Toby's at the vets =(

[ComedyDevil]

I'm so scared

Last night Toby was quieter then usual, and he threw up a few times. I was gonna take him to the vet's in the morning if he wasn't any better. This morning he seemed ok, back to his old self. I thought he was ok. And then at lunchtime he started throwing up again, he was coughing a lot and breathing real heavy, he wouldn't eat anything and he hadn't drunk since the night before.

On the way to the vets he collapsed and he was hardly breathing as soon as we got him to the vets they put him straight on fluids, they said his blood pressure was very high and he was dehydrated. Once they stabalised him they did an emergency surgery to find out what's happening, part of his intestine is swollen and he's losing proteins through his stomach lining - they don't yet know what's caused it.

We've had to leave him at the vets. He's still having trouble breathing. The vet said he only has a 50% chance of making it through the night.

I'm so scared, I feel so terrible for not noticing it sooner, and not knowing why it's happening. He can't die, he's my first dog, and he's only 8, he's too young to die. If he dies I will kill myself, and I'm serious. I know that sounds stupid and OTT, and I know he'll have to leave sometime, but not yet, I can't let him go yet. I'm so scared, please pray for him.

Oh dear. You keep your thoughts positive and trust your vet to do the right thing for Toby. I know you are worried, but we are here for you and I will definitely be keeping your Toby in my prayers. Keep us posted, and go see him when you can. It will help him to see you, even if he is still in a drugged state.

Oh no Oh, please hang in there. I know how terrified you must be, but Pet Talk prayers have been known to work miracles. Please don't blame yourself. It's not something you could have seen coming. Hopefully they'll be a noticeable improvement following the fluid replacement, then hopefully they can find out what's causing this Lots and lots of prayers and postive thoughts for your beloved Toby are on the way. He's such a beautiful Labbie boy. We're here for you. Please don't think of doing anything drastic. Your pups need you and we're here for you. Check in when you can. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Sandra

I'm so sorry to hear this. I know how scary it is when they're really sick. I almost lost Duke about a year and a half ago so I know how you feel. Please don't give up on Toby and go see him as often as you can. I think that's the best medicine you can give him. I hope they can help Toby to be happy and well again.

Oh Amy, my dear friend, I wish I'd seen this sooner. I'm praying and praying and praying that Toby will be fine.

You are NOT a bad mom for not noticing sooner. They fool us sometimes and make us think it's just a bug, or that they're ok when they're not. I know how much you love Toby, Squid, and Ollie. Those kids are EVERYTHING to you and I know, that you know that you haven't let Toby down. You're just worried and scared, as anyone would be.

I hugged Chester & Millie and said a little prayer for Toby & you. I don't pray often, so I don't know how much weight my voice carries, but PTer's prayers are miraculous.

Please, please keep us updated.

Prayers coming your way for Toby. It's so hard when out beloved pets can't talk. Glad he's being treated, and saying many prayers that he'll do fine.

[Pitties are my life]

I hope Toby is ok. Don't kill yourself. Thats definitly not the right thing to do. If your having suicidal thoughs perhaps you should see someone

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I am so sorry I'll keep praying that he'll be OK, I know how that feels (I almost lost my RB Jesse 2 years ago from Pancreatitis) and don't blame yourself, it's not your fault sometimes things like this happen unexpectedly. Please update us as soon as you know what's happenning. ((((hugs))))
