When I got home from work yesterday around 6:30pm, I saw that ZoE had diarrhea...bad! She'd obviously tried to make it to her potty area, and had left a trail to it & from it. Lots of it! And she clearly wasn't feeling well as she didn't greet me when I came home
She wouldn't eat dinner or drink water, so I syringed some pedialyte in her mouth. About an hour later, she vomited. Must have been her breakfast, because she'd still not eaten dinner. I boiled some rice & chicken breast, hoping to tempt her to eat later. But before I could even attempt to feed her, things got really bad around 9pm. She was clearly lethargic as she tried to walk to her potty area, where she had lots of watery, bloody diarrhea.
After seeing that, I didn't want to wait until the morning to take her to her vet, so I picked ZoE up, popped on her harness, grabbed my purse, and off we went to the ER.
The ER vet examined her thoroughly, and immediately started her on fluids, while she took a blood sample, a stool sample & ran tests. The vet said her belly was soft & palpable (so didn't appear to be obstruction related ), but she was clearly dehydrating fast.
CPL snap test was negative for pancreatitis, CBC +profile+lytes were good (lytes good after fluids given) and she had Antiemetic & Metronidazole administered. We left there around 3am and she was seeming a bit more like regular ZoE. No food for 12 hours, then only rice & chicken with some Fortiflora sprinkled on it, and 1ml of Metronidazole very 12 hours.
Regular vet called today after getting faxed report/tests from ER clinic this morning to see how she was doing. Said to give her 24 hours to poop and if she doesn't go during that time, to bring her in for xray/ultrasound, or to bring her in anytime if she has any more vomiting or diarrhea or noteable lethargy.
No vomiting or diarrhea so far today...but no poop either. She's ate some chicken & rice, two times today and seems in much better spirits. Just waiting on that poop!
