| HELP! vomiting, shaking & panting- No reason for symptoms I posted before, but the message disappeared??? Our 2 year old Roxy Girl woke us up at 6oam shaking, and panting. (NOT a seizure) She is a mess. She will not leave my side. At one point I could not find her and she was hiding in my closet on top of the uncomfortable shoes - something she has never done before. I read in another thread that the shaking and panting are a sign she is in pain. I wish she could talk and tell us what is wrong. Roxy does have a history of seizures since she had been 2 months old, but they are totally under control. She takes Phenbarb. twice a day. She just had her levels checked and they were fine. So I don't think this is related to that at all. Plus she has never acted this way before. She has vomited yellow bile one time. My 10 year old son can't stop crying, and to top it all off I called the vet to take her in and found out my vet (a partner) left the practice! The other vet said he is very busy but I can drop her off and he will see her as soon as he can!!I will not leave her, she is going through enough! I am taking her to a different vet who said we can come in at 3:00pm. It is only 1:30 now one hour until we leave. If anyone has ever been through this please tell me! Roxy Girl's Mom Maria |

| I feel for you. I can't help but I hope your 3:00 appointment comes fast. Don't you just wish they could tell us what was wrong? It does sound like she might be in pain. Have you checked her out good like her paws, ears, mouth etc. Maybe she stepped on something or a tooth is hurting. Sorry I'm not more help but finger's crossed that the vet finds the problem. Good luck, |

| Yes, I have checked everything on Roxy. I pray it is something small and harmless. She is really doing bad though. I have to stay calm for my son because he is freaking out! Roxy is in between my feet right now. She has NEVER done this in her life. She must be in terrible pain. Roxy's mom Maria |

| The vet took us right in which was very nice. Roxy has a fever. The vet said heart & lungs sound fine. Took a lot of blood to check her liver enzimes, white and red blood cells, etc. So of course I really know nothing more than she may or may not have an infection. They sent me home with antibiotics and I have to wait for the test results. When my son asked the vet if everything is OK she said, "Lets hope so." Oh boy. Roxy refuses to eat now. Not even eggs. She did drink water though. This really stinks. Roxy's Mom Maria |

| I hope the blood work comes back quick. Did he have even a clue as to what could be wrong with her? Poor Roxy. I hope she feels better soon. |

| No clue. It seems she (it was a woman vet) didn't want to take a guess until the bloodwork comes back. She did coment on the Phenbarb. having side effects on the liver which I never heard. But would that cause a fever, shaking, panting? Who knows? I hope that the results come ASAP. It's very frustrating. Oh, I gave her the antibiotic when we got home. My husband just yelled that she threw up again. He said he didn't see the pill in it. I wonder if she is going to be alright. I wonder if I should take her to the hospital. Roxy's Mom Maria |

| Wish I could be of more help to you. Hopefuly the pill disinagrated and got into her blood stream before she threw up so she has the meds in her. I guess the best thing to do is keep a close watch on her and made the decision to take her to the hosp if anything else occurs. The meds need to kick in. Could she have gotten into anything poisonious? Hope the night is a good one. |

| If it were me and I were that concerned....yes, I would take her to the hospital. I'd rather be safe than sorry. Sure hope they figure out what's going on soon.

| Call Stafford Vet 609-597-7571 Hey. I'm in S. Jersey too and I've been a client of Stafford Vet for over 10 years. They are excellent. Ask to see Dr. VandenBrock, Dr. Hurley or Dr. Zerbe. Tell them that I reccomended you and they should get you right in. They are the best in Ocean County. They are located in Manahawkin NJ on Rt. 9. 609-597-7571. Tell them you only want to see one of these three vets. All Three are EXCELLENT. Good luck. Elaine |

| Thanks for the vet recommendation. I live in Atlantic County, 5 minutes from Ocean City. If worse comes to worse I guess I could drive up there. I would rather stay close, though. The vet I just went to was 20 minutes away in Mays Landing. Not too bad of a drive, but I wasn't crazy about the Dr. I guess because I just wanted an answer as to what is causing the behavior Thanks for your concern. |
