The shot scare was more the fact I was upset I'd likely waisted the medicine I'd given her and hadn't helped her any. I did better by the third shot I had to give her but it was a nightmare. My mother kinda laughed at me because she's diabetic and told me I should've waited for her help but Mira was pretty out of it and I just wanted to get the medicine in her as soon as possible. I'm glad I got what I could in and got food in her too because that was a big scare as well. I know she's not dehydrated because she's pooping and peeing regularly. She's just not able to move and function right... So I'm glad I tried sooner than waiting til later.TCRanch":1zm30s2k said:You've done all you possibly can; she may surprise you and pull through. First time giving shots is horrible but you'll never learn if you don't do it - it gets waaay easier. BTW no judgment here! My BFF got way too attached to a twin steer, somewhat similar situation. Norm is now 8; he'll live out his life on that ranch as a pet/yard art.LizHartley1991":1zm30s2k said:I'm a bleeding heart. Animals and little kids tug at my heart strings and I just get attached really hard... I don't mean to. I just do. And my dad said the same thing and said I should just look at her as a hamburger that moves but that's not my nature... I know they're not people. But I don't like seeing anyone or anything suffer. I always have to try as much as I can...Rafter S":1zm30s2k said:Good luck. We're all rooting for you. To be honest, I don't generally get that emotionally invested in animals, but on the other hand I don't make any judgments about those that do (until they start equating them with people, at least). Be sure to keep the updates coming.
But thank you for the rooting and luck. At this point that's all it is now. Luck and Mira. I named her Mira(cle) for a reason. Maybe it'll work for her? All I can do is hope now.
