layla has had diarrhea since saturday.. we thought she was getting better around monday, tuesday.. but last night we were up all night and it had gotten worse.. we are going to the vet at 10:45... they thought i should have brought her in sooner.. i feel so bad.... i hope i didn't make her worse... i hope things come through ok!!!!

LunasMomma · 02-01-2007, 06:42 AM

Prayers for you and Layla going up right now

I hope it's nothing serious, poor baby

Don't feel bad, you thought she was getting better. It stinks to rush to the vet only to hear "Oh, just let it run it's course"

so I know why you didn't go yet

She'll be okay

LuvMySissy · 02-01-2007, 06:43 AM

We hope that Layla feels better soon!!

Bnot · 02-01-2007, 06:45 AM

I hope its nothing serious. Have you changed her food recently?

chachi · 02-01-2007, 06:51 AM

Oh I hope Layla is going to be okay. It has definitely been long enough that i would be concerned but you thought she was getting better. They will give you meds for her that will clear it up

marcerella02 · 02-01-2007, 08:22 AM

i'm very glad we went.. he said it had been too long to just let it go... he gave her some meds to help her along and some special food.. the sad part is she isn't allowed to eat at all today

its going to be tough to hear her cry when she is hungry! i also have NO idea how i am going to get her to swallow the pills.. i saw him do it but we BOTH had to hold her and my parents are out of town .. any suggestions would be great! thanks everyone!

marcerella02 · 02-01-2007, 09:25 AM

and now she is throwing up

i called the vet.. they said to give her the meds again in case she threw them up.... i did that... and then she threw up again... i'm worried about my girl....

Potter · 02-01-2007, 09:28 AM

When my baby take pills with an empty stomach, he is almost always guaranteed to throw up. So I always give him pills half an hour after he eats. Maybe its the same with your baby? Try to check with your vet about taking the medicine with empty stomach? I am so sorry to hear about it. Hope she gets better soon.

marcerella02 · 02-01-2007, 10:05 AM

hi potter.. i think that is what it was.. because i gave it to her again.. and up it came.. but he said she sint' to eat until right before bed.. so i'll give her her second dose then. thanks so much.. she hasn't puked in about 20 min and is napping (thank god) when she gets up i'm going to try and get some water or Pedialyte in her but it is SO hard.. she wants nothing to do with it.. anyone have any creative suggestions to get fluids in her???

windsor'smom · 02-01-2007, 10:19 AM

Try giving her ice cubes or freezing the pedialyte for her, might be more appealing that way. Hope she feels better.

JESSY_RN2B · 02-01-2007, 10:26 AM

OMG! I had NO idea Layla was sick...........I will be praying for you both!!

Rudys Mom · 02-01-2007, 10:37 AM

I hope you " Get Better Soon " Layla.

They are just like our kids, we worry about them and do everything we can for them to get them well. Best Wishes to you and Layla.

marcerella02 · 02-01-2007, 10:59 AM

thank you everyone! i'm sure it is just "diarrhea" but like Rudy's mom said.. she is my child... i was so upset earlier i was crying.. but i think the vomiting has stopped .. she is having a really good nap right now... i just hope things continue to improve. thanks again!

LunasMomma · 02-01-2007, 11:06 AM

Awww, poor baby

I dunno, if it was me, I'd feed her SOMETHING

Maybe just some plain rice for now and see if that stays down. She can't go without food too long

Maybe you could put a little watered down chicken broth (I use Swanson's low sodium) in the rice and see if she'll eat that, for some fluids. Did he give her any subcutaneous fluids?

yorkieusa · 02-01-2007, 11:06 AM

I just saw your little girl is sick.

I hope she starts feeling better soon.

I used to use a syringe or a dropper to give fluids. Good luck.
