Meet Frisky! She is a 13 year old Jack Russell Mix who came to us on 2024-03-30 all the way from Louisville, Kentucky. Her senior momma passed away and her granddaughter reached out to us.
Frisky has had a rough couple of weeks. She is visually impaired but seemed to be doing good the first couple days we had her. But then she stopped eating, started vomiting and was very lethargic. We took her to our vet, Dr. Watkins. Frisky started walking in circles in the exam room and kept putting herself in corners and up against the walls. It appeared she had some sort of vestibular event. She also had ulcers on both eyes, double ear infections and a couple days later, HGE (bloody diarrhea). We have been treating her with meds for all of her conditions. She is getting better! Ulcers are healed except there’s scar tissue from a previous injury. Her stool is normal and she’s gone from not eating to being fed with a syringe to eating on her own like a champ! We honestly thought we were going lose her, but she put her rally cap on and is doing great! Thank goodness. We feel most of her issues were brought on by trauma and stress.
Thank you to Dr. Watkins at VCA Companion Animal Medical Center for taking such great care of her!
