Please pray for Fitzgerald Hey everyone, I joined this forum a few weeks ago with my 4-month-old Morkie. He was doing great until recently. We noticed over the past few days he has had very dark poop and has been acting sluggish and tired all day, and also had a wet cough. We brought him to the vet, and it turns out he is extremely anemic, and the dark poop is caused by digested blood. His red cell count is 16%, which the vet told me is HALF of what it should be. He said if it falls any lower, he will need a blood transfusion :( The vet said it's commonly caused by hookworms or fleas, but he could not find anything on him or in him. He gave us iron supplement and anti-biotics, as well as treatment for worms in case he has them. We are worried sick because we don't have any idea why he's anemic, and we are just bracing ourselves for the worst :cry: Please keep our Fitzy in your prayers tonight, and if anyone could offer some words of wisdom based on experience, we'd appreciate that. |
Awwww, sending your baby all my prayers. I hope he's back to normal and feeling well soon! |
Oh no! I hope someone has some advice for you. Both of you will be in our prayers. Hugs from Texas! |
ahhh poor baby, sending prayers to you, i sure hope he is better soon:( |
Sending warm wishes to Fitz. Good to hear you saw the vet and he is also on worm medication. I have yet to have a poop specimen show worms. The only true test for me is that I examine and smell my pup's poop every time they go. Dontral Plus is very effective for all forms of those nasty worms. Will watch for good news on his next visit. Sounds like you have a very good vet. |
Ahhhh...poor little Fitzgerald. I will pray for him and you! Bless your hearts. It sounds like your vet has all the bases covered with the meds he has given him. I do think you will have a good outcome and he'll be feeling good again in no time, but I also know what a worry it is until they are feeling better. Big hugs to you! |
Prayers for your little Fitzgerald.... |
Poor little Fitzy...I have no experience with this issue, but you will most certainly be in my thoughts! |
Aw poor baby, lots of prayers coming your way. There are different forms of anemia, atleast in humans, i'm not sure about puppies. Did the doctor go into specifics or talk about supplements. I have pernicious anemia, which is a lack of B12, i take supplements everyday and i'm fine. Do some research and next time you talk to the doctor ask him lots of questions! Good Luck and prayers for little Fitzgerald! |
hope today is better I hope little Fitz is feeling better. Please keep us posted on your baby's health!:) |
Praying that Fitz is better soon!!:) |
I will keep Fitzgerald in my prayers. I am so very sorry that he is sick. Sending get well quick hugs :ghug: |
I'm so sorry he is sick. I know how scared one can get when they suddenly become ill and you don't understand why! |
Prayers being sent for Fritzy (and for you, too)! |
Aww poor Fitzy. I hope he isn't in any kind of pain. Prayers going out to both your family and Fitzy |
