Straszny is not doing well. Long story short, he managed to find some medicine that was in a bag on mine that the active ingredient was mesalamine (a 5-aminosalicylic acid). The medicine was suppositories, and he chewed up 3 of them, 500mg each. He didn't consume all of this, I found bits and chunks on the floor. This was last night. I also found vomit on the bed, and he acted just fine besides that. I gave him some lunch meat(he doesn't normally get human food) and he at, drank, and went to the bathroom normally. I got home today after work, school, and a meeting. I saw that he had had a bowel movement but had not peed during the day(on his pee pad, anyway). I took him outside, and he did pee then. I quickly came to realize that he was not acting normally, and that he was sick. He wouldn't take food from me until I got a can of canned beef(more human food) and he ate some of it. He also drank some water. In the midst of this, I had called the vet, and was going to give it an hour to see how he was doing.
About an hour later a friend stopped by for 5 minutes or so, and Straszny acted just fine. Tail wagging, running around, the whole bit. I thought he was back to normal.
Then, he stopped moving around so much a little while later, and I could tell he wasn't comfortable. His abdomen was now obviously bothering him, he was waddling around a little. I think it may be a little swollen!!
He has peed in his bed, and on mine, which he has NEVER done. I don't now if he is losing bladder control, or if he is just ill. He didn't even move from his bed when he peed in it.
Also, his urine is CLEAR. I don't understand this. Also, abnormal. It does not smell like urine, either.
A little bit before he peed on my bed, I brought him a drink of water. I think that this went right through him... but he is still eating and drinking.
I don't know what to do. I will take him to the vet if need be, but honestly, they can;t pump his stomach or anything, it has been 24 hours since he consumed the medicine!
I am so scared. I lost a dachshund to parvo a little over a year ago, and it was heartbreaking. I watched her pass on. Convulsions, seizures, vomiting, so on. I don;t know if I can go through that again( we were waiting on the vet to arrive).
Does ANY of this sound familiar to ANYONE!!??? Do you think that it could be a liver problem? He has been acting a little strange lately, but I find it hard to believe that this is not due to the medicine.
