Reggie Throwing Up *update, on 2nd page*

[Hellow]

Ok guyes, before i say anything, I cant take her to the vet! I had to borrow $10 to buy a water bottel for my gerbil. So here is the story, my dog has been throwing up all morning and she wont stop. Im starting to get annoyed and worried at the same time.

[Vela]

Do you know if she got into anything? Did she get any new table scraps? Did she eat anything new? What is the vomit like, digested dog food, yellow bile, or like poop? Is she still drinking water?

[Hellow]

She hasent goten into anything at all. My mom just fed her and she wont eat. She is throwing up orange brown throwup.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Phone a vet now! - explain the problem with Reggie and your finances and hope they will help you anyway

[Hellow]

My mom just did, they say that you have to pay all up front, no payment plans.

[Vela]

My advice, obviously, is to take her to a vet. I would phone several vets and explain the situation. It doesn't sound good. As small as she is she needs to stay hydrated. What do you feed her?

Also, try to get her to drink as often as possible. Don't give her any dog food. Give her chicken or beef broth, low sodium. Rest her stomach for 18 hours or so, other than water and broth. If she cannot hold down water and broth, she needs to see a vet right away. If she develops any pain she needs to see a vet right away. If she is not using the bathroom she may have a blockage.

If she can hold down broth and water, gradually start her back on boiled rice and hamburger or chicken, mixed. You can cook the rice with broth to make it more appealing. Feed her small amounts at a time for the next couple of days and gradually transition her back onto normal food.

[Hellow]

Ok thanks. She has stopped throwing up, for now. If she starts throwing up again i will follow your advice.

[Hellow]

Ok she has been throwing up all day. She wont eat or drink a thing. I need help now!

[Whisk_Luva]

Take her 2 the V-E-T-S please?

[buttercup132]

Can't afford the vet, can't afford the pet.

[Ginger's Mom]

You let your dog throw up all day then wait until 5:00 to post on a website? That doesn't make sense to me.

[K9soul]

Ok she has been throwing up all day. She wont eat or drink a thing. I need help now!

Just what exactly kind of "help" are you wanting? You've been given advice, there is nothing any of us can do over the internet, we are not vets here. If your dog is sick, take her to the vet. A lot of your posts seem suspiciously "baiting" in nature.

[critter crazy]

I know you have already said you cannot afford the vets, but This dog needs to go to the vets!! There is nothing here anyone can tell you, that is going to stop your dog from Continuing to throw up! The dog is obviously sick, if it has been throwing up all day! Please figure something out and take the dog to a vet! Have you checked with any shelters, for low cost vet care?? There has to be someone around that can help out, even if it is borrowing the money from family or friends!

[Miss Z]

Beg, borrow or steal, that dog needs veterinary attention. There's nothing we can do over the internet for her. I hope you can find a solution as soon as possible.

[Aspen and Misty]

A lot of your posts seem suspiciously "baiting" in nature.

Glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this.

Take your dog to the vet, she needs medical attention. She could possibly be dehidrated by now.

Ashley

I agree as well.

The dog needs to go to the vet. There is nothing we can do for you.

[Husky_mom]

in the meanwhile try get her to drink some pedyalite so she doesn´t dehydrates more.......

she really needa to see a vet, you might need to look deeper for one that can have payments......... or can´t you charge on a credit card/ mom´s credit?

if she has been trowing up all day and hasn´t eaten anything different sh might as well have a blockage since yesterday....... and just today started the symptoms, did she had anything last night?

check her mouth for foreing objects........ check her temp....... how´s her nose (check dryness)

[buttercup132]

He said a hour ago that he couldn't even afford gas to get him to a different vet that was 30 miles away that could possibly help with a payment plan. But apparently his dad was on his way home to pick them up and get them to the vet?:confused: He said that he some how got a appointment into his regular vet and they are going. I don't know it sounds weird to me but thats what he said.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Something sounds fishy to me..

[theterrierman]

My B.S. Detector just passed the red line and died.

[Vela]

My B.S. Detector just passed the red line and died.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

[cassiesmom]

Reggie, what has your dog put out today? Has she urinated? Has she passed stool?

