Fuzzy's Sick... We went for a long walk and when we got back she crashed on the couch. Then she got up and ate all of her food. Then she started lying down unresponsively and throwing up until she'd thrown up her whole dinner. Now she is very tired and not too responsive although she'll lift her head and look around from time to time. I'm definately planning to take her to the vet tomorrow, but do you think I should take her to the emergency room tonight? |
If I were you I'd at least call the emergency vet. They can tell you whether or not they think you should bring her in. Excessive throwing up is never good though, you should probably take her in just to be safe. :( Hope she's okay! Keep us updated! Quote:

If this is unusual behavior for her, I would call the ER vet tonight. They can do a phone consultation and tell you whether you should bring her in. How old is she? Does she have any known health issues? |
Poor baby! I would def. call, like the others said. It may be best to take her in tonight, and could actually end up costing you less than if you waited, because if she throws up all night she could get really dehydrated. Poor girl, please keep us posted. |
Thanks everyone - she drank water after she threw up and hasn't thrown up in an hour or so, so I'm not too worried about her being dehydrated... We'll call the ER and see what they say... |
are her gums nice and pink? do her eyes look "there" or does she appear off somewhere. When you think about it.. if we go for a very long walk.. and then we were to come home and eat.. we would probably throw it up too... will she eat a treat if you give her one??? i'd keep an eye on her... try offering her small amounts of kibble.. or something bland like cheerios and see if she can keep small amounts down... if she is really worrying you call the ER vet but something tells me she just over did it :) |
Well - she woke up again, drank some water and is playing with her stuffed bunny and jumping on the furniture again... I called the ER and they told me that it's up to me whether I bring her in or not - not too helpful... :) Anyway, we're going to call her vet tomorrow and try to get in - but it seems that the panic mode is over... Thanks again! |
Nice pink gums - beady eyes are there - started the snack test and she immediately jumped up as soon as she heard the kitchen noises... I gave her a little bit of brown rice (one of her favorites) - we'll see if she keeps it down! Now I think she was just faking it! Oh well I'm on to her new games - and she's still going to see the vet tomorrow! That'll teach her!!!!! |
Just wondering how Fuzzy is doing today. Hope everything is back to normal. |
She's much better... The vet put her on a bland diet and injected some fluids, but she was already pretty much back to normal by the time she got there. She did throw up this morning a little... She's getting blood tests on Monday morning, but she seems to be 100%... |
Glad shes feeling better :) Fuzzy is my Precious' nick name |
I was going to mention that they shouldn't eat for an hour after a long walk. Also not to walk till one hour "after" eating too. I hope there isn't anything more serious. |
Thanks for the update. Hugs to Fuzzy. ;) |
Well - Fuzzy went in for blood work on Monday and we found out yesterday that it didn't go too well and she may have a shunt... :( She hasn't had any symptoms of liver problems yet - just the vomiting episode last week, so they're not sure. She has to get more tests now to see... I should hear more tomorrow... :( :( :( |
Oh my goodness, that must have come as quite a shock. I'm sending best wishes to you and Fuzzy Sheilagh |
Oh no. Praying it's not a shunt. Please keep us posted. |
Oh no. Sending prayers and warm wishes your way :( |
:( Oh, no! I hope Fuzzy is OK. Please let us know when you know for sure! You must be worried to death! |
I am so sorry! Has the vet put him on a special diet until more test results are in? Praying for you both. |
Poor Fuzzy. I will say special prayers for him. |

(Fuzzy's a girl, but thank you and everyone else so much!!) She's being so playful and happy to it's difficult to think of her as being sick. We have cut out all people food and she's getting an ultrasound test in the next week or so to check her liver and look for a shunt... |
Hoping little Fuzzy feels better soon |
Hows Fuzzy feeling tonight? |
Any news on the little Fuzzy??:confused: Hopeing she is feeling better!!:) |
Sure hope Fuzzy is doing better. This morning one of our Yorkies (see avatar) woke up with trouble breathing and his stomach was enlarged. I grabbed him up and headed to the PET-ER in Towson, MD. After running tests, X-rays and draining off the fluid around his lungs, the doctor now thinks its a liver problem, because of what the blood work shows. Know our thoughts and prayers are with you too! |
Haven't heard from the vet yet - going to call tomorrow... |
Heres hoping you get all GOOD news!! :) |
Well - I was going to call the vet today anyway and then... Fuzzy threw up her breakfast... :( So we went right to the vet and she took a urine sample which came back within normal limits. Fuzzy has an appointment on Wednesday for an ultrasound test to check her liver and they're also suggesting a liver biopsy or fine-needle-aspiration which we're considering to check for microvascular dysplasia. I can't seem to find much information about this condition, but it doesn't seem to be as serious as a liver shunt, so given the choice I guess that's the lesser of two evils. Especially since Fuzzy isn't displaying any clinical signs of either condition... Thank you all for your continued best wishes for The Fuzz! |
Poor Fuzzy. I will keep HER in my prayers. When I am praying I usually pray for the "sweet little babies" instead of him or her since I get confused all the time.:D |
