Another reason to take your pet to the vet ASAP!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

SandyGrace45 · 02-02-2013, 08:25 PM

On Wednesday, I went in to shower and came out to find Marcie vomiting blood and passing bright red blood!! I called my vet who was out for the day and the office sent me to the emergency clinic in Tampa, 40 minutes from my home. When I got there she was already showing signs of shock even though she hadn't passed any more blood. It had only been a total of an hour and a half!! She is 4 pounds.
She has hemorrhagic pancreatitis. She ended up staying in the hospital for two days with IVs and medications. The vet told me she could have died if I had waited until the next day to have her checked!! Scary!!!
I got to take her home last evening. She is doing very well....Thank Goodness!!

I am so glad that Marcie is doing well. I know how very scary this can be. I had this same thing happen to my Allie last year at about this same time.

Thank you for sharing your story with us. You are a wonderful mom. I hope your baby heals quickly and stays healthy.

So glad she doing well, it is a GREAT reminder of how quickly these little ones go down hill.

Buster Brown · 02-03-2013, 08:37 AM

I hope Marcie are feeling better today.

Nancy1999 · 02-03-2013, 08:50 AM

So glad you acted quickly and the doctor was able to save Marcie. I know so many people, especially over the weekends, don't always act fast enough, but it can make the difference of life and death in a toy breed. Sending healing prayers for Marcie!

ladyjane · 02-03-2013, 11:27 AM

Thank goodness you got her in! I am curious...is it hemmorrhagic pancreatitis or hemmorhagic gastroenteritis? Either one is dreadful...just curious because I have
not seen one with the first one.
Prayers that she will be ok. Scary stuff.

Perrella · 02-03-2013, 12:07 PM

Just saw this, glad to read Marcie is doing better. Sending prayers for your sweetie.

brezofleur · 02-03-2013, 12:31 PM

I'm so glad you reacted so fast. How sad, poor little thing! I'm also really happy to hear that she's home now. Bet she's really happy to be back home in Mommy's arms.

I am so glad you acted quickly and she is doing better.

yorkietalkjilly · 02-03-2013, 01:30 PM

What a good mommie you were and how glad I am you weren't at work or shopping when this happened!!! I hope your sweet little one is back 100% very quickly and no doubt she will be, in no small part due to your quick and proper actions getting her excellent vet care ASAP.

My lil friend · 02-03-2013, 02:10 PM
