Tazzie is not doing very well.
 
You all know tazzie had shunt surgery Wed. last week. He was vomiting before surgery and is still, which i understand. But took him to vet they put him on pepcid ac , never worked. He was still on lactulose and melocicam his pain meds, they said leave him on them. Well he started throwing up had some blood in it, took him back to vet they gave him ondansetron i guess for sick tummy, its not working, so this morning i got up and he was pooping blood so back to vet i went, they gave him metronidazole and finally took him off of pain meds, so far its still not working hes still throwing up, maybe need to be patient? Im just so worried, vet said he didnt think it was from his surgery, but he did no exrays or anything. If not better back to vet mon. No one seems to really tell me why he would be pooping blood, its bright red? Any answers? Help!!!!! He is not dehyrated he said and he acts like he fills OK not real perky.:confused:

tazzies mom 10-29-2011 03:08 PM
Oh, They did take him of of his pain meds now.

Poor Taz. I don't have any advice, but I'm sending prayers your way. Please keep us updated.

Did a board certified surgeon do the surgery? What are they saying?

That much vomiting sounds very abnormal. No bloodwork post surgery? Are they sure it's not pancreatitis (the pancreas can get very angry when touched during surgery..). It sounds like it's time for bloodwork to be done. I'd wonder what his CBC is like also. I think taking him off of the pain med was a good idea. Giving NSAIDs to dogs after LS surgery is questionable at best.

How many episodes of vomiting and diarrhea? They didn't give any fluids?

Poor Tazzie. I am praying your baby gets better soon. Know how worried and frustrated you may be at this point.

Teresa Ford 10-29-2011 04:14 PM
So Sorry this is going on. I have no advice, I just keep checking back for updates. Sending hugs, love and prayers for Tazzie and you too.

Yes she took Tazzie to the Unn of Tenn and Dr. Tobias did the surgery.

I think maybe she should call the Un of Tenn and ask them questions.

I hope Tazzie starts to feel better soon.

SophieandZiggy 10-29-2011 05:44 PM
is he still drinking? not sure where you are in WV but there is an emergency vet clinic in Fairmont if he needs treatment before Monday. My Ziggy has been sick twice in the last month with the vomiting and pure blood stool. I lost Rusty to this on 9/19/11. My black Lab also had it. No answers still as to what caused it either.

Sending positive thoughts and prayers to you and Tazzie!

marcie 10-29-2011 06:26 PM
Looking for update on little Taz.

Lolasmom1211 10-29-2011 06:54 PM
Absolutely call University of TN or have your vet call UT. There is someone there, on call, 24 hrs a day to answer your questions. I can't tell you how many times I called after our surgery for silly litlle questions...and for something like your problems, I would 100% call them. I am sending prayers and good thoughts your way - please keep us updated....

lillymae 10-29-2011 10:23 PM
Have they checked him for Parvo ?

Sandysbabies 10-29-2011 10:30 PM
That poor little baby. I am so sorry. I know you must be a basket case. I would like everyone said, talk to the ones that did the surgery. Praying you find some answers for this little one.

KendraE 10-30-2011 05:20 AM
Oh I'm so sorry!!! Have them check for parvo!!! That is the symptoms!!! Mack is in the hospital right now with it. Doesn't matter if they are up to date on shots!!! Mack most likely caught it at the vet a week ago while having his neuter and dew claws removed... Please have them check!!!!

oliver44 10-30-2011 05:32 AM
wish i could help my thoughts & prayers are with you as well!!!!!

SophieandZiggy 10-30-2011 05:58 AM

Tazzie
 
So sorry for you and little Tazzie. I am amazed the vet isn't doing more to help.
My little dog had eye surgery recently and afterwards developed vomiting and gastric issues (not as extreme problems as you have) The internist said it was due to esophagitis/gastritis from acid stomach during/post surgery. This can lead to stomach ulcers and bleeding in some cases. He was given Reglan, (nausea, motility), Sucralfate (to coat stomach/ulcers) and Cerenia (very good for preventing nausea and vomiting). All these meds very quickly cured the stomach issues when he was FINALLY put on them! It took some time to figure out it was a real problem!! He was also eating Iams Intestinal/Low residue.
Hope he is feeling better now and all this is not needed! We pray it is not Parvo!