[Roxyluvsme13]

My B.S. Detector just passed the red line and died.
LOL.

If you're so concerned why did you wait ALL day to ask for help?

LMAO!

[Hellow]

Ok, heres an update. My vet said that they needed at least $40 to take her in for treatment. So my dad borrowed $60 to take her. They said that it was probably a bacterial infection in her stomach and she has to take these pills until they run out and she has to eat special food. They said she wasent dehydrated but they gave her an injection of water just to be safe. I cant give her water until 11:00 est and food until 12:00 est. They also said that she was 5lb overweight so i need to cut her food intake by 1/4. They said that if she begins vomiting in the morning to take her back because that could be a sign of Parvo.

[cassiesmom]

Ok, heres an update. They said that it was probably a bacterial infection.

Take that, skeptics! But, back to my original question, Reggie - has she put out any urine or stool today? How can she not be dehydrated if she was vomiting all morning and took almost nothing in? I'm glad they gave her some fluids while she was there. Good Luck with her. She's adorable!

[Hellow]

thanks. No, she hasent peed or pooped all day.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Um, I thought only puppies got parvo? :confused:

[k9krazee]

Um, I thought only puppies got parvo? :confused:

No, it's just much more common in young dogs.

[Roxyluvsme13]

No, it's just much more common in young dogs.
Okay. Whoever told me that lied then.

[Hellow]

Yeah they did

[critter crazy]

Here is a link on Parvo facts, and yes adult dogs can get it as well.

http://www.workingdogs.com/parvofaq.htm

[Hellow]

cool...

[Flatcoatluver]

Silly Troll, pet talk is for people!

[Hellow]

God. I am going to report you.

[luvofallhorses]

She NEEDS to see a vet asap! and parvo is very deadly so I would get her in ASAP! and if she has it which I hope to God she doesn't you cannot bring in anymore puppies/young dogs in your house for a long time because it lives in the ground and can stay there for years. how old is she? and I would get her into the vet asap if she hasn't went to the bathroom all day. :(

[Lady's Human]

If you take a deep breath, and look back a page, you'll see the pup did get to the vet.

[Roxyluvsme13]

There's no use in calling people trolls and there's no use in reporting anybody. Everybody just take a deep breath and calm down.

[Whisk_Luva]

Agreed. Even if you dont believe it.

[Pam]

Well this poster seems to enjoy posting threads that are alarming. I recently read where he/she couldn't afford a water bottle for his/her gerbil and refused to use a weighted water bowl. If this person is for real, I think they should re-home all of their pets. There is not enough money for proper care. This may or may not be a troll but I for one will not be reading any more of their posts. :rolleyes:

[Miss Z]

Silly Troll, pet talk is for people!

I can't tell you how much I love that phrase. Pure genius. :p

Or perhaps, should I say, very 'interelectuelly' put? ;)

Well, at the end of the day, I hope this dog really is receiving proper treatment and that she recovers.

[dragondawg]

If you take a deep breath, and look back a page, you'll see the pup did get to the vet.

Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with catsup.



You rang? :D

On the subject title...very unclear as to why the Vet wants to with hold water from the dog, yet does a sc injection of water just in case the dog is dehydrated. :confused:

Yes adult dogs, especially those not previously vaccinated can come down with Parvo. If previously vaccinated and they still come down with it, then most likely the vaccination was given inappropriately or was damaged in some way to decrease its potency so as to not invoke an immune response. Given that Parvo is endemic in dog populations most dogs are exposed to Parvo at regular intervals throughout their lives.

In adult dogs Parvo is usually not serious unless the immune system is compromised. The virus itself prefers the very rapidly dividing cells of the intestinal lining in puppies. In adult dogs the intestinal lining is not growing and dividing as quickly. Thus the virus does not propagate as fast in adult dogs, resulting in a milder disease.

Of course all of this conversation is assuming it's Parvo, and instead it could be the equivalent of food poisoning resulting in an intestinal bacterial infection.

In either case the chances are with the antibiotics for the bacterial infection or to prevent a secondary infection as a result of Parvo (or Rota, or Reo) virus, along with a bland precription diet, puppy-dog will soon have all 4 paws on the ground again.

