Poor Meddy! I am sure you are very worried about him. I wish i could tell you what is going on with him but from the medications you list it sounds like something is wrong with his liver. If he received a blood transfusion then this means he was anemic (low red count). The pictures you show are of a common intravenous fluid solution to maintain hydration, an antibiotic, and a sugar solution (which is often given if the blood sugar is low). It sounds like your vet is working hard to help him. As all of these are supportive medications the really important thing will be finding out why this is happening. I assume you took him to the vet because he was sick and he was placed on these medications to treat him. If this is not the case and he developed sickness after starting a medication then report this to your vet right away. It sounds like Meddy needs more tests to figure this out. Do you have access to any veterinary specialists in your area, such as an internal medicine specialist? If not, you could talk to your vet about he or she getting a phone consult with a specialist to help with the case. I hope this helps and the Meddy feels better soon!
