my baby is in the hospital. he was really straining to poop this morning and was a little lethargic. had not been eating well since last night. i took him in, thank goodness, and he was admitted for x-rays and lab work. they suspected a foreign object. they just called, though, to say the x-ray doesn't show an object per se, but that there is gas in the small intestine, where there shouldn't be any gas. that can be a sign of obstruction. so they are going to do an ultrasound this afternoon to take a better look in there. i am so worried! poor little thing was so scared and sad looking. i almost cried having to leave him there. :( i am crossing all i have to cross that he won't need surgery!! please keep Mimo in your thoughts... thanks. |
awwww...so sorry to hear that your Mimo is ill.... Thank goodness you got him to the vet! I hope all goes well. Will say a prayer for him. Keep us posted. |
Sending prayers for little Mimo. |

thanks, ladies. i'm so worried!! they told me he was totally responsive and his vitals were great when i left him, but still... my mind goes to the dark side so easily! waiting to hear is the worst. i just want to know what he has and what they're going to do to fix it. :( |
Im sorry Im praying for your baby |
Keeping little Mimo in my prayers... |
You always tend to think the worst when your baby is at the vet. You have to tell yourself that your baby is in good hands. I know how you feel and I'm sure everybody at yt feels that way when their babies are sick. I'll say a prayer for little Mimo. Please keep us posted. |
Sending positive thoughts little Mimo's way. |
Oh, poor little baby. Sending prayers for Mimo. Hugs...xxooxxoo |
Sending prayers and hugs to Mimo... |
Hope Mimo feels better soon. Try not to worry TOO much; but I know it's hard. |
I hope it is nothing serious, and that he is home soon. |
Hope Mimo is OK. Sending hugs and prayers your way. |
Hope mimo gets well soon im keeping you both in my prayers:aimeeyork |
My fingers are crossed for Mimo too! I hope he just has a little tummy upset. |
So glad you responded so quickly. Hope things turn out okay and will be checking for updates. |
I hope everyting is ok with Mimo and he's back home soon. |
Special thoughts for Mimo I'm so sorry Mimo is in hospital. We've got our fingers and paws crossed, too. Sending you the very best wishes for your little one. |
Saying a prayer that Mimo won't need surgery and will be back to himself in no time at all! Poor little guy. That must have been hard to leave him. Pls let us know how he is doing. |
Was checking back and hoping for an update on how Mimo's surgery went. |
thanks so much, everyone. i really appreciate having a place to share-- you all *get* it. :D Mimo is home!! turned out to be a case of gastroenteritis. poor baby! he got some subq fluids. they did the US, and also a parvo test just to make sure, which was negative. he did have a little bit of rawhide for the first time ever yesterday and i can't help but wonder if that is what caused it. what are your experiences with it?? i'm exhausted from the nerve wrecking. :P |
also, the blood work showed his protein is a little low (the reason why the wanted to rule out parvo). i should have asked more questions, but i didn't think about them till now. *sigh* anyway, thanks again for all the support. you are all a really nice bunch of people. <3 |
I won't give dogs rawhide anymore. I don't know if it could have caused Mimo's problem but it's such a choking risk... I'm really glad to hear he's home and hope he recovers quickly! |
I am glad he is home and on the road to recovery. One of mine seems to get tummy upsets from any type of rawhide, hooves or bones. Now they only get nylabones and has done much better. |
So glad he is ok!! Yes, rawhide very well may have been the culprit. I also use Nylabones...just make sure, if you get that, that you the the durable ones that are not digestible. |
It could have been the rawhide, I had a lab-mix who could and would eat anything he could get his mouth on and would never have any kind of stomach issues. I gave him a rawhide one day and he suddenly had "explosive" diarreah a few times in a row. Took him to the vets and he was fine but needed fluid due to the dehydration. Since then I've never given a dog a rawhide bone...there is just something not right about them. I'm so glad your little one is better now. |
So glad your little one is out of the hospital and things look good. Rawhide.... No more for my girls because Piccolo choked on one and luckily I was able to get it out of her throat in time. (That was before I joined YT and learned so much about chews, etc.) Never had your type of problem, though. Again, so happy about the great ending. |
Sending prayers for your little one. |
