 Elsy's sick
Elsy is alittle over 2 yrs and weighs 3.8lbs. She would not eat anything this morning and was just lying around. This afternoon she had dry heaves and bloody diarrhea. I took her to the vet and he did lab work and said her amalyse was just alittle elevated but all the other labs were fine. She didn't have any abdominal tenderness, no temp and he thought she was well hydrated and didn't need any IV fluids at this point. He thought she could have early pancreatitis. He gave me Flagyl to give her and told me to be sure she drinks and that I could try alittle AD canned food. She did eat it when we got home about 6:30 and did fine but at about 10:00 had another bloody stool. One of my other yorkies had this along time ago and had to stay at the vet (she had an acute case) and I seem to remember that they did not give her any food for 24 hrs to let the GI tract rest. I'm wondering if I need to hold off on the food or is there something better that I can be giving her until she feels better. She has not had any vomiting or any more dry heaves. |
