OT Pet News

I hope your pup is better. I am open to all suggestions which could lead to an answer and save her.

I can sympathize. We have a family dog who just turned 14. His name is Watson and he's a mixed breed we got from the Anoka County Humane Society in August of 1994. He's really been deteriorating in the last few months, and we're pretty sure this is his last summer. When I move out of my parents house, I am so getting a dog of my own. No kids. I want a dog! lol ((hugs)) to you and your puppers! Hope she is okay!

If I have to put her down I don't know if I can think of getting another pup this is just to hard.

Hi there  :) How long ago did she get her shots and have they started using anything new at your vet's?  Any new flea or tick treatments?  Are you using any new foods or cleaning products at home (they get it on their paws and then lick it) ?  Could she have eaten something to produce a blockage?  A toy chewed up or anything?  Strings off a booda bone?  An actual piece of bone?  All this from experience  :)  With the rescue and 20+ animals here we see just about everything.  Keep her well hydrated in the very least.  We wrap pills in cheese and even sick sometimes the puppers will take that as a treat.  I've also used baby food meat to feed them but I wouldn't without your vet's ok.  I sure hope she gets better.  There is nothing worse than a wee baby or a pet getting sick.  My heart goes out to you!! *hugs*

Her shots were on the 14th of May, I gave her the HW and Flea/tick on the 23rd of May.  She doesn't have a booda bone and never gets real bones only milk bones.  We don't give her soft toys as she shreds them.  The cheese was working but then she stopped taking that too.  I finally got her to take her anti nausea pill wrapped in some squished up corned beef hash.  After that stayed down about 20 min I was able to get the rest of her meds down and some water then a little food (canned ID).  No new cleaning products but we did start adding the aqua dent to her water after her teeth were cleaned at the end of May.  I will post an update on todays events, it's not looking good. 

I just got home and am so sorry to hear things aren't looking any better.  My heart goes out to you as you go through this nightmare.  I tried to think all day what else it could be. ah heck.. have you checked all the recalled dog foods?  Her kidney function is ok??  My brain is just mush right now... I wish I could be more help. *hugs* to you and I"ll try to check in as I can...

She's been drinking alot of water, her kidneys seem to be ok.  She has been going potty pretty good since we got the vomiting and diahreha (sp) under control.

gwen  Sorry to hear about your baby! I know exactly how you feel we have two now that are like our kids and we spoil them! I will hope with all my heart that she turns around. Jim

Thanks Jim I am going to post an update.
