I will pray for for her.

Something similar happened to our vizsla last week. Scared us to death. A fecal sample showed it was a parasite. Fortunately, it lasted only a.few days and she is finally getting better, whew! Hope it turns out not to be serious, and your little chi gets better quickly too!

I am happy they have ruled out the Parvo....bless her little heart....how sad she is sooooo very sick....at least she seems to be responding to treatment, and that too is good news!!! Even when you dont know what it is, if they will respond to symptomatic treatment, then hope is not lost for a full recovery! You and your baby are in all our prayers....anxious to see your update after your visit to the vet in the am.

I'm so sorry your going through this with your chi!!! That's an extremely scary experience!! I'm glad to hear she is responding to some of the treatment!!! I had the exact same symptoms happen with my very tiny poodle about 9 years ago. I came home to find the exact same symptoms with him that you are describing. Like you, it scared me half to death.

My dog eventually was diagnosed with irritable bowel disease. They started my dog on antibiotics, steroids, and a very bland prescription diet. He began to do much much better. He still had a little bit of blood in his stool for a few days initially, but as the medicine got into his system, it stopped completely. This might be something totally different than what is going on with your baby, but thought I'd share what happened with us.

I will keep your baby in my prayers!!! Hopefully the vet is able to find the cause, and your baby can get back to complete health!! You are in my thoughts and prayers!!

How scary for you & your baby, I will be Praying for a full & speedy recovery.

Good news that she is responding to treatment. Also that she is alert and able to respond to you. Keep praying for her and the vet to give him knowledge and the ability to heal.

Hoping for an update...isn't it something when we all worry for the other furkids? I have always loved them.

JUst got back from spending time with Baya, and getting some groceries. She is doing really well this morning, finally holding her temp up! She is nibbling but not really eating; however, urine output is good and she is drinking well on her own. The vomiting and diarrhea have stopped and her eyes are not as glassy as they were yesterday. The vet said that as long as she does ok tonight and tomorrow I can take her home on Monday. I will be going back around 8 tonight (when the vet goes to tuck everyone in) to visit with her for a little while. Thank you all for your kind words and support.

Yorkiemom1 · 05-19-2012, 11:52 AM

Great news!!!

navillusc · 05-19-2012, 01:48 PM

Wonderful news! I hope she continues her recovery quickly. I am sure she will be glad to be home again with you.

bijoux1 · 05-19-2012, 03:08 PM

Oh I'm glad to hear she's doing better!!

southernbelle04 · 05-19-2012, 03:27 PM

I hope she continues to improve! My prayers will go out for you guys!

GidgetGirl2009 · 05-20-2012, 06:02 AM

When I went to visit with Baya last night she was looking almost normal again. She still was not eating much, but she was wanting to be held and giving me lots of kisses and tail wags. The vet is very pleased with her progress. I went again this morning to see her and she is looking even better yet. Hopefully, all the lab work will come tomorrow and we will know what it was/is so that we will know if we need to change the antibiotics because right now she is just getting a broad spectrum. Most importantly, I hope she is able to come home tomorrow. The vet is almost a hour away from us and these visits are getting costly, not that I would do anything different I would just prefer her be able to come home.
