I'm still wondering what the next step will be. The vet said we could do an x-ray and see if there is a foreign object in his stomach. We could do barium? He also suggested a exploratory and he could take a biopsy. Another option is sending us to a specialist in San Francisco or Sacramento.
He asked me the same thing he asked me the last two times this happened. Am I sure he didn't get into any rat poison. I have never put any out in the house. He and Marley are never left out in the yard without me being there. I did catch Pippin trying to pick up a hornet tonight, and he dropped it and I stepped on it. He has done that before. I wish I had thought of that when I talked to the vet. Could he have gotten stung before? Could it have put poison in his system.
I wish Pippin could talk. He could tell me how he feels.
I thought of giving him some pumpkin, but I forgot to ask the vet if it mattered tonight. When he went potty this morning and last night his stool was normal. I don't understand how things can change so drastically.
I read that if they throw up blood it's in the small intestine, and if they pass blood it is in the large intestine. He went from one to the other. What does that mean? I wish it was day time so I could ask the vet more questions or have him examine Pippin. |
Hoping for good news on Pippin and i hope you got some rest, yes it would be wonderful if they could tell us what is bothering them. hopefully they will know soon what is wrong. prayers for you & Pippin
