Help Chloe's in the Hospital - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I hope Chloe is feeling better and you both have a good night's rest. Good luck at the vets tomorrow.

I'm glad you are taking her into your vet's office, too. I think it is to be expected that she would be very weak after going through all of that. I would think it would take some time for her to regain her strength and not be so weak.

Are her gums pink and wet (not sticky)?

They look pink but they aren't wet and are sticky

She is dehydrated and that means she is in danger. They should be wet and not sticky (tacky). Dehydration can lead to electrolyte imbalance which can lead to cardiac...problems. IMO, call another emergency vet and see what they recommend. It may not be safe to wait until morning if she won't drink. This is just my opinion though. I would not be comfortable having her wait until morning.

what a scary experience to go through. I will pray for her recovery. Sounds like this illness has taken out a lot of her. Dehydration is what she has to try to keep up with, and this seems really hard to do when she is not drinking by herself.
I agree that if her gums are sticky or pale looking she will need to go back to the vet for rehydration. Best wishes to baby Chloe, and to her recovering fully.

Cali was pretty tired during her treatment, but she was receiving IV fluids every day and spending the days at the vtes office so I knew she was ok. I think I would take her to an er vet to be safe and get some fluids in her. I will keep her in my prayers.

lynnelily · 01-18-2011, 09:21 PM

I just got back from the ER vets again. I didn't want to take any chances after checking her gums and reading what that meant and the danger she might be in. They are keeping her overnight with with the IV fluids because she's not drinking water she was still dehydrated. I took her back to the same one because they are familiar with what has been happening and she did like them and I didn't want to stress her out more by going to somewhere else. I feel better knowing she is getting what she needs. I'll call them in the morning to check on how's she doing and give an update on how she doing then. Please keep her in your prayer. Thank you everyone for your help

Veruca and I are pulling for Miss Chloe... hopefully she's on the mend super quickly!

LaurenPatrice · 01-18-2011, 09:44 PM

I'm glad she is hooked back up to an IV, she needs all the fluid she can get. I hope you get some rest also. I will be praying for Chloe's recovery, I hope she gets well ASAP!

Mom to Hot Rod · 01-18-2011, 11:42 PM

Just catching up, sending lots of prayers for Chloe. Glad that she got better and this is just help her get even stronger. Hugs.

I am late hearing about poor Chloe but am adding my prayers for a quick recovery. I hope you take this time to get some good rest yourself while she is back at the ER vet. I know how stressful it can be when you are worrying about a beloved pet and that takes a lot out of you too. So, get some good rest tonight and hope you get great news in the morning.

Gizmo and I are pulling for Chloe as well, please keep us posted as to her care. I know you must be very tired as well, it is so hard to watch when your baby is not feeling well. Stay strong lady we are here for you and Chloe!

lynnelily · 01-19-2011, 07:46 AM

We just picked up Chloe again from the hospital and we can tell a big difference in her this morning. She looks better and has much more energy and was actually excited and wagging her tail! She must have needed the additional fluids. They said she ate her food and she drank water yeah! She has an appointment to see are vet this afternoon. I'm so relived I didn't sleep last night that well. She was happy to see Claire, Charm, and Casey and being home unlike yesterday when she was so listless and out of it. She's resting now and mama is going to take a nap with her. Thank you everyone for your help with the information about the danger signs of dehydration. I've never had a dog go through this type of situation before and I've had little dogs all my life.

Sammy Mommy · 01-19-2011, 08:01 AM

Thank goodness Chloe is doing better!!!! Try to take a nap. You've been thru alot too. It's so stressful when they are sick!! Continuing prayers for Chloe!
