This evening I heard her vomit and went to clean it up and it was very smelly so I thought maybe she ate poop because I just cleaned up a tiny piece and thought their should be more, 15 minutes later she vomited it again, and again and again and didn't stop. I know she didn't get into anything and this morning she had steamed chicken and her kibble and a baby carrot. I called my husband at work he works the afternoon shift and I have a visual disability so I'm unable to drive to hurry and get someone in to take his place and come so we to take her to the ER VET. By the time he came home she had vomited very hard over 20 times and now their was blood in the vomit I crying as I write this I'm so scared for her. We took her to the after hours place my vet recommends. They took her temp and she had none but shot out bloody diarrhea all over when he pulled it out. They did blood work and x-rays and came back in to tell me she was really sick, her stomach and intestines were inflamed and she had more bloody diarrhea while they were taking the test and more vomiting. The blood work they their was no infection but the she was severely dehydrated sometime about about normal was in the 20's and she was in the 60's and 65 was critical. They started an IV and and going to give her some medications and they kept her. He couldn't figure out what's going on with the tests he took and hopes it isn't anything the other can get. Please say a prayer for my baby. Has anyone had their dog go down so quickly like this when they were fine a few hours before? He said they could do test for pancreas, and liver when the get her to stop vomiting. She's was only 5.5 lbs so he said she could go down fast.
Did your vet do an x ray. It is amazing how much can be determined by an xray. I had a problem recently and went to 4 vets until finally found one that did an xray that got us on the right track. My prayers and thoughts are with you. I am so sorry for you and your little one.
