Jen has an obstructed intestine! Please say a prayer for her. - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Dan & Corinne · 02-01-2007, 10:10 AM

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts.

Jen thew up 7 times last night and had some diaherra. She's back at the vet this morning and back on fluids. This mornings x-ray showed the blockage moved some. She wanted to eat but the doc said no food for now - I couldn't stand it so I cheated which probably didn't help.

They tested her for Parvo - NEGATIVE - thank goodness! But if she doesn't improve, we are looking at surgery... I will know more later today and will keep you all updated.

I was hoping she would pass whatever is blocked.
She still may, God willing. Good luck and prayer's coming for Jenie.
I can imagine the concern you are feeling at this time.
Take care and keep us updated.

The x-ray showed abnormal gas pockets in her so she stayed all day. When I picked her up her leg was bandaged up to keep the catheter in and they put a EB collar on her so she was a cone head.

Poor baby has to go back tomorrow for another x-ray to see if she is going to poop out what's in her and back on IV to make sure she stays hyderated.

I pray she can poop it out... what in the world could she have eaten? As soon as Dan gets home we are going to check all the toys for holes or missing thread and stuff.

oh my goodness, somehow our little munchkins don't realize that they can get in deep trouble with their chewing habits. I hope Jen does poop it out. At least the vet and you are on top of this. . . I am sure the ordeal will be over soon. In the meantime, my babies are sending slurppy kisses while you are trying to ge through this.

My2Furbabies · 02-01-2007, 10:28 AM

I hope your little baby is doing better!

I am keeping you all in my prayers!

Rudys Mom · 02-01-2007, 10:29 AM

Oh.... I hope she passes whatever is in there. Best Wishes and prayers for a full quick recovery without surgery needed.

I sometimes call my Rudy an ant eater. He has his nose to the ground ALL the time and I just pray that he doesn't get into anything also. Take Care.... both of you.

bettyeanne · 02-01-2007, 04:29 PM

Any news?

kalina82 · 02-01-2007, 04:33 PM

aw poor Jen. Sorry to hear your going thru this. Have then done a barium series on her to see if something is totally blocking the intestines? they will also be able to see more clearly if tha tsomething is moving along better and where it gets stuck.

Also, if they dont' do surgery today or tonight and you get to take her home again, listen to your vet and don't feed her. If she doesn't pass this thing then they definately will need to do surgery and if you've fed her then she'll have problems with going under anesthesia.

i hope she passes it on her own.

peanut · 02-01-2007, 04:33 PM

Oh bless her little heart...Sending prayers & hugs Jen's way...Its moving thats a good sign...so praying she passes it herself....

JillandJack · 02-01-2007, 05:02 PM

Sending hugs your way...thinking of you and Jen.

HisNameIsHarley · 02-01-2007, 05:05 PM

Your poor little girl! I'm so sorry you're going such an ordeal. Make sure not to feed her bc it will only add to the problem. (we had a scare with Harley eating his plastic microchip tag and I felt so bad for not letting him eat but apparently it just builds up in their belly/intestines and just makes things worse

) I really hope she passes it soon. She is definately in my prayers. And please don't feel guilty or blame yourself.. we all do our best for our fuzzies but things like this happen. They just can't figure out that eating things other than kibbles and treats is not good! Hope for an update soon!

Dan & Corinne · 02-01-2007, 05:28 PM

Doc gave her barium (sp?) and he says it's moving through her system smoothly so far. I'll know more in about an hour and will keep you updated.

Good new - no more throw-up but no poop yet...
