Sharlene -- just catching up and I am so sorry to learn that Molly is feeling poorly. Hopefully, fluids will help. Wondering if you could get some nutri-cal into her. Putting some on your finger and then on the roof of her mouth is one way to get it in if she won't lick it off your finger. Definitely not time for a birthday celebration --
Big hugs sent your way and prayers that Molly will perk up!
So sorry to hear that little Molly isn't feeling too good at the moment. :(
I hope the vet was able to help. Do they think it could be a reaction to the vaccinations - I know some can cause our pups to feel a bit under the weather for a few days.
Big but gentle hugs from Henry and me xx
& Happy Birthday, even though you may not feel like celebrating
They gave her fluids which helped I think.
Took bloods. Gave her an anti nauseous shot.
Sent her home with some GI can food, which she promptly turned her nose up at. So, she still won't eat or even take treats but at least not dehydrated right now.
Her tummy showed some tenderness, so could be pancreatis, there was mention of possible kidney infection, but not as high on the list. We'll know more once bloods come back. IMS to be consulted. So hopefully tomorrow we'll have the bloods back and know more, although I never seem to get the bloods back as fast through the regular vets as through the specialist.
So, lets hope she perks up and eats a bit tonight. I feel better after having these sort of frank, technical discussions than when things are just emotional.
Oh!!! I just heard a noise in the kitchen, turned around and I'd left a liver crunchy treat beside her food bowl to try to entice her in that direction. She is crunching on the liver treat now that is what I heard Hopefully she will also eat a bit of the gi food. The vet said dogs normally love it but with a kidney problem dog, you never know. I'll pick up chicken to cook later and maybe do some chicken rice mush if she doesn't eat this. I'll try anything!!!
So this is a positive! whew hope it holds up. Even when she is finicky she never turns down treats, so that was a definite tell for us that she wasn't right and the vet agreed, definitely something not right but they have to figure out what.
Usually for a vaccine reaction, they'd give steroids but can't with molly.
Yay for liver crunchy treats! OK then, here's hoping this will start her eating again, at least a bit. Thanks so much for the update and now we'll have to try to stay patient for the results...so hard to do! :o
she ate some of the GI food too!
This is good. I'm going to treat it like pancreatis which it could be and give her small amounts throughout the day.
Hopefully she will drink enough too. She is now having a nap on her bear skin rug, which is where she has been all day. I blocked behind the couch as I'll never get her out if something is wrong.
Oh that is so good!! :) :)
Now maybe you can go ahead and pour yourself a tall glass of wine and actually give some thought to your birthday, Sharlene. Although Molly eating is probably the best present of all! ;) ;)
Oh, I am so so glad she ate the treat and then some food! I hope she continues to perk up as the night progresses! Go, Molly, go!!!!!
Whew! Thank goodness Molly has eaten something, even if just a little bit. Abbie loves her gi low fat food and will eat it even if she won't eat anything else so, hopefully, Molly will do the same.
I totally agree with Marianne -- definitely time for a big birthday glass of wine and time to get your blood pressure back down to normal!
OMG!!!!!! Sooooo this is what happens when I'm at work!! :o
So glad she ate some. What a bummer birthday, but you certainly can have a redo, when things are more settled. Tell hubby that I said so!;)
Yes, we remain with you. You are stuck with us!!!
Sending you much love and birthday wishes and healing energy to our little diva.
Thanks for keeping us posted. xxxooo
