Macie is still sick. :-( Ok. A few weeks ago, I posted about Macie having bone fragments in her stomach. Heres the link. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...s-stomach.html Well, shes been back and forth to the vet, getting blood tests etc done. She started to get better. She was eating, her stool was normal again. Then, a few days ago, she started refusing to eat again and vomiting liquid again. Her energy dropped dramatically. So I took her to the vet today. They ran a blood and glucose test. The doctor said all her levels were fine. He did tell me he did a Giardia test, but the results wont get back until Wednesday. This whole time, Ive thought Macie still had fragments in her stomach, but the vet said she didnt. (He didnt do an Xray today) The doctor sent me home with a new kind of food and she started vomiting liquid in the car. She vomited a few times, but only 2 times, did she actually spit fluid out. Im to the point of wanting to get a second opinion. My Macie is basically lifeless. She wont even drink water. She just stands there. She wont even lay down or try to walk. I had to actually lay her down myself. Im just not sure what the cause of this could be. Im 100% sure if her test results come back negative for Giardia, I'll be taking her to get an Xray somewhere else. |
I think a second opinion is needed too. Poor baby. I worked in a shelter and they did giardia tests daily and had results right away. I would make an appointment for another vet asap. Keep us posted and keeping her in my prayers. |
Praying that you can find out what's wrong and that Macie gets to feeling better soon. |
Considering your description of "lifeless", I'd go right away to an ER. Tonight. Now. JMHO. |
Your girl needs to go to the ER immediately. Given your description, passing overnight is a possibility without supportive care. I'm one of the last people to drag my dogs to the ER. However in this case there is no question. A barium study should have been done. Yes, you need a second opinion but that can't wait. |

I think if it were giardia she would have very light greasy stools, kind of the color of beach sand and smelly too. Have you noticed that? I hope she is better soon! |

If she got better after eating the bone and then got sick again, it could be unrelated. Doesn't matter now. She needs medical attention. Fluids have to be replaced. |

I truly think you need to go to the ER, asap. Something is not right. You said she is "lifeless" and not even drinking....to me, this sounds like true emergency. I'm not sure what is wrong w/ her, but it does sound very possibly life threatening. I don't want you to lose her. Really worried for her and you. |
I am sorry Macie continues to be sick. She really needs to be seen by a vet ... I would suggest that you contact Megansmomma to see if she can find someone who can help you. I believe that you commented about money being an issue.....here is a previous post from her. I encourage you to reach out to her .... http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/3851752-post33.html |

She started walking around more last night. She's drinking water on her own. I'm taking her to the vet again today. I'm requesting an X-ray. Then taking her to another vet. She's still very weak, so I'm guessing the doctor might put her on an IV. The vet tech said the Giardia test wouldn't be in til either this afternoon or a couple of days. |
Im glad your taking her to vet today Im concerned for her as I know you are also |
