My Holly Belle (2 year old) is having similar symptoms to the ones in this post. She was fine when I left for work this AM. My sons called saying she was making whining noises. This is not like her, she is one of the spunkiest little dog I've ever seen. I came home from work to check her out and her tummy was very tight and tender. I immediately felt it was probably a reaction to meds (Prednisone and Amoxicillin) her vet had put her on a week ago for skin allergies. I took her out and she had a normal bowel movement, seemed to feel better so I left her with my college age son and went back to work. When I got off work, her tummy once again was hard and tender when you tried to pick her up and on top of that she was shaking. But, once we went outside she seemed normal, barking and letting the neighbors know she is the boss. We came back in, she vomitted some clear fluid with a little piece of plastic (like a sandwich baggie). She is very curious, and goat like, we have no idea where or what she got into if she even did. The boys and I search the house looking for evidence and found nothing. I was scared to death, thinking she probably ingested something and obstructed her intestines. Of course, by this time it was after hours at the vet so I who I contacted was not my regular vet. He assured me she had stomach discomfort and it was not life threatening nor critical. He instructed me to give her 2.5mg pepcid. I am still so scared that something is going to happen to my Holly Belle. Tonight she is still pretty much the same, hard belly that hurts her when we try to pick her up. She won't leave my side. But, she is eating (bland diet according to Vet), drinking, urinating and has had a bowel movement tonight. Should I be worried? Has anyone had anything like this to happen and if so how long did it last? |
