Dennis & Lilly (Lilly is sickl) I am devastated today, Lilly would not eat much over the weekend this is the first time I have experienced this type of thing being a new dad, by the time Sunday evening came around I was almost frantic, she laid down in her basket and was very non responsive. I made several calls to our local emergency Vet Service and finally at 21.00 the lady came out to me, she was excellent and very up front with me, it turns out that Lilly has picked up a small parasite that has caused her some serious internal trouble. This morning she has visited the Hospital, after a long examination it was decided to keep her in to monitor her progress today and possibly Tuesday, Dennis seems to be inconsolable I just cannot bear to think that we might be looking at a potentially life threatening event, why do we have parasites anyway. I am at work now for what its worth 14.45 I am so worried. :( |
My heart goes out to you on this. I am sure you have her getting the best care possible and she knows you love her. She will be home soon |
That's pretty scary - at least they know what it is and are treating her !! Poor babies - she should be ok after the medication works ! I don't understand parasites either - what purpose do they EVER serve ? I know many things are on our planet for a reason - but they boggle my mind - they just don't seem to have ANY purpose except wreaking havoc on animals... I really hope she gets better fast and Dennis cheers up ! |
Do you know what type a parasite it is? Have they started her on some antibiotics? I'm sure she is in the best hands right now. I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. |
Deja vu all over again... Quote:
MANY years ago when I was a young girl ;) we had a dog that got sick from parasites. (The one thing I DO remember is the vet saying that the stool sample had "more parasites than could be found in a monkey's sh*t" - the things you remember!) Anywho... We had taken him to the beach on vacation with us, and the vet said that it was probably something that he ate while playing at the beach. He was young and at the stage where everything went into the mouth, so no telling what it was! Probably nothing since the beach trip was recent, but I'll ask my mom if she remembers more details (other than the stool sample quote) and let you know. Bottom line, he got better and lived a long and healthy life, and I'm sure your baby will too! |
My prayers are with you guys. I hope she will be all right. :thumbup: |
Garry My thoughts are with you garry and keep us posted on your baby :) dianne :) |
Oh no, I hope little Lilly is doing better...keep us posted and hang in there, I know it's hard being a yorkie parent. Very stressfull when the little ones get sick! |
Lilly will be okay. Keep us updated! Sometimes, this sort of thing happens but with medication, she should pull through just fine. |
Poor Lily, I hope she is back to her normal self in record time. Usually those parasites can be taken care of pretty fast with meds. When Rio was a pup he drank out of a creek and picked up giardia, it is a parasite too. He was seemingly deathly ill and after starting his medication was back to normal in a day or two.Hopefully it will be the same for Lily. Keep us posted on her recovery, Dawn |
Just saw your post ... hope little Lilly is better today! Will keep her and Dennis in our prayers! |
Anyone heard from Lilly??? |
I am sorry you are going through this and hope Lily is better soon. |
Oh No I Hope Lily Gets Better Soon My Prayers Are With You |
I am so sorry to hear Lilly is sick, the good news is she is at the Vet and they will be able to treat her there, she will be just fine and home really soon. Please keep us posted on her, were sending you our prayers. |
