Paws Crossed please!

When I first read your post earlier today I was hoping they would do a barium, I honestly don't think they can detect worms with just a regular x-ray, in fact *almost* all blockages can only be deteced via barium. I've rarely heard of a regualr x-ray to check for a blockage.

We've still got our fingers & paws crossed for you. {{{hugs}}}

Oh no! Poor guy :( He'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Hope he gets well soon!

I feel so sorry for poor Buddy .I did catch the news at noon and saw what Ohio was in for tonight. I would need a tranquilzer by now if I were in your shoes!!! Wow, he has lost 12 pounds since the 4th :eek: I've never owned a big dog like Buddy, but I have 2 German Shepard Grand dogs. (They ought to both lose 12 pounds!!! as they are overweight)

I was so hoping that you were able to bring Buddy home and begin a treatment regimen by now. Sorry that he has to stay at the Vets!!! It's just the wondering and worrying to work with !!!!!!! :confused: :rolleyes:

Please keep us posted . give your Sierra our hugs as well.

I know how you must be feeling right now too. , all of us are keeping our toes and our fingers crossed for Buddy to come home soon!!!

Oh wow.I didn't know this had been going on so long. Poor Buddy. :(
I will double up on prayers & good positive thoughts for that sweet boy.
I do know what you mean about the storms causing anxiety in Buddy. Both
of my pups are the same way.Please let us know how he's doing after the
treatments.

How's Buddy doing? Endless prayers for a speedy recovery and many well deserved treats.

Gawd, is it a GSD thing? Mz Logan is petrified of thunder and lightening storms. No sedation, she finds her own private "safe" place and I don't coddle her, but it's so sad, it breaks my heart. Otherwise, she's perfection.

Buddy,

Paws and everything crossed for you sweetheart.

So sorry to hear about Buddy. I hope he gets better soon. Delilah sends kisses cause she hates thunderstorms too. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. GET WELL BUDDY!!!!
(((((HUGS ALL AROUND)))))

We were VERY lucky up in the very north eastern corner of the state, we didn't get the storms they were expecting us to get!
Whew!!
Well I just got off the phone with the vet, they had him on an IV all night, they decided not to offer him food last night, they did give him food this morning and he ate it like crazy! (One good thing is that through this whole thing he's never lost his appitite.)
So the Dr. will call me back later this morning/early after noon to let me know if he kept it in/down. If he did then I get to pick him up today after work but if not, then they do the barium test.
Paws crossed that the food stays down!!

So glad to see that you didn't get those nasty storms!!!

Keeping our fingers crossed up here for your Dear Dog, Buddy!!!

Thank-You so much for that up-date. Hoping his food stays put where it belongs!!!!

Thank-You for the up-date. ;)

The Dr just called me and he has not vomited or had the runs since his feeding this morning at 7:30am so I can pick him up today.

I don’t fell all the good about it because the last time he threw up it took 12 hours before he threw up. So… I’m still not 100% convinced that he doesn’t have a blockage. It’s just going to be a waiting game at home now. Just waiting for him to poop and hoping and praying that something besides water some out. I won’t be able to pick him up until after work, so at least he’ll be there for another 5 ½ hours, if he hasn’t vomited or had the runs by the time I get there tonight… then I’ll feel a little better. But I won’t be totally convinced until I see him poop for the first time.
He will have had an IV in for almost 30 hours. So he'll be totally re-hydrated! :D
I know sure Sierra will be Overly excited to see him!!

Thank you all for your continued prayers!!

Buddy will be in my thoughts. Get well soon big boy {{Hugs}}.

I'm sorry I haven't replied yet so far... but I'm so glad the Buddy hasn't gotten any worse. Please get better soon, sweetie! He will be in my thoughts.

Angie, I have been self-absorbed with pet issues of my own and I am only now seeing this message about Buddy. Please forgive me. :(

I do hope that all will go well today and when you get him home, he will be on his way to a full recovery.

Logan

I hope he is ok, and that he is on his way to recovery.

I'll keep you and him, and his sister, Sierra in my thoughts.
