A long story made short...we decided to feed a commercial raw diet.(all organic and chemical and grain free) Fed turkey to both Roxy and Mystique on Wed.
On Thursday both got sick. Mystique (she is back to herself today).... was not as bad as Roxy and was actually feeling not too bad last night after I treated her with a few things to stop the diareah and help with the nausea.
Roxy was a bit loose then started passing blood in her stool. Call into vet..tried a few suggestions. By nine we had her into the emergency vet, passing lots of blood and vomiting it too. Vet said she figures it is salmonella poisoning. She was not dehydrated yet thank heavens and she got treated promptly with antibiotics, a med to coat her intestines and a medication for nausea and vomiting. Today she seems better but is very lethargic still and weak. She is drinking and eating (baby rice pablum and baby food plain chicken meat) She ate 2 big tsps of it and kept it all down.She has been out and did a couple pees now. I have contacted the holistic pet store where we got the product and am waiting to hear what the company has to say. Have to say that I was not overly impressed with the stores attitude..they were covering thier butts first and showed little to concern about how she is doing.
Roxy could use some good thoughts.
