Urgent Help Needed!

[Lexi_Lover]

I'm trying to post this quickly in General because more people look here.

Lexi and I went swimming, and then we sat in the sun for a little while, then she got up, went down the deck to the grass, sorry for the grusomness, but starting throwing up, what she was throwing up, I have no clue! Thats why I need your help!

Now heres the urgent part, Lexi threw up 4 times, came back up, sat with me, went back down, got sick 3 more times and then stayed down there and starting eating grass, then got sick AT LEAST 5 more times! I'm getting nervous now, because it was yellow, liquidy and also looked like it had some solidness/chuckiness. It was also projectile! :(

I'm scared that I can't help her, and she looks so tired. Her eyes are dull and have no life! :(

I need help now! Please! Anybody?!?!

I want my Baby all better!

[GoldenLuv]

take her to the vets

[Vette]

This may sound strange... but did you smell her puke and get a real good look at it?

when Kirby got deathly ill he puked up some greenish yellow funky stuff... it almost looked like gravle,, but it wasnt gravle. and it had the most oddest smell to it. its hard to describe...


shes eating grass though.. so maybe thats whats causing her to throw up?

[grybai]

I agree a vet visit is in order. Hoping for the best!

[luvofallhorses]

Please take her to the vet ASAP!

[Kfamr]

It sounds like stomach vile. Has she eaten any food recently? Nala throws up a yellow liquid type stuff when she hasn't eaten anything and her stomach's real empty.

[countrycowgirl]

OH NO!!:( I don't know what to tell you other than try to get her to the vet! I hope that you are feeling better soon Lexi!!:(

[Lobodeb]

That's how it started with Maggy, too. She was just throwing up what I call raw scrambled eggs. Get her to the vet post haste!

[Glacier]

Can she keep down plain ol' water? It's likely that she ate something that isn't agreeing with her digestive system. If she can't keep down even water, then she needs to see a vet. Dehydration can be deadly in a hurry.

Got any kaeopecate? (The forumla without tylenol in it) Give her a bit of that if you have it. It may help settle her stomach. I keep a bottle of it on hand at home for occasional bouts of the pukes!

Has she eaten a large dose of fatty food lately(within the last 12 hours or so)--stolen something or got into the garbage? There's a link between an intake of fat and pancreatitis. Pancreatis causes intense vomiting and needs treatment by a vet immediately.

Don't feed her anything until she has gone at least 12 hours without vomitting. Then offer her a very small meal or some rice and hamburger--just a bit. If she keeps that down for another 12, try feeding normally.

If it doesn't stop soon, get her to a vet.

[beeniesmom]

I hope she's better soon.

[Giselle]

Wow, if she's thrown up more than four times in less than 12 hours (and considering she's barely 20 pounds!), I think you need to get her to the e-vets right now. A dog regurgitating that frequently with such a small body can perish due to dehydration. My advice? VETS ASAP!!!!

[cali]

what Kay said is the same thing I thought, my dogs throw up yellow bile all the time when they are hungry, when was the last time she ate? my dogs are on a schedual when they eat so if there food is delayed they throw up yellow bile.

[Lexi_Lover]

Well, we just got back from 3 emergency vets, Lexi had bloat. :( My poor little girl, thankfully, we caught it early and got her stomach pumped and IV fluids into her. My poor little girl! :(

I was IN TEARS on the way there, she was so quiet! Shes getting better thankfully! I'm so scared that re-bloat will come and she will have to get surgery! :(

Please, send all your prayers towards Lexi in hopes of an early and safe recovery! :( I love you BABY!

[Jadapit]

Omg Paula, I'm sorry.:( Did she get to come home with you or is she still at the vets? You both will be in my thoughts and prayers!

[Laura's Babies]

I am glad you got her to the vet and now know what is wrong and she is feeling better.. Poor babies, they depend on US to know what to do and without us..... well, who knows what would happen to them.

[Lexi_Lover]

Lexi is on critical watch at an emergency vet right now. Her stomach inflamed to 6 times its size. My poor little girl! :( I can't sleep, I can't eat, I can't do anything except worry about her! :(

[Jadapit]

I'm truly sorry Paula. I know you are scared to death and sick with worry. Lexi will be fine she has to be. We are all pulling for her.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Oh No!! Please get better soon little Lexi!! We're praying so hard for you and we will be praying as long as you need prayers. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Terry, Daisy, and Delilah

[CagneyDog]

Ditto!

Hope Lexi gets better soon.

[cloverfdx]

Get well soon Lexi :(.

[Lexi_Lover]

Thanks everybody! I don't know when we will be called to go back, but hopefully, everything will be alright!

I missed her last night, and I could not DO ANYTHING without thinking about her. Her and all those breathign tubes and oxygen masks, it was very hard to stand. It was hard holding up the IV bag on the way there, I never thought I would need to! :( I hope shes alright, and at this point, we need our baby back, cost doesn't matter!

Again, thank you! I may be able to update you later with pics of my girl!

[vinjashira]

I sincerely hope Lexi gets better soon :(

[finn's mom]

oh, paula, i know we're chatting, but, i wanted to say that i'm sorry i just saw this thread. i hope lexi makes a full recovery.

[Lexi_Lover]

I was just thinkign about this now, but it was so helpless when Lexi went into the flower bush, lied down and just hid herself. I was so scared! Shes my baby! We ahve to go to the vet's again today to see if she'll eat any food. My poor Baby!

Hopefully, you all won't need to go through this with your beloved puppers! :(

[swimma253]

Oh poor Lexi. I hope she is feeling better soon!

[robinh]

I just saw the thread.:(

Come on baby girl, you can do this! Get well soon. You have my prayers coming too.

[Albea]

Prayers and good, healing thoughts going Lexie's way. I hope you recover quickly little girl.

[anna_66]

I seen this last night and was hoping that it was just a tummy ache, sooo sorry to hear it wasn't:(

I've been through bloat with my RB Keisha and I know how horrible it is. She didn't make it, but I'm so glad to hear that Lexi is getting the medical attenion she needs. I'm also glad that you caught it in time (sadly I did not:().

When you see her, give her a big hug from me.

I'll be saying prayers and thinking of you both.

[Lexi_Lover]

Thanks Anna!

And everybody else!

I'll be sure to give Lexi many kisses and *maybe* hugs if shes up to it from you all! We're leaving in a couple minutes to see is she'll eat anything. Please keep your prayers coming!

I'm so glad we caught, and I thank the vets SO much who fought to save my little girl's life! *cries*

[senorita02]

Oh no, i am just now seeing this thread, i am sooo sorry for you and poor Lexi, i sure hope she is doing much better by now, i will be thinking of you both!

[Lexi_Lover]

Thank you!

We are going to visit Lexi at 7:00 tonight. Its 2:57PM right now! I'm so anxious to go visit my lil' girl. They will try and feed her every 2 hours, and if she keeps the food down she will get to come home tonight. If she brings it back up, they will have to keep her there another night.

Please pray that everything is ok with my girl! :(

[luvofallhorses]

UPPY DATE! (http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=84446)

I think bloat is casued by dogs sawllowing air.. and since they cant burp or fart quite like we can(sorry for the details) their stomachs kinda 'ballown' inside the dog.

dogs are kinda like horses.... once you give them a good run,, dont give them any water or food unless you want a colic(Sp?) horse.

bloat is also prone in Poodles. so its also something i fear.

*huggies* i hope she gets better real soon.
