God Bless you and Hershey! Hope he will be feeling better soon! My dogs will almost always eat a lick of plain yogurt. Also homemade blenderized rice and turkey with gravy.

I figured it was just the trachea acting up so I gave him his meds and we went out for the day. I came home to find that he was vomiting all over the house a bile type look to it. It was too late to go to the vet so I figured I would wait until morning. At three this morning he woke me up with awful breathing sounds. I stayed up with him in my lap until it was light out. He kept spitting up again. I brought him to the hospital and they found he had 104 temp. His bloodwork came back fine as well as his trachea and heart. They found something wrong with his lungs but are not sure what it is. They ran tests but bc of the holiday they wont get results until tomorrow. They are leaning twoards an infection bc of the fever. If not an infection, what else could it be? He is in an oxygen cage hooked up to monitors now and they said he is critical. Have you had any experience with his? what could it be and could he get better or will he die?

did he have his anals cleaned....that could do it...I don't advise this to be done...hope all goes well....Lucky999

Happy to hear Hershey is feeling better and at home. I hope he continues to do well and recovers quickly. Little bits of food, every couple hours seems to get mine eating after being sick. I sometimes put a tiny bite in the mouth to get them to taste it. This sometimes gets them to take a few more bites. It seems they always start slowly after not having eaten for a day or more.

Will send up a prayer that he starts eating well and continues to get better.

I hope Hershey is eating now. I'm so glad you have him home and I hope he continues to get better.

Hope Hershey continues to do well. Canned food, as someone said above is very palatable and will entice him to eat. Even though the Hill's line is low quality we use it as well for a couple days at a time when Bandit has his stomach issues because it helped a great deal and he actually ate it haha.

Speedy recovery Hershey!!!

My Tia has suffered SEVER constipation since having her anal glads expressed, what problems does this cause?????

yorkie729 · 10-02-2011, 01:30 PM

Thank you for your concern. Hershey is actually perfect now. He has 2 more days of antibiotics and then he is finished. He is playful, energetic and eating normally now. He has a collapsed trachea too and now even that seems a lot better. He is laying next to me right now breathing without a sound. Thank God! I'm just hoping this doesn't happen again--wish I knew how he got it. To answer the above poster, he didn't have his anals cleaned out and I never knew that could be dangerous. I definitely have to keep that in mind.

Franceen · 10-02-2011, 02:31 PM

What a relief to hear how well Hershey is doing. You say that you wish you knew how he got it - I am wondering if TxVicki could be right and the groomer got some water in his lungs? It could happen. Do you know the groomer well and has he been there a lot? You could always ask them if there was an accident last time they groomed him where some water could have got into Hershey's lungs. You can tell them that you are trying to find out how he caught it. So pleased Hershey is eating well and running around again. xx
