Fervent prayers needed for Apple I've been so stressed, I haven't even wanted to post about Apple having Hemorrahgic Gastroenteritis (HGE)...It started last Sunday, and she was in the hospital w/IV fluids, on Monday...She did pretty well, for about 5 days, then hand a bloody/mucus coated stool, yesterday, but no puddles of blood, so I took her back to the vet...She was well hydrated, and seemed to feel o.k., so we came home...This morning, he threw up all her food (Hills RX ID) and had a major bleed from the rectum...I'm getting ready to take her to the ER, and I'm calling on praying YT mamas to fervently pray for her...This is the first event where she has thrown up the RX ID, so I'm not sure what the plan will be now?...I believe in the power of prayer, and I'm thanking you, so much, for prayers for my little Apple... |
I'll keep you and Apple in my prayers and thoughts.... I'm sure she'll be feeling better soon.... Hugs, Kathy |
Sending YT prayers for Apple to get better soon. Sending hugs to mom for all the stress associated with a sick baby. Please update when you get back from the vet...good luck. |
Oh Maggie, I am so sorry Apple is going through this. Sending prayers and positive thoughts to both of you. Sending a big hug as well. |
Sending you and Apple my prayers. |
Sending prayers. |
Maggie...sending fervent prayers for sweet Apple. I can't imagine the stress you are under right now. God please heal Apple this morning. |
Oh no, I'm so sorry that Sweet Apple is going thru this. Many, many prayers going out for her. |
Prayers for you and Apple. |
Prayers for you and Apple. |
Oh my gosh, I am just now reading your post and it reminds me of what happened with my little male the last few months. He had episodes of what you were describing, of what we thought were HGE, and treating him as such with IV's, Hills ID, etc., but these "episodes" were becoming more frequent. I had him on Natures Variety in the beginning, then Stella and Chewys and still don't know if this had anything to do with it...anyway, after trying all sorts of treatments with my local vet, who I love, we decided to make a visit to Texas A&M Veterinary School of Medicine to see a specialist, to try to find the real problem. They did an ultrasound and all sorts of other tests, which showed nothing, but decided to try him on a new food / antibiotic regime and he has now gone since December 1 without a single problem. They put him on Royal Canine HP (Hypo allergenic food), Tylosin powder in capsules 2x per day, Baytril, Metamucil sprinkled on his food, and absolutly no treats or any other food at all - not even pill pockets to take his meds with. He also gets a Vit B 12 shot weekly....it has worked. We are supposed to check in with the A&M vet next week and will see if they will continue this course, but I will tell you prior to this, I had one sick little baby. We had the bloody, mucusy stools and vomiting...his episodes were becoming more and more frequent. He is now perfectly fine and doing great...and he loves his new food! They gave me a list of 2-3 to try, but the RC HP he liked. I guess it was all just a severe food alergy that had the bacteria growing and building up in his gut, if that makes sense. My local vet admitted it all made sense, she never thought about it becasue it was so simple...I have no idea if this can be the case with Apple, but I thought I'd throw it out there "just in case" - my prayers are with you and your baby... |
Going to A&M is a wise idea if symptoms continue! I have always been pleased with them. It is a bit of a hike, but well worth it. |
I am sending prayers for you and Apple. I believe in prayers too! |
Sending lots of prayers your way!!1 So sorry you are going through this. Hugs to you and Apple. |
I am praying hard for Apple. Lolasmom has some other things you can look into at the Vet School so at least there is another source you can go to. Hugs to you and your little one. |
Sending up prayers for little Apple |
Keeping you and Apple in my prayers. |
My prayers are with Apple andyou.:aimeeyork |
My prayers are with you and Sweet Apple. |
So sorry to hear about little Apple. I hope she gets to feeling better real fast. We have had great luck with Iams Low Residue. |
I will pray for little Apple. Lady has HGE three times and it was the scariest experience of my life. |
Prayers for little Apple. My Westie also did well on Iams Low Residue when he had tummy problems. |
Maggie, I'm praying for both you and sweet Apple. She is in good hands with you for a mommy. |

I go to Gulf Coast for surgical and neurological things; but I have been less than pleased with the medical side. I, like you, love A&M and have never had a bad experience. |
Sending Thoughts and Prayers for Apple & you! |
Sending get well prayers for Apple and hugs to both of you!! |
Just got back from the vet...I've read every single post, twice, and can't thank you all enough for the prayers...Apple's numbers were not quite as bad, as last week, probably because I got her to the vet sooner, this time...She was borderline on weather to do IV or SubQ, fluids, so I opted for the SubQ, and brought her home, keeping a close eye on her for any lethargy, vomiting or bleeding...They also gave her an injection for the naseau...She was coughing and spitting, quite a bit, in the ER, seemingly trying to throw up, but there wasn't anything in her tummy, that's for sure...It all came out this a.m....Lolasmom, thanks for the positive feedback about your little one...Based on how things go today, and next week, I'll talk w/her vet about what may be necessary, regarding a specialist...I'm praying this was a fluke, and she is going to be alright...I, also, tend to think it's some kind of food allergy, as I'm sure she hasn't gotten into anything she shouldn't have...I have noticed, in the past, a little bit of spit up, when she was on Chicken, so I stopped that protein...However, she was on Duck, when the first major episode started, so maybe she can't eat fowl (what was I thinking!) Sorry for the rambling, I just need to get to the bottom of this for my baby girl...Thanks, again, to everyone that is praying for her...God listens, I just know He does! |
Very happy to hear that Apple's numbers have improved and that you had the option of bringing her home. I will keep both of you in my prayers. |
Yes, it is great that her numbers are getting back to where they should be. I'll be continuing prayers for her and that she continues to improve. Please keep us updated on how she is doing. |
