マール面会 Visitig Marl

犬舎に入って息が止まりました。「えっ、まさか…」

でも、鼻がブシュブシュしているので口呼吸になっているだけでした。あ〜〜びっくりした😭

When I entered the kennel, I stopped breathing.Oh no ...

But then when I lightly tapped her nose,I realized she was just breathing through her mouth.

Oh Marl,you scared me...

毛布をあげて抱き上げると点滴のラインが取れている。

「a/dだとよく食べてくれるんですよ」と、看護師さんが声をかけてくれた。

「おっ、これは退院なのか？」🤗

When I wrapped her up in a blanket and held her, I found that her IV line had come out.

“If we use a/d, she'll eat for us again”　nurse told me.

“Oh, so that means she'll be discharged?”

でも、なんだか顔が浮腫んでるような気がする。よく見ると後ろ脚もかかとから下がぷよぷよしている…。皮下点滴の後のあのタプタプした感じ。いやな予感………

先生が犬舎に入ってきて「マールちゃん、むづかしいね」。

なんだなんだ、どういう事⁉︎

But something about her seemed swollen, and when I took a closer look, her back foot was all swollen like jelly from the heel to the other end down-all flabby, like she had just finished an IV from under the skin. I had a bad feeling...

The doctor came into the kennel and said that Marl has been a difficult case.

...What do you mean by that??

輸液を止めたのはやはり浮腫が出たから。でも、腎臓が悪くておしっこが作れなくなってしまったわけではないらしい。確かに敷物におしっこの跡がある。ゴハンも充分な量ではないけど食べている。じゃあなんなのか？？？

The reason they to stop the transfusion was because of the swelling as I suspected, but on the other hand, it wasn't like she was unable to produce urine because her kidneys were bad-there were signs of urine on the mat. She's eating, even not as much as we'd like.

So what's the issue???

粘液水腫ではないかと。

Myxedema, they suspected.

粘液水腫とは、甲状腺機能低下症で身体の代謝機能が落ち込むことにより、体内の水分が代謝されずにあちこちに留まることから起こる浮腫が重症となったものです。

Myxedema is a serious condition when the thyroid glands become under-active due to hypothyroidism, which causes swelling from the body being unable to metabolize liquids properly.

The liquids then get deposited all over.

マーくん甲状腺機能低下症だったの？

Marl,you had hypotyroidism?

そういえば 低体温だった

そういえば 尻尾がネズミの尻尾のようだった

そういえば じっと丸くなっている事が多かった

You know, she had a low body temperature and a mouse-like tail, and frequently curled up into a tight ball...

低体温と脱毛は年齢的なものだと思ってた

動き回らないのは気管支炎と心臓病で呼吸が苦しいからだと思ってた

しまった、どうして気がつかなかったんだろう。ヘコ、テリー、レオン、シーちゃん、甲状腺機能低下症の子はたくさん見てるのに…

I figured that her low body temperature and hair loss were due to her age...

I figured that she wasn't moving around because of bronchitis and heart disease making it difficult to breathe...

Damn it, why hadn't I noticed this sooner. Many of my babies have had hypotyroidism, like Heco, Terry, Leon, and Shii-chan...

いや、まだ粘液水腫と決まったわけじゃない

No, it's still not certain that it's myxedema.

いやいや、甲状腺機能低下症ならチラーヂンでよくなるんじゃないか？

And so okay, even if it is hypotyroidism, giving Tyradin can cure it, right?

頭の中でいろいろな事がグルグル回って軽いパニック

I was set off in a light panic with a whole mess of things spinning around in my head.

その後、先生とお話ができなかったのでどんな治療になるのか聞く事は出来ませんでした😣

I wasn' able to speak with the doctor afterwards to hear what kind of treatment they would give her.

マーくん、明日も行くからね。

待っててね

Marl, I'm coming again tomorrow, don't you worry.Wait for me.
