Yesterday I got a call from my mother saying Keoki was sick- we have been staying with her because my dad recently passed away- She said she was taking him to the vet- The vet checked him and said he was fine and sent him home. I drove back from NYC and saw how sick my baby was and immediately rushed him to the emergency vet. It turns out my mom had put Preen a weed killer all over the backyard where the dogs are out- she has been out of it since my dads passing but none of the vets or poison control think that could have done this although i am a bit skeptical. At the emergency vet they drew blood, took x-rays and called animal poison control. The vet thought it could be a stomach problem and sent him home with amoxicillan and they gave him an iv and pain meds- this entire time he had a fever and
shivers and shakes ( from the time I got home). I have never seen my baby sick. We got home from the ER vet at 2 am and at 7am i woke up and he seemed worse- did not urinate, have a bowel movement, want to eat, get out of bed or even lift his head and still shaking. I decided to take him to his vet which is 2 and a half hours way from my mom. They checked his blood and did a sonogram- it looks like he tested a faint positive for lymes and the sonogram showed his spleen was enlarged ( they said it could be from toxicity) and his liver and pancreas did not look great but said we will know at 9 am as soon as his blood panel comes back. Since we got home today my boy has been sleeping, still shivering from time to time, barely eating and has only pee peed when i make him wake up. They gave me the option to bring him back to the emergency vet for fluids this eve but i feel like he is better with me and my watchful eye- they said it wasn't necessary and unless we know what it is to treat just keep an eye on him. Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions? I feel like I'm doing all that I can do but any insight might help and all the prayers for my baby Keoki- He's the light of my life. Thanks guys
