Rushed Holly to Emergency Vet. Very bloody diarrhea. I rushed Holly to the emergency vet tonight around midnight for very bloody diarrhea and lots of it. This is much more than the blood tinged diarrhea that my girls get occasionally. She also started vomiting and would not eat dinner tonight. She is drinking and acting okay though. She is having x-rays, blood work, IV fluids, meds to quiet her gut down and some IV antibiotics. I'm very worried about her. We can't figure out anything she could have gotten into. The vet thinks she might have picked up an infection at the park or the groomers. I'm waiting on a call back from the vet to see how she is doing. Holly will stay at the vet probably until Sunday evening. Has anyone had something similar go on with their Yorkie and what was the cause? Would appreciate well wishes for my dear little girl. |
Years ago I had a cat who had colitis & would do this sometimes. I'm praying your baby will be Ok. |
Sending my best. So glad you took it seriously. |
Praying that your little one will be ok |
Betty Boop did the same thing last year. She eats everything she can find in the yard and the vet felt like this caused the problem. We have oak trees that drop acorns and acorns are poisonous, sticks, weeds, etc. Her poop was very bloody and mucousy. She never vomited though. I can't remember what meds he gave her but it did the trick. She hasn't had any problems since. Does your baby nibble on things outside? It sure doesn't take much to upset their systems. I pray Holly will be better soon. Keep us posted. |
oh I hope it is something simple.... sending prayers Please keep us posted!! |
I hope everything will be okay with Holly. Sending prayers and love. Keep us posted. |
Sending positive thoughts and prayers for Holly.... |
So sorry to hear about poor Holly. Did they test for HGE? It's faily common in small dogs and they're not sure what causes it, just sudden onset of bloody diarrhea. I'll keep her in my prayers. |
Holly is doing better. Thanks so much! It was the fear of HGE that was one of the reasons I took her to the vet. She had no more diarrhea or vomiting after she was admitted. She has been on IV fluids, IV antibiotics and other meds all night and is doing okay. She was quite dehydrated. With the exception of dehydration her labs were all okay, as were her x-rays. They will start her on clear fluids shortly and then will try a soft diet. Once she is eating something and not having diarrhea or vomiting she can come home, hopefully this evening. Even though I am an RN, it was still so scary seeing all of that blood! If it happens again I hope it does so during my own vet's business hours. The emergency vet is crazy expensive. But I can't put a price tag on my Holly. Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. It means a lot. |
Just saw this sending prayers for little Holly's quick recovery. |
Sending Prayers for your little one! Kudos to you for being one of the good ones- who takes your babies health seriously! |
Apple had the same thing a few months back...Also, on a Sunday!...I guess we'll never know if she had HGE or if it was eating hibiscus seeds, or perhaps even stress (I had out of town company w/two chins here for a couple of weeks)...I eliminated every single thing she was eating, and had her on ID for a few weeks, and slowly added back everything, one thing at a time, slowly...All is well, so it wasn't her food...My best advice is to add food back verrrrrrrrry slowly...I tried a week later, first time, and she had another episode...Next time, ER dr. said don't try for 3 weeks...Your baby will be fine w/care...Key word here is care, and you are doing that...Bless her little heart, hope she gets well very soon...Took my Apple about 6 weeks to get back to her old obnoxious self... |
I am glad Holly is doing better. Cali had symptoms like that when she had HGE. It is very scary. |
Happy to hear she is feeling better.... |
Great to hear she's improving... |
Sending get well wishes and prayers to Holly!! Feel better soon little one! |
Sending prayers |
I'm glad it stopped at the ER. I hope she will quickly improve. I know that had to be really scarey.:( |
Holly is home! I just brought Holly home from the hospital. It was hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. I'm so glad I brought her to the hospital. She is dong well. She needs to be on antibiotics for 10 days and small feeds every 2-4 hours for the next couple of days. Gracie is so happy to have her sister home, as are we. Thanks again for all your support. When in doubt, never hesitate to take your baby to the ER. They are so little that they can dehydrate and go downhill very fast. The emergency vet said anytime a little dog has runny diarrhea with blood in it, if no formed stool at all, they need to go to the vet ASAP. |
Wow! That was quick! I'll keep Holly in my prayers! |
So glad Holly is home!! Feel bad though poor Holly has HGE. She's lucky to have a mommy that takes such good care of her! |
I'm glad you were able to bring her home. I hope she continues to improve. |
Glad everything turned out well. When Frisco had similiar symptoms, they did x-rays and Barium Test and determined it was a blockage....they did surgery and found nothing.....been fine ever since:confused: .....they did do a biopsy on his Liver ....said they didn't like the way it looked....test came back with chronic Hepititas of the Liver....guess it was a good call after all. That was at least 5 years ago. |
Im gald she is better, scares the crap right of us dont they |
There is a flu going around for dogs. I took my molie to the vet this morning and he diagnosed her with a viral infection, I check it online and found out, it come from Kennel cough. I thought I do not take her around other dogs. But I took her to the groomers for a groom and she was around other dogs, last week she had a cough. She is now on antibiotics, and a small amount of food. she through up a lot of bloody looking stuff, and black diarrhea. She is just laying around and doesn't want to eat anything. I had another dog, named Maggie, she got pancreaitis, with bloody diarrhea and bloody vomit. They put her on fluids because of dehydration. Lost a lot of weight. Please pray for molie, she is so little also. |
So glad she is better. :) |
Glad to hear she is better. Cali had HGE twice and it is a very scary disease. I am so glad you took her right in. |
