I just got back home with my precious Maddie. She doesn't feel good at all. It was vomit and not diarrhea...I had scraped some out of the carpet to take there and there was actually little blood clots in with it. I knew it was vomit because her butt was clean, but her mouth and nose were all wet. I feel so bad thinking of how sick she was while I was taking my shower. There were six places where she threw up with blood and little blood drops all around the house. The first thing he asked me is if she'd gotten into any rat or mouse poison. I said no, but on the way home I got to wondering if there could be some in my Mom's basement. I need to go over there and check to see if there's anything there, as Maddie came down with me the other night. He then asked about table scraps and Maddie doesn't get table scraps unless someone gave some to her without my knowledge. He said that stress can also bring this on and asked if anything was different in Maddie's life. I told him my Mom had died. He asked if Maddie was close to her and I, of course, started crying and told him yes...they were very close and now we go to Mom's and she's not there. I told him how depressed she's been since Mom died. He diagnosed her with upper digestive inflammation and she will be on two different pills and pepcid a/c. The one pill she is to have a half hour before the pepcid a/c. Then the other pill and a half hour an hour after that she can eat. One pill is 3 times a day and the other is 2 times a day. He suggested canned i/d food for her for a while. She has a fever also. She isn't interested in eating, poor baby. I will just be babying her something awful. That vet seemed nice, but I'd feel so much more relieved if I could have seen my own vet. My vet always writes instructions down and this guy didn't and now I'm wondering if it was a half or a fourth of the pepcid ac. I will have to call there. Since Mom was sick and since she died, I just can't remember things. Thanks all for your prayers and I'd so appreciate if you you'd continue to pray for Maddie. I feel a little better since having her to the vet, but am still terribly concerned. Hugs to all! |
