I was really hoping no one on here would be affected by this. I am very sorry

I hope and pray that your babies will recover. Many pets have recovered and are doing ok. I'm hopeful that yours will be among them. I'm so sorry that you are going through this heartbreak. Wishing you and your dogs the best outcome.

I went to a dog show and my dogs got sick when I got home. There were a couple of dogs there that had upset stomachs so I assumed my dogs had picked up a virus. I gave them Imodium and kept feeding them. When they started passing pure blood, I took them to the vet. He said that the GI tract was inflamed and gave them a/d food and told me to give them lots of water.
All but my 3 smallest got better. My girl Nona is very lethargic. She has a stage 5 heart murmur so she is not healthy anyway. Deuce seems to be feeling better but still has a very loose stool. My tiny boy Ace only weighs 3 lbs. He just lays on his bed and drools. Normally, he is a very active little guy.
He is fearless. He will challenge the biggest dog at the show. It's hard to watch this fun, active little dog suffer. He will look at me and his eyes seem to be pleading for help. I think he will die.

My vet is treating symptoms and has told me what to watch and when to take him the the ER vet. I have an appointment to take them to an internal med vet next week.

Thank you for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. I will keep you all informed.

I'm so incredibly sorry that you're poor pups are sick.

Like everyone said, don't blame yourself - you could not have foreseen this. Try to stay strong for your little ones and I hope they all recover quickly.

Did they do blood test to check for renal or kidney failure? When I took my two to the vet Monday because they had been on Iams pouches but were not showing symptoms the first thing the vet did was do the blood chemistry panel to see if their organs were functioning. Mine fortunately as of now are good but we were advised organ failure can still come on in the future and so we will have to watch them for some time.

Shelby&Seymour · 03-23-2007, 02:30 PM

So sorry! Hope that you can get the best of treatment from your vet...... and that they have a good recovery. Lots of thoughts with you and your furbabies.

Yes, they have all had blood tests for renal failure. 3 dogs test were within normal limits and the others were not.

Oh my gosh, I'm sorry to hear that. My vet said their were some treatments for acute failure, but chronic was harder to treat. I hope the best for you.
