Great news!!!! Paws and tails still crossed to help Cincy get to feeling 100%!!!:)
good news, hope all stays well.
I may have spoken too soon...
After we got back from the vet, the girls were playing, in the house and I was watching, no big deal. Fed them dinner about 5. (Regular kibble), did a little training, gave them each a couple treats, and they were chewing on rawhide. Ralph got home about 6 and by 6:15 Cincy was vommitting again. we took her to the 24 hour care service and got an injection to stop the vomitting and they gave us some pills for her. They suggested blood work and /or X-rays, but since she has stopped vomitting we opted to bring her home, keep an eye on her and call our vet in the morning. Both vets checked her temp, felt her belly, looked in her mouth and said she looks really good, which is why we decided to wait orvernight. I just feel more comfortable with our own vet, who knows her whole history and has taken care of Sadie for the last 1+ and Cincy since we got her. I am wondering though, is it the rawhide? I was giving them regular, and about 2 weeks ago I started buying pressed rawhide. This started about a week ago. May be a coincedence, but I am taking all rawhide away til we get this figured out....keep thinking of us :) Thanks :)
Cincy'sMom,
The rawhide chews could very well be the cause. I know
some people who give the chew flips everyday & it doesn't
cause any problems but Cincy could be allergic to them. Does
your vet know about the rawhide chew things? Ask them
about it. Prayers & Good Wishes for Cincy. Liz.
Will be thinking good thoughts of Cincy tomarrow that
she has nothing serious and better yet a clean
bill of health.
Good luck at the vets. I hope Cincy feels better real quick!
I hope you'll find what's causing the problem soon!
It's starting to sound like Cincy might have some sort of obstruction. When my Jingles was vomiting continually like Cincy is, X-rays showed multiple foreign objects! The vet kept her for a couple of days, checking her poop, and finally the culprits were passed. If Cincy is eating large chunks of the rawhide, not chewing they well, that might be the problem. I think having her belly x-rayed would be a good idea, ruling out a lot of possible causes. Hugs for sweet Cincy...Please let us know how the visit went. We'll be keeping all things crossed until we hear from you.
Well, we are back from the vet (again :) ) X-Rays showed something in Cincy stomach and colon, but we are not sure what. it seems to be moving through, just taking its own sweet time. No fever, no dehydration, no loss of energy (as Sadie will atest too :) ), and it didn't look like anything was obstructed. So...no food tonight, small breakfast tomorrow, check on her at lunchtime, if no vomitting we should be good to go, if she has vomitted she goes back in for more X-rays/tests. Here's hoping :)
I'm so glad you had that x-ray done. She was acting just like Duncan who had the sticks in his tummy. Now you know what to look for and what to do for her. Hope everything passes fine. Paws and fingers still crossed here for you both.
Glad to hear that at least you now know what you're dealing with and have some direction! We'll continue to hope that with time, this too will pass!;) Give big hugs to the brave Cincy girl!
I'm glad they found a reason for the vomiting. It is really worrisome to see them doing that and not have a reason for it. :(
I never feed my dogs rawhide. I saw a little pup about 4 months old get a soft soggy part stuck in it's throat and almost die. Someone actually did the heimlick on him and he was ok but it was close.
I give mine the super hard nylabones. They are agressive chewers and these things last a long time. It helps keep their teeth white too! :D
Well Cincy's Mom, I just caught up on your thread....Looks like we keep missing each other! Duncan is my dog who ate the butter which turned out to be sticks? or some foreign object in his belly! Crazy dogs!!!
I'm so glad Cincy is feeling better and sorry you had to go through all that. I know how worrisome it is...
Do you have to do "poop patrol" now too? I definitely understand and feel for you!
:p ;) :D
See Jennifer, you're not alone in your "dutiful" doggie responsibilities!!;)
Yes! A poop patrol support group may be just what is needed right now!! Ya think?;) :eek:Quote:
