Thoughts for Kenzie

Good Morning Friends. This isn’t exactly the sort of post that I am going to be syndicating but also since this blog often acts as therapy… I am going to talk about it. This is Kenzie, she is my partner in crime and has been my baby since we rescued her in 2014. She is not doing well and as soon as the vet opens I will be taking her there this morning. Saturday and Sunday she acted like her normal mess of a self, and then starting Monday she was extremely lethargic showing no real interest in food. Yesterday we called and were able to make an appointment for this morning, but I am scared to death that I did not make the right call and should have tried to find pet urgent care yesterday.

She is not doing well this morning. It seems like everything takes a lot of effort for her to do. I made her a water dish so that she didn’t have to go far for water, and she ended up knocking it over this morning. She relocates periodically and seems to be moving okay when this happens, but it is like she has no energy at all. I am scared to death as to what might be going on, and thinking we should have taken her somewhere sooner. This morning she has her appointment so I guess I kept telling myself that we already had that and that she would be okay until then. Her breathing isn’t labored and if you did not know that she was in normally constant motion, you would think she was just tired.

I just want my baby girl to be okay. she has a lot of complications and some years back she developed diabetes. So I give her insulin every morning and evening through one of those clicky pens. That could be getting worse and I noticed she had been losing some weight, which was what had accompanied when we needed to increase her dosage last time. We needed to get her into the vet anyway but life has just been rough lately. I am scared that I fucked up and that my indecision will have caused permanent damage. This is a deeply personal post, but I would greatly appreciate it if you keep her in your thoughts today. Now that I have finished with this I will be bundling her up in the carrying cage and taking her to the vet hoping and praying that maybe just maybe they can help her out.

  1. Sending positive vibes. I hope they find a simple issue that then can address without any fuss.

    We’ve had our Lola to emergency care 3 times in the last 10 days. Thankfully she is finally stable (pending full results from a visit to her regular vet yesterday) but it was a scary and traumatizing week+ for all of us.

  2. Checked her in safely to the vet. Spent awhile talking to the nurse and explaining everything that had been going on. They are still on Covid protocols, so drop off only but are going to take care of her today. I pre-authorized basically everything short of surgery. Expecting to hear from the doctor sometime around 9 am.
