learned, I must pay for my service!! If I’m not satisfied with service, at least I get to say so!!
*Town I live in does not have ophthalmologist, nearest one is 2.5 hours away. My hospital refer clients to this Dr. all the time.
I thought, I was making story short but that didn't happen!! I feel digested.... and i'll remember my lesson
