Little Saffron's Sepsis is NOT gone!

(1/3) > >>

Hickory Springs:
 :-[Hi everyone...
Here is an update on little Saffron who got Sepsis her second week of life. She was doing great on the two different antibiotics that our vet, Ashley put her on.
On Tuesday this week, we knew that it would be her last day covered by the long acting meds, and that evening Saffron spiked a fever of 102, so we immediately put a call in to our vet and she told us to give her Banamine. Unfortunately, the Sepsis is still in her system and Ashley arrived on Wednesday morning first thing to give her another long acting shot. Saffron is now resting comfortably and the fever is gone. We will give her another long acting shot next week and go from there.
As you can imagine we are stressed about this horrible illness. Ashley believes that Chelsea, Saffron's mama did not have adequate amounts of Colostrum for her baby and that this compromised Saffron's health. We will keep everyone posted.
Thanks for your caring.
Debbie

OMG!!  Praying for this little one.  Just got home from vacation, and this is NOT the news I wanted to see/hear.

Yes, colostrum is the key, and praying she will pull through this quickly and begin the road to health.   ;pray ;pray ;pray

I'm so glad that she's doing better and praying for you that the 2nd shot helps.

Ryan:
So sorry that this returned, hopefully now that she has had the second shot she will continue to improve.

Poor little girl , thank goodness the fever has gone  ;pray
