We were at the vetclinic again this morning with this little mousie as her fever came up again hitting the 40 s.
Just to be on the safe side, although I knew she could have these fevers, due to the infestation of parasites.
Regarding the remarks on FB : To explain it as simple as I can, parasites attack the immunesystem of the body and that is one of the reasons why we have to deworm/deparasite our animal on a regular basis.
As an example: a puppy is deparasited before we vaccinate it as parasites cause a lower immunesystem and so we want the animal to be free of parasites and have a stronger immunesystem before you vaccinate it which would also lower the immunesystem.
The same is here, before any operation you want the animal to have the best and strongest immunesystem, and therefor your vets want you to deworm your animals on a regular basis.
Sometimes, like in this case there is no time to wait till the animal is topfit again : in this case repairing that leg was more urgent than all the rest as the bones start the healingproces immediately and you don t have the time to deworm and then wait for another week for the immunesystem to recuperate.
Sometimes you HAVE to make a CHOICE : in this case there was no choice... As the other vet where she was first did not deworm her or do anything for that matter: The OP simply had to be done a.s.a.p. and therefor I made the decision to have that OP already on Monday although that day the old owner still would have had a say.
This dog is getting al the necessary help and much more... she is not a single moment alone, I have done several veterinarion courses, I am a qualified photonic practitioner and I have certificates as a dogtrainer and -dogpsycho. I therefor cover both situations: the physical and the mental.
When the fever comes up she gets some ice wrapped in between the legs and under the ingle.
She received antibioticshots of Synulox yesterday and today apart from other medication
