Well, it looks like I've jinxed things in the last post when I said Bryson's all better.
He's not better. In fact he looked terrible all weekend...
Not only was his listless and hiding from us again as soon as the steroid wore off, he was trembling from head to toe and nothing we did could console him. Poor baby looked like he was in a lot of pain. We just felt so helpless when he looked at us with those sad puppy eyes pleading for us to do something, and yet we didn't know how to help him.
We checked him everywhere, couldn't find anything, and the "hot spot" that we thought was the culprit has already healed. We tried giving him treats, hugs, toys, old pain medicine... nothing seemed to really help. I googled all night looking for clues. A thousand different possibilities- everything from a simple urinary tract infection to some deadly neurologic disease ran through my head... I totally worried myself sick. It breaks my heart to even lay eyes on his little trembling body, it just makes me cry (the pregnancy hormones aren't helping either).
We took him to the vet today, and even the vet was stumped (not the most reassuring thing to hear). They ran a bunch of tests, and was told that we'll get the results tomorrow or Wednesday. "Tomorrow or Wednesday" couldn't come soon enough...
I almost felt guilty for going to our baby shower and celebrate when he was in such bad shape. But I'm glad I did, being surrounded by everyone who loved and cared about us so much definitely help me feel more positive. The party planning committee- Auntie Aimee, Auntie Van and Auntie Rita put together such a fabulous party I can't even begin to describe it here... I think I'll just post the pix when I get them and you'll see what lucky girls (me + baby) we are...
Here's just one example of the many brilliant ideas they had (Auntie Aimee designed and gocco'd the book plate, and every guest who brought a baby book gets to write a message to our baby. Isn't that so neat?)
By the way, this is Auntie Van's message in the Dr. Seuss book "It's Not Easy Being a Bunny".
I'll keep you all posted about Bryson when we hear back from the vet. Wish us luck.
