HOPEY VERY SICK! (but on the mend) WOW! I had the biggest scare yesterday and completely went bonkers! All 4 of my pups have been struggling with some sort of stomach problem for weeks now.. we have been through amoxicillin, Pana..., and now are on Flagyl and we still dont know for sure what it is.... We even had stool samples sent out to LSU Vet school and everyone remails scratching heads.. Hope went to the vet AGAIN Monday with sneezing and coughing, he gave her a cortizone shot and yesterday she would eat AT ALL, would move and just got completely lethargic.. I called the vet in a PANIC and we discussed what to do, he said he would go and see her but if he had to put her on IV for dehydration she would be there alone, I said NO WAY! HE finally suggested that I take her to the 24 hour emergency clinic so if they had to keep her they could watch her overnight. I cried so bad on the way there I made myself sick.. she perked up a bit by the time we got there, they gave her fluid, meds for a low grade fever and sent her home... we seem to be all(4) on the mend but we still (2 vets and LSU) cant know for sure what it is but we are treating all 4 with the flagyl and they all agree it is the best try for now... Hope is still very "tired" but ears are back up and she is barking a bit, even ate a little(they are all on prescription food)... Can I tell you, I am sooo doggie poor right now.. so glad they are at least looking a bit better today! These babies are so precious, I cant beleive I think it hurt me more than them.... d |
Oh Donna, I am so sorry to hear little Hopey and the gang are not well!! Could they have gotten into something that made them sick or perhaps they just have a stomach virus?? I hope you can figure out what it is and get them treated and well soon. Get well wishes going out to Hopey and the rest of the gang!! Destiny says "hope you feel better soon sissy!!":getwell: :nursing: |
Hope all your babies continue to improve.. It's so scary when our babies aren't feeling well. Prayers and well wishes to your whole house!!! |

the vet(s) dont beleive they got into anything because it has come and gone and come back again.... the next step is gastro fungal infection but testing for that requires putting them under so we are waiting until the next meds get a chance to work.. If I can just get Hopey eating again we will be really on the mend... she is actually barking at everything again today so that is a good sign... they definitely have given me a run for my money lately(and taken it all too).. thanks d |
Oh my!!!...you really have your hands full!...are all 4 still ill or is Hope the one that's having the worst case?....It sounds like the meds. are working if she's eating & barking...Prayers & good thoughts for a complete recovery.... |
