[QUOTE="Deabrua, post: 2035432, member: 101824"] Update: They found no issues with her lungs and she has not shown wheezing/coughing or anything since Sunday morning. White blood cell count is lower than normal. They want to put her on antibiotics due to the low white blood cell count. Ultrasound showed floating fluid in her body cavity that may be really old eggs that she's struggling to reabsorb. If she hasn't improved within a few weeks, they want to proceed with an exploration surgery that they said would likely result in a spay. Aren't surgeries / spays extremely dangerous for them? Update 2: she's basking again Update 3: anti-inflammatory is 1.5mg/mL meloxicam given 0.16mL every other day totaling 7 doses. Anti-biotic is 240mg/5mL SMZ TMP given 0.2mL daily totaling 14 doses. No cancer cells found. Almost every mention of these meds be it from other vets discussing dosages online, research articles, or forum posts from owners mention dosage on Meloxicam no higher than 0.2mg/kg. This is 0.5mg/kg. This greatly concerns me. [/QUOTE]