Another PT crisis over! :cool:

This is me. I am in a finantial rough spot, THATS WHY! God! How many times do i have to post this?

[K9soul]

I think this is all to mimic another thread going on in the cat sections. Odd how he loves the phrase "financial rough spot."

Quote from mimicked thread:
.. and we're in another rough spot.

[Hellow]

no, that wasent to mimic anything,but the facts are true.

I don't get it
Reggie ... How is your dog today?

[Muddy4paws]

still have the blue gums? :rolleyes: I didnt believe this "Reggie" so I was asking random questions about the dog having blue gums and apparently he did. I

Amazing how trolls search the internet for infomation for their stories.

[Hellow]

My dog is doing great today. She is eating and drinking normally, although she still has to eat the special food and take the medicine.

[Roxyluvsme13]

I'm in a financial rough spot too, but if my pets really had to go to the vet for an emergency we would find a way.

And if you can't even afford a water bottle for your Gerbil, I agree you need to rehome your pets.

[Hellow]

My dad gets paid every friday when we go buy everything we need for the week. What is left over goes into the gas tank. If a situation arises, as in the case of reggie, my dads's boss would lend us some money, which is how we got reggie to the vet.

[luvofallhorses]

I would save some up some money just incase this happens again. :) it's always a great idea to have a savings account for situations like this.

[K9karen]

Bottom line...I'm glad Reggie is doing OK

[critter crazy]

hmmm...interesting. You suggest rehoming to him, but you wont even let any of us suggest the same for your pets without getting mad! :rolleyes:

[Roxyluvsme13]

hmmm...interesting. You suggest rehoming to him, but you wont even let any of us suggest the same for your pets without getting mad! :rolleyes:
Because my situation is different. And you don't know the whole story.

And I don't know Reggie's story either, but was just agreeing with something someone else said.

Again, everyone has to pick out my flaws. :rolleyes:

Oh for crying out loud! The whole world does not revolve around you and I think critter crazy made a valid point.

I'm not picking on you or pointing out any flaws but surely you can see the irony of your post

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Talk about how to win friends and influence people :rolleyes:

All I was saying, is if You wont entertain the Option, why throw it at someone else!!
And I am not even going to touch the Vet comment!!

[buttercup132]

hmmm...interesting. You suggest rehoming to him, but you wont even let any of us suggest the same for your pets without getting mad! :rolleyes:I bit my tounge at that comment too. I don't see how it's much different other then he's getting money from people he knows instead of people over the internet.
Bri you don't know the WHOLE of Reggie's story.
Seems like you two would get along great.

[Hellow]

Well, i hate posting the dame thing over and over again.

[Muddy4paws]

well if u stopped pretending your dog was ill you wouldnt need to defend yourself. :rolleyes:

[Vela]

well if u stopped pretending your dog was ill you wouldnt need to defend yourself. :rolleyes:

HAHAHAHA =x

[Hellow]

I wasent pretending. Do you want to see pics of the stuff the vet gave me?

[Muddy4paws]

I wouldnt want to embarrase you by saying yes.

remember our chat?

I asked if your dog had "blue gums" because I apparently knew a dog that had parvo, I was seeing if u were lying or not and u answered yes thinking it was the right answer. So go ahead. IF the very unlikely event that you are telling the truth then I suggest next time your dog is ill you get off your lazy a** and so something about it and not sit online spamming chat rooms with "lol" dozens of times. Sorry that isnt behaviour of someone whos dog is "dying".

:rolleyes:

[Hellow]

No, that IS the right question to ask. I asked the vet.

[Flatcoatluver]

:rolleyes:
Yes, your behavior in gabbly was certainly not one of a dying dog. So if this is a real situation, I feel deeply sorry for your dog. For you to be on the internet all day long, and not by your dog's side helping him. Or even calling all your local vets to see what they think you can do to help him. I'm sorry but if I was in you shoes, I wouldn't care how far away the vet is, I would walk there. That's why your dog is suppost to be your best friend. But offiously not yours in this case.

