Is there a chance that she got anything with xylitol in it ? Does anyone have contact with Tammy that could call to ask her ?

Good deal then. I am just sick to my stomach over this as I'm sure everyone else is too. This is just not rite , it should be a happy time. I am Praying for this little Girl. She just HAS to be Ok.

Email from Tammie 10 min. ago from ER: parvo test is neg. still doing more bloodwork.

Hope she sees my message about Xylitol, that is a possibility, and many new owners are not aware of it's danger.

I know and I WISH they would take it off the market. Doesn't Saras mom have another dog ? I'm sure Sara knows about it & would think she would have shared that info with her Mom. God she has to be Ok.

Tammie replied that the new owners aren't gum chewers or on a diet or diabetic, so doubts that xylitol is involved. Still unsure about the cause.

I'm just sick over this. Like many of you who became attached to the Miracle Babies, I feel like an auntie to them.

Praying some more, Little Faith please pull thru and be ok.....

Me too, and I can't imagine how Tammie is dealing with it right now. She has put so much time, energy and love into these little pups, and has just gone thru the sad reality of 2 going to their forever homes, and now little Faith is seriously ill.

Oh I'm sure she's in shock rite now as is her new Mommy. I was thinking and wondering if she could have Colitis as I have a Malti/Pom who has it & he gets disoriented when he has an attack with it. When I was a tech I did see a couple of puppies that has those symptoms as well. Was her food changed in her new home or any new treats added ?
A dog can actually hemmorage to death with Colitis before you ever see blood in the stool.

lillymae · 05-10-2011, 09:50 PM

I assume they have her on IV ? and do you know if they did an x-ray to rule out that she may have eaten a sharp object ? being disoriented can simply mean she is having severe pain and the dilated pupils can mean pain as well, doesn't always have to mean something neuro. I'm praying it's something like that.

MauiGirl · 05-10-2011, 10:06 PM

I'm not sure about IV and xrays, but you bring up a good point about swallowing something sharp. Puppies seem to have to eat everything they find on the floor.

Yes and if this is the case , it could explain the neuro symptom from pain in her tummy as well as the dilated pupils & the blood in the stool. Did you E her that ?
If not Please do so , Thanks.

Yes, sent the message, and will post if she replies. Wow, it's about 1:30a.m. in Texas, long night for them.

Great, Thank You ! I hope we hear something GOOD soon.

MauiGirl · 05-10-2011, 10:49 PM

Tammie just got home. They found a tiny amt. of coccidia and gave meds for that, blood didn't reveal anything abnormal from eating something, and next they will test for liver shunt.

Maybe Tammie will have more to add in the morning, but for now it is still a mystery.

Good night all. Keep praying for Faith.
