Koko - Traveling Dog Around Town

Addy: Maybe he ate something he is allergic to or perhaps a virus. Always something with our furbabies. Probably nothing serious, just food related and he will be good as new in a day or two. Hope the ER vet finds out what is wrong. Love, JoAnne

I would certainly get Koko to a vet. His eye issues could be a number of things from something that got into them as well as Conjunctivitis.

The vomiting would have me worried when you combine the two along with the coughing - could be a bacterial or viral infection.

Please keep us posted

PS - are you able to open his eyelids and are they completely inflamed?

How is he now, Addy? I hope you can get him in. Let us know what you learn. Boy, a day for emergencies! Had to take Trink in this morning.

Oh no..I hope Koko is alright. I am anxious to hear what the vet says ( I am assuming you got him him)..There seems to be so much going around with our furkids..hugs Lynda

GP said go to ER so of we went. Just got back. Nothing in xray- insides look good, no blockage. Eye pressure good, no tear, no scratch, no ulcer, both eyes look a bit inflamed, does not think the eyes ar related to the pepcid and wants me to give him pepcid for 3 days BID:eek::eek::eek: Thats why I am there:confused::confused:
Gave him an anti nausea shot, gave him fluids, no food or water until 6pm tonight. If he can hold water down, start small amounts of bland diet. Likely diagnosis: stress collitis, intestinal parasites, dietary indiscretion, not sure why his eyes are showing signs of mild irritation.

If we do not see improvement further evaluation is needed:
ingested foreign body, Addison's or liver disease.

You know this is the second time someone mentioned Addisons regarding Koko. GP said that possibility when she was all worked up about his urine and protein I think being high normal.

I have never seen his eyes like this, so I dont get it. He is still squinting and closing them.

I am ordering sliipery elm today and I am not giving him any more pepcid, I dont care what they say.

what about benadryl? could it be allergies? poor guy

sweet Addy,

Glad they found nothing serious with Koko, and hoping his eyes are healed real soon from whatever is bothering him.

As for Pepcid, I am with you. I will never give my girl it ever again as every time I did, she would vomit coincidentally. I think my poor girl is sensitive to most drugs, vetoryl, Pepcid, antibiotics.

Hope you are doing well also.

We love you.

Dearest Sister Addy,

I am hoping it isn't something at the groomers he is allergic too. Just weird how it all came on after that. Could he be allergic now to a certain shampoo or something new they used and it is still on him??? Of course he would be itching a lot all over, so....

I guess he just wanted some attention like Zoe....:D:p

I am squeezing you tight (((((HUGS)))))

Take care!!!!:)

I dont know, he looks sicker now then he did when I first took him to ER. Poor little guy.:(

I feel so bad for him, the look on his face when he picks up his head. I'm going to go cuddle in bed with him.

I'm trying to see what shot they gave him, the bill says Maropitant Citarte 10mgs/ml. I guess I'll go look that up. All he had to eat so far today was 1/4 cup of rice.:(:(:(:(

I have not seen any more blood from Zoe, thank God!!!! Jeez Louise, I think in my next life I'll get gold fish.

At least there was not a blockage, I was worried he ate some toy at the groomers.

Dear Addy,
I am so sorry for what you all are going thru. I was just wondering if the groomer used some new shampoo and it got into Koko's eyes, or possibly does your groomer use "The Stuff" It's a silicone based spray that many groomers use to aid in quick drying and detangling. It keeps the dogs hair / fur a bit shiny and slick to also help in staying cleaner longer, but it also builds up like hairspray.

If that accidentally got into Koko's eyes, it could definitely have affected and irritated his eyes. If it gets spayed on the floor, it's very slippery much more so than wax. Many groomers use it to speed up the drying and grooming process.

It's worth an ask, The label recommends rinsing the dogs eyes out immediately for at least 15 minutes if accidental overspray gets into the eyes.

More hugs, prayers and good thoughts coming your way.