I would love to see pictures of what the vet gave you.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Again.. everyone just take a deep breath, calm down. No need to cuss at anybody. It just gets you nowhere. And Reggie, just to prove you are not a troll, show us pictures of the things the vet gave you.

That way, everyone can stop arguing. Arguing also gets you nowhere.

And nobody take this as another ironic post. I would say the same thing in my own personal conflict, but things are actually getting places. Here, we are getting nowhere.

Oh, yeah. And, i have yet to tell the vet our new adress so that is not our adress. And, if you look at the date you will see that that page is current.

P.S. sorry about the quality. I only have my crappy camera because mt dad had to borrow my good one. But if you want i can try to scan the medicine bottles label to get better quality.

[CathyBogart]

Look....I'm a broke college student with a dog and NO JOB. When he got sick I started walking instead of driving, increased the deductibles on my car insurance, sold almost 30 of my DVDs and a BUNCH of my other stuff while eating ramen and handouts from my understanding friends. I borrowed and begged and pleaded. Lo and behold, the $375 vet bill was paid off inside of a week.

If it happens again, my computer and net connection will be gone along with a few pieces of my jewelry, and furniture if I need to...in a heartbeat.

I'm sick of hearing people whine about not having any money to pay vet bills. It's just money, what's that compared to a family member? It's not impossible to find some on short notice. It's not even that difficult most of the time. If you truly can't come up with a small amount when your pet is in a potentially LIFE-THREATENING situation, perhaps it is time to find someone who can.

[Hellow]

I told everyone that if another situation was to arise my dad would borrow money from his boss.

[Kalei]

I hope that your poochie gets much better soon Reggie and with lots of prayers you will be able to come up with money no problem and your doggy will be healed:)

I'll pray for your dog.:)

LMAO!!


I really hope the dog is doing better. and make sure you edit your post to block off your address, even if it old, your mom's name is still on there.

[angelbow20]

OK everybody really needs to stop yelling at him now he had proof that she saw a vet and he was only trying to tell everyone how good she is doing now and everyone is still being mean about it. It would be different if he didnt have the proof so please just stop with the mean comments. I am happy Reggie is doing better :)

[Catlady711]

Anyone notice on that invoice that the vaccinations are all almost a year expired or am I the only one? Sorry can't help noticing things like that, reminds me of recieving faxed records at work, I'm trained to look for things like that to bring to the dr's attention. lol

My blind eyes didn't register the 06. Instead I was focused on the month. Did notice the dog's name in this thread was "Reggie" and the dog's name on the Vet papers was "Little Reggie" - two different dogs? Nit pick. :D

Note to Reggie: Get the Rabies vaccination, else you'll be posting soon about how your little dog nipped a stranger, and your parents can't afford a lawyer. Ask for the 3 yr Rabies vaccine. The rest of the vaccines can be skipped- assuming Reggie is 2 yrs of age or older. If still 1 yr of age then the Parvo-Distemper as a booster is needed. After that you can skip 2-3 years or more.

Dogs are low cost, low maintenance when young. When they get old, that's when the Vets catch up on the revenue side. You really need a Reggie fund set up now via a part time job. Expenses are not going down in future years.

In my state if the Rabies vaccination is more than 3 months overdue they can only get a 1 year Rabies. I'm sure that varies by state though.

[dragondawg]

In my state if the Rabies vaccination is more than 3 months overdue they can only get a 1 year Rabies. I'm sure that varies by state though.

Interesting. I did a quick scan and it seems the 1 yr is favored as a booster if a vaccinated dog has come into contact with a rabid animal. Speculation here... it could be the 1 yr version evokes a faster ananestic response(?). Thus the preference for it in lasped vaccinations? I'll leave it to you to ask all your Vets at the office. ;)

I couldn't find any specific information on the regulations for my county here in Carolina per lapsed vaccinations. They do state if your dog has tangled with a raccoon or other potentially rabid animal it should receive a booster within 72 hrs- even if up to date on its rabies vaccination. Also found out that without the rabies tags (I gave up trying to keep them on), puppies are free game for the local dog catcher to pick up. Clover, Barney... run for it!!! :eek:
