how long havent i blogged? i have no idea. so much has happened since monday, & all i can say is that i'm tired physically & mentally. :(
it all started when claudia ang started complaining that peipei was smelly cos she had blood & diahroea (sp????) stuck at her butt. thinking it was her period again, we didnt think it was anything unusual except that the no. 1 lecher JUNIOR wasnt interested in her cos he would be the 1st to follow her & sniff her butt when she has her period. so we washed it off.
but on monday, when i came home frm band, i asked mother ang whether peipei was any better but she wasnt. in fact, she had gotten worse & by then she was looking so haggard & thin cos she wasnt eating. at abt 8++, mother ang got worried cos peipei was juz lying around & not doing anything. so she looked in the phone directory & found a vet that was still open, the Animal Recovery Centre in Balastier Road.
so mother ang called father ang & asked him to fetch us to that vet so that peipei could be treated. at 9.50 pm, me, mother ang & claudia ang went down to the carpark & father ang drove to the clinic. the vet who was ang moh & had damn BIIIIIG eyes, said that peipei has a uterus infection & had to be operated on immediately bcos she was "very very sick." but the operation plus medicine plus consultation came up to S$1200 to S$1500!!
father ang said he wanted to get a 2nd opinion bcos it was too expensive. the vet suggested that we "find another vet quickly bcos if we dont, peipei will die." claudia ang was crying onto peipei's fur.
so we went home. mother ang put peipei in a basket & let her sleep there. peipei had an antibiotic needle stuck in her right front paw. the vet left it there so that it could help her for the time being.
the next morning, tuesday, 6.25 am, me & claudia ang woke up to get ready for sch. we found mother ang sitting at the dining table hugging peipei. she said she didnt sleep the whole night, busy looking after peipei. peipei looked so weak & she was juz lying there without moving. it was getting late, so i went to bathe.
during my shower i thought of the times when peipei jumped about on my bed, wanting to play. abt her sleeping next to me. abt her looking worried whenever anyone cried. that peipei was gone, & now a haggard, weak, thin one has taken her place. i started to cry into my shower foam.
luckily no one saw me when i came out of the shower. i was still crying when i was changing. told myself not to cry when i came out of the room, but didnt do it. mother ang hugged me & said peipei would be all right, but peipei was still lying in a corner on a towel, motionless. claudia ang looked shocked cos i wasnt crying the night before not did i have any expression & now there i was crying my eyes out.
luckily when i reached the interchange i wasnt crying any more, but during the bus trip, during morning assembly, during the 1st period which was a maths, the tears kept brimming at my eyes but somehow i managed to blink them away. was moody & a lot of ppl asked why i looked so bad mood. i said i had a headache, which was PARTLY the truth cos i DID have a headache due to crying & blinking so much.
there was no e maths remedial, thankfully, but it was raining, so i went to jaslin chewww's house to wait for the rain to stop. at 4.50 father ang called me & said he wanted to fetch me to go & see peipei who was at another vet, whose clinic is so near the sch & i can practically walk there. so jaslin chewww walked me back to sch & father ang was early for once. when i saw peipei in a cage at the clinic she was looking better. at least she could sit up & her eyes werent so blurry but were brown. the vet had put her on a drip. almost cried when we left cos peipei looked so scared & lonely at the clinic & she wanted to go home.
the vet said if she looked better she would be having the operation to have her uterus taken out on wednesday. her kidney & liver was also a bit affected due to the infection. luckily this vet's fees werent as high as the one at Balastier.
on wednesday, 10.20 am, mother ang msged me to say that peipei was looking better & the vet was going to operate on her in the afternoon. so after sch me & shih yann went to look at her. juz before i reached the clinic mother ang left. my poor baby looked so tired partly due to the anaesthetic. the vet said she wanted to go home very badly, but she could only go home either on thursday, which is today, or friday. she kept trying to cling onto me so that i could bring her home. shih yann stroked her too & said she looked so pitiful. :( even worse, mother & father ang would be going to Ipoh that night, so mother ang couldnt help me coax peipei into eating her medicine & food!!!!!!!!!!
today i came home early for tuition. maxine ang said the vet had called her & she was going to pick peipei up. after tuition claudia ang & i came home, & we could hear my darling peipei barking away, but she was still a bit dazed.
after dinner i tried to feed her medicine & food but she didnt wanna. ended up forcing pills down her throat & maxine ang syringed (is there such a word anyway??) bits of food & powdered pills down her throat. she kept lying down & sleeping halfway through taking her medicine. finally we succeeded & peipei could get her sleep in mother ang's room where claudia ang & i are sleeping for now cos parents ang are in Ipoh.
junior & cracker are at risk of getting the similar sickness, only theirs is prostate cancer. the vet said all this was caused bcos peipei wasnt sterilized. she also said peipei was strong, as in willpower to live was strong. :)
it's scary when i think of how close i was to losing my baby. somehow i nvr thought that the possibility of losing her could be so soon...
