Overnight, Kodie’s left lymph node began to swell. She appears to have no problem swallowing, or drinking or eating. She is now favoring her other leg so I am waiting for the vet to open so I can take her in…sigh…
Poor Kodie, we thought we were improving her life, not putting her into a bad place.
11:40 a.m.-Kodie has soft tissue damage to her rear leg, her front leg and her neck. She has to have surgery, she has an injury to her salivary gland and the fluid will eventually poison her system. They have to remove the gland. 🙁 I am so angry right now, I can’t even see straight. We can’t afford surgery right now, but there is no other option.
Poor Kodiak! And how disturbing. I’m glad you got her back in time–a few more days could have been too late!
I wonder if the injury is due to something the kids did or if another animal might have hurt her while she was over there. I guess the frustrating thing is that you’ll probably never really know. I would like to think that her injuries were not intentional injuries by humans, though.
I’m so sorry you’re having to make so many trips to the vet! I’m glad there is someone like you out there, though, looking out for the Kodiaks and Charlies of the world.
