Also coccidia can affect the organs & the brain. You said that the vet said she has a mild case though so it's not likely but still possible. |

Tammie, how is Faith doing today? So sorry for all you have gone thru in the last 24 hrs., and hope you get some answers soon. |
Just reading, I'm so sorry this is happening.... Sending thoughts and prayers your way, I hope you get answers soon |
Update? |
I first want to say thank you to everyone for all your help, thought's and prayers. :ghug: Faith Ann is doing GREAT!!!!!!!!!! We went to the vet this morning and she got her check up. Her neuro symptoms are almost all gone. She is NOT falling now....she can walk straight, she can drink from her water bowel with out wobbling and she wanted to play today. She is still eating on her own...still the canned food but she is going back to the mush food and getting a few bites so I will start to add more of that and less of the canned. Her bowels still have blood in them but the are now firming up. She will give kisses and roll over and let you rub her tummy. She is still sleeping a lot but that is expected. The vet does NOT think she has a liver shunt. He said at her age she would have had problems before this but he is still going to keep an eye on it. We will have blood work re-done on Monday to see if the infection is gone and what her numbers are then. If the liver is still showing problems then he will do the bile acid test on her. Her WBC was 18.73. Normal range is 5.50-16.90. We still don't know what the cause of the infection is and could be from the coccidia is my thinking. The 2 shots yesterday seem to have either cleared out what ever she ate if she ate anything that caused her to be sick since they are not showing up on the blood work. So, as of now we are letting the 3 meds do their job and will re-do blood work on Monday. I still call in daily with her status and any changes for the worse she is to be immediately taken in. Otherwise we wait for the blood work and see where to go from there. Yesterday I did not think she was going to make it. She was just horrible. Today I think she is going to be just fine. She may still have her problems but I think she is doing much better. Still staying with her at all times just so I don't miss anything but I can breathe again for the moment. Thank you again!!!! |
That's WONDERFUL!! I am so happy for you and little Faith. :) I will keep her in my prayers for continued improvement. Hugs, Bonny |
Oh Thank Goodness that she's doing better now. Let's hope & pray that she stays that way. Thank You for taking care & control of the situation quickly. |
Tammie what an emotional roller coaster you have been on. I am just catching up and I went from being afraid to being relieved as I read. It does sound like she ate something and is getting better now. I pray that she continues to improve. Best wishes and I hope you get a little rest. |
Glad to hear the baby is home! Praying you see continued improvement. Poor baby! We will keep you both in our prayers. |
We still don't know the exact cause of the problem and I would still like to find that out if possible. Also don't know if she will have further problems so right now we are just taking one step at a time and clear up what we can and then going from there. I just want to make sure that she is free and clear of all problems so she will be here with me for awhile and then we will start slow and let her take a sissy there with her so she is not stressed. If that doesn't work then we will figure something else out. |
I am glad she is doing much better. |
Tammie, These pups are going to continue to keep us at the edge of our seats! I am very happy to hear that she is doing much better. Sending hugs and prayers. |
I'm wondering if the new Mommy had used the vac the day this happened or mopped the floors with pinesol or used any spray air freshener or using any kind of cleaning product just prior to the episode. Also how long she had been behind the entertainment center and are there cords back there that she could possibly have gotten tangled in for long enough to slow her oxygen for a bit. I just am feeling that this did not start out to be a med condition but environmental somehow. Does the new Mommy smoke > if so indoors ? |
Nice to see the update and the Faith is doing better today. I will continue to check for updates and hope that they can figure out what is going on with her. |
