Lilly

[Logan]

I haven't wanted to alarm anyone here and have been in hopes that whatever it was that caused my Lilly to start throwing up and not eating would have passed by now, but it is not to be. She has been at the vet every day since last Monday (2/5) for xrays, fluids, antibiotics, blood work, etc. I won't go into all the details of what he has done, but it has been a lot. She is one sick puppy and hasn't eaten without being force fed in 10 days now. And she has lost a significant amount of weight, as you can imagine, since she hasn't been eating. He has consulted with experts in the field of gastointestinal medicine and every one he has spoken with is as baffled as he is at this point. Her bloodwork has been in normal range, except for a high white count early last week.

Today she will have exploratory surgery to see if there is any obvious reason for her problems. Hopefully, if there is something obvious, it is something that can be "fixed".

Lilly is 7 1/2 years old, a lovely Golden Retriever girl. Please keep her in your prayers.

Oh dear, poor Lilly! Tell her she has my sympathy - I have that (throwing up, not wanting to eat) reaction to some of my food allergies, so I know her pain.

What food does Lilly eat?

[elizabethann]

Sending a prayer Lilly's way. Please keep us posted. I'd be curious to know if they find something. Fenway went to the vet's a couple of weeks ago and they did a ton of tests (he wasn't eating, drinking and he was lethargic). But they didn't find anything and they thought he may have eaten something bad.

I will pray that Lilly gets better really quick. Take care.

Oh dear. Lily and you arein my prayers. Please, Lily, get well soon!

[LoudLou]

Awww, Lilly. Sorry to hear you are feeling icky. Love to you and your family.

What food does Lilly eat?

Unfortunately, none, right now. But on a normal day, she has the same thing that her Golden Retriever sister, Honey, eats, and that is California Natural Reduced Calorie Lamb and Rice. Honey is having no problems.

Thanks for the prayers, you guys. That's what helps me, right now. I do know that Dr. Robinson has explored every single possibility. She took a huge amount of food, through the syringe, this morning, and didn't throw it back up, so he is holding off, right now, on doing any kind of surgery. Of course, if her appetite doesn't come back, he will be forced to do that, anyway. They are doing yet another complete blood panel this afternoon and a urinalysis. I doubt they will do surgery until tomorrow, at this point.

I'll keep you posted, as I can.
