Brady Update So after our trip to the vet a week ago for his cough, we ended up back at the vet Saturday morning. He is now on more meds than I am which is saying something.
Friday we noticed he was acting kind of strange. Out of the blue he would just start whining at us for no apparent reason. We tried to see if he wanted to go outside, wanted food, cuddling, playtime, etc. He wanted none of it. He also kept going and laying in his kennel which is very odd for him. That night when we put him in his kennel for the night he whined a lot. He normally has no problem with sleeping in his kennel so me being the softie I am, I moved him to our bed where he immediately curled up right against me. This was also unusual as when he does sleep with us on occasion he usually sleeps at the foot of the bed.
Saturday morning about 2 am he woke my husband up vomiting. S immediately cleaned it up and took him outside where he had diarrhea. This continued the rest of the night, and by 8 am he had vomited 5 times with multiple episodes of diarrhea. We called the vet who worked us into their Saturday morning schedule. They were concerned about pancreatitis given the amount of vomiting and diarrhea as well as the general change in demeanor. We had not offered any food, but even if we had he was not interested in it or water and he just laid there in his kennel looking pathetic. All the tests came back negative and the vet decided to pursue a course of anti-biotics, anti-nausea meds, and anti-diarrhea meds to try and get the bacteria in his gastro-intestinal tract rebalanced. The best explanation he had is that Brady ate something.
I'm now trying to figure out what the Bug ate and for the life of me can't figure it out. His attitude is back to normal and he is eating, but we are having trouble getting him to drink or even go outside to try and potty/poop. Should I be concerned? |
