Cali is sick again 4 Attachment(s) Last night Cali started walking hunched over and while she ate I had to coax her to do so. Then during the night she seemed restless and sat hunched over. She hadn't had and diahrea or vomiting but I just knew she was not feeling well and with her recent history of HGE I didn't want to take chances. I was able to get her in to the vet this morning and when they took her temp the thermometer came out covered in blood. The vet said good thing you brought her in. I did start them on California Natural kibble Monday and they are use to the canned CN so I don't think that would have done it and also her Atopica(allergy medicine was late coming this month so she was off of it for 6 days and started back on Monday as well. The vet said it could be the combiation of the 2 or just random so they gave her SQ fluids and 2 medicines. Keep her in your thoughts that she doesn't progress into full blown HGE. Thanks I took some pics while we waited at the vets as I had my camera in my purse. She looks so sad. |
So sorry to hear about Cali not feeling well ... I think sometimes stress can cause alot of these symptoms (weaken their immune systems) and it depends on what things stress the pup out. Peek a Boo went through a few years of getting this and other gastrointestinal stuff seems like every time I turned around. Finally now it's been a while since anything gastrointestinal has happened (knock on wood). I wonder if there isn't a stage they go through? Catching it quickly definitely helps, so very good you were paying attention... sending Hugs and prayers for a speedy recovery ...Kathy |
Patti, Im so sorry Cali is not feeling well. Sending you prayers.... |
Patti, I am so sorry that Cali is sick again. She does, indeed look so sad in the pictures. It just breaks our hearts when they are sick. I was thinking, it could have been the food change. I had changed my girls girls dinner from Wellness for Small Breeds to Solid Gold Hunden Flocken and the Vet did say a food allergy could cause Neuro symptoms or the ear infection she seems to have now. I will pray that Cali does not go into full blown HGE. Hugs to you, and kisses from Kia to Cali. She says she knows just how Cali feels. (: Sheila |
DogCare - Hemorraghic Gastroenteritis hge info above - so sorry :( my dog was on atopica and it does cause gi upset -- does she have really bad allergies as if she is prone to this hge she may not be a great candidate for this medication ;( I had to take my dd off after a year on it as she kept vomitting and now on temarilp which i hate but her allergies are horrible - what dose are you on of atopica ? The thing about atopica is they can go on and off no probelm with that drug unlike steroids as you have to ween them on and off of steroids Hang in there and i hope she gets better soon |
Aw, Patti! :hug: I'm so sorry that Cali is sick again! I know how tough all of this has been on you and her! I hope it gets resolved quickly and without any further complications! I just wanted you to know that our thoughts are with you and we're sending some really positive vibes your way too! |
Aww. Poor little baby. I'm sorry she is having trouble again.:( It's a good thing you caught it right away! :thumbup: You can tell she doesn't feel well in the pictures but she is still the cutest little thing...:) |
Poor Cali!!! I hope the sub-Q fluids and meds will have her on the mend quickly. Sending our thoughts, prayers and hugs..... |
aww Cali looks miserable. Sending hugs and prayers for her to get better fast. |
Oh no, Patti I just now seen this, :getwell: little one:hug: |
Thanks! My computer crashed for the 3rd time in 2 weeks so I just got a new one tonight and haven't been able to get on until now. Cali has not thrown up or pooped but she just looks so sick. I am really worried that she is going to get worse. She is on 10 mg of Atopica once a day and if she misses one dose she starts scratching bad, but I didn't get to see her regular vet today but I am going to see if we need to take her off of it. It is an immune suppressor and with recurring HGE I don't want to make her more prone to it. I am praying we don't have to go to the er vet tonight. I feel so bad she is always getting sick and she is such a sweetie. I will keep you posted. |
I'll keep Cali in my thoughts and prayers, get well quick sweetheart! |
Poor Cali. Zoeybear poo'd blood when I tried to feed her dry dog food. She can only tolerate home cooking and Freshpet select. Any dry dog food causes bloody poo. Hope Cali is better soon. Hugs to your Cali from my Callie. |

I'm glad Cali hasn't vomited or had any diarrhea. To be on the safe side, it might be wise not to give her the CN kibble. Don't you just hate when you can't see your regular Vet? That rarely happens to me, but it did happen with Kia's episode on Wednesday, and I feel more confident of the diagnosis when our regular Vet sees her. I am praying, too that you won't end up at the ER Vet tonight. Sheila |
