Marcerella02 - His vet is one of , if not the best in our area, so I don't think a second opinion is going to help me much in this area. She is very thorough and I trust her completely.. she did full blood panels and checked for liver, pancreas and kidney problems but found nothing. She was just as baffled as I was
if not moreso because she's a vet and felt she should KNOW what was wrong.
I still wonder if it were a Strain of Parvo that just didn't get bad because he had been fully vaccinated as he didn't eat a drop nor drink a drop that 3rd day and that's a tell tale sign. The only thing that threw me off was the yelp he made like his tummy was in pain.. I hope it doesn't happen again, that is my biggest fear
If it does I am sure she will be referring us elsewhere. Thanks so much for your reply... I appreciate all the input!
ARCHIE - You must have been terrified, if it were blood I would have totally freaked. It was the worst drive of my life and I just knew he was going to pass out, die or start siezures any second. It was so scary. Weird thing was and even the vet thought it was weird.. is that he was still somewhat SPUNKY, barking at people .. trying to run out of his soft crate and rolling over on his tummy when he saw me
that was why she just "knew" it was an obstruction of some sort. Since there were no signs of really bad illness besides the fact that he was vomiting his life away and a tiny bit tired (most likely due to the vomiting).
I know I will probably never know.. but it helps to hear of others that have had similar situations occur at random or maybe someone has had the same symptoms and got a diagnosis
you never know.
