Gorby's struggle against his disease -3

手術のための入院の後の、入院のそのまた次の日からの入院の日々が始まった。ヘパリンの早期注射と点滴、抗生剤の注射でDICは制圧出来たが、なぜ腎臓機能低下、貧血、低血糖になるのか、原因が解らなかった。検査をしたくてもごるびーの容態があまりに悪かったため、できなかった。

The quick treatment put the DIC under control. Glad that I took him that day... Then we were concentrating on containing blood septic poisoning with further antibiotic and intravenous. Still it was unknown about the cause of his kidney failure and anemia...

そこの病院ではお見舞いに行く度、しばらくごるびーと過ごさせてもらえた。その度にスケッチをした。

The vet let me stay with Gorby quite a long hour and I was able to draw him in the veterinary hospital.

レントゲン検査の結果、小心症の症状が現れた事が解った。目の手術をするためにステロイド剤の投与量をかなり急なスピードでさげてゼロにしたのが原因かもしれないとの事。小心症をおこすのは副腎皮質機能低下症のためで治療にはステロイドの投与が大事になるが、敗血症の治療を優先させ、そちらが良くなった時点でステロイドの投与をしようとのプランがたてられた。

Later we discovered that Gorby developed microcardia ( probably the speed of decreasing the amount of steroid dosage was too rapid and that triggered this symptom) to cure microcardia is to give steroid but at that time his blood was not cured fully so we had to wait until that time. A few days later when steroid was given, his hart returned to normal size.

火曜日にはそこは休診日だったけれど、強制給餌をしていた時にごるびーがてんかん発作をおこしたため、スタッフが夜中に駆けつけてくれ、血液検査と応急処置をしてくれた。

On Tuesday he had an epileptic while he had forced feeding by a staff who was in charge of that time. This hospital was closed that day but this fact was told the director of the veterinary hospital and he then came to the hospital to check up his condition otherwise Gorby was supposed to be left there alone in a cage until next morning. The blood test done that midnight showed aggravation. So he ( and other staff members) took prompt measure. Thank that he survived that night for this irregular and crucial care.

翌日、ごるびーの血液の濃さがあまりに低くなったため、スタッフの方のにゃんこにドナーになってもらい、輸血してもらった。

His kidney level became worse, the white blood cell has declined so he had blood transfusion to improve his blood level and to get a little bit more time to check up and to find the real cause of the disease.

ごるびーが強制給餌の時や注射の処置をしようとする時にてんかん発作をおこすようになり、危険なため、餌やりと点滴ができなくなってしまった。

そして、その日ごるびーはもしや貧血や腎臓機能障害は全身性エリトマトーデスSLEなのではないかとの診断をされた。

He started to have an epileptic fit while he had forced feeding, so the staff members were anxious... They couldn't feed him as much as he was supposed to.

Later he was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus.
