UT OH!!!!!! EVERYONE READ!!!

Hi,
I just read this...Aly, I hope Reece feels better soon! Poor baby!

Reece has held down the boiled hamburger and rice for about 2 hours. He also drank a little water. The first thing I had worried about last night was a blockage, then it was dehydration (I didn't know so much could come out of a little 7 lb guy), then I thought what he ate was so bad it was going to kill him. Luckily I think the worst is over. It was sad watching him throwing up and going to the bathroom at the same time. Dry heaving and straining too. I felt helpless. My sister came over and offered to bring me KFC for lunch. I screamed and said if I never see another chicken bone in my life it will be too soon. My mom is getting out of work in an hour then will be on her way here http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

I'm glad Reece seems to be feeling better. What a scare he gave you! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/eek.gif

Alyson, I just got back from having some heart tests myself and read about little Reese and I was so upset, until I read your post that he seems to be doing better. I feel so bad that he went through all that misery, but thank goodness he seems to be doing much better. Please give the little sweetheart a hug and kisses from Daisy, Perry and me. He is so little and so cute.
I'm so glad your Mom is coming so that you can get some well deserved rest. Please keep us posted on his progress.

YAHOOO!!!!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif
Sounds like little Reece is on the road to comfy cozy well. Thats is absolutely wonderful! and if he gets tired of beef and rice bug recommends cottage cheese and rice... she also thinks Pepcid AC's are good for those sensitive bellies (and since its a pill that when broken up dissolves partially in water or milk its easy to give them!)
I am so glad he's on the mend! I hope both of you have a great friday night - cup of tea for you, saucer of broth for him, movie and a snuggle on the sofa!

bugmom, that's funny you mentioned that, when Kona had stomach problems our vet suggested we feed her a mixture of "cottage cheese, rice and hard boiled eggs" It did wonders for her.

Poor you, and poor Reece, I am glad he is getting better, and at least this gives you an excuse to spoil him a little extra for a few days! That must have been soooo scary!

Oh Aly!!

So sorry to jump in so late on this topic, but I can totally sympathize with how scared you must have been!! My cat, Marius, had a similar reaction (vomiting and diarrhea) to a shot, and it was so terrifying! Especially because of they're size...being so small, I was afraid Marius would become dehydrated...and I had to wonder where all this stuff was coming from... certainly... there can't be any more in that tiny body, but it just kept coming...then turned to dry heeves which turned to blood later! It was so scary and I felt so helpless. All I could do was comfort him as he had his bouts. Sounds exactly like the same kind of situation you had. So glad you caught it quickly and that Reece seems to be doing better! That's great news. I hope everything is going ok, and let us know how he's doing!!
*hugs*

Hi everyone!!! We have a quiet tummy and no more explosions since this morning! I'm sooo happy and enhausted at the same time. I have called the vet about 6 more times today with progress reports and they told me I don't have to come back in. I really think they are sick of me by now, hehe. One of the last times I called, I had only gotten the word 'hi' out and the girl said "Is this Alyson?". Oh well, I was too worried and I kept thinking there was more I should do. Thank you everyone for caring about my little boy. I was getting awful images last night that each of my animals were going to be slowly taken away from me. I had to take Shiloh to the emergency place with us during the 3am trip because I kept getting visions of her stuck in a fire. Then I forgot the directions because my mind was overflowing with too much and I thought I was lost and freaked out. On the way home, I looked to my right and saw the vet clinic I had just been at! I accidently drove in a circle. The highways there are a maze. I don't think I'm the best person to be caught in an emergency with. Instead of leaving a trail of bread crumbs, Reece left a trail of diarrhea crumbs. Heh, just kidding but it seems like he did. There are spots all over the sidewalk and everywhere outside and also all over the vet office and outside the vet's. They were nice and cleaned it up for me. I guess they knew I had enough at home I was cleaning up. He's a bit stinky and grundgy but I'm going to wait until tomorrow or the next day to give him a bath. He's resting comfortably right now, no more tossing and turning and whining. Thanks everyone http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

Poor little Reece!!! I am so sorry he had to go through that! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/frown.gif But REALLY glad he is a little better. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif A similar thing happened to Poco when we went on a trip to the beach, the vets think she ingested some shampoo. We would go out on the beach for a few hours, thinking that she would probably be OK for 2 hours but when we got back there were about 10 spots of ....HCl and bodily juices from the south end of a northbound Poco AND the south end of a southbound Poco. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/eek.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/frown.gif
That went on for a looooong time, b/c we couldn't get to a good vet at the beach, and she wasn't eating anything just drinking. but a lot of ????? came out of her too so i know EXACTLY how traumitized and relieved you must feel. Do take care of your diabetes too!

aly,
So good to hear that Reece, is
feeling better.
Reece is so lucky to have a caring owner like you.
Thoughts and get well wishes.

Aly, this has been quite an ordeal. We have to trust the the vets know what they are doing and truly believe that the worst is over. I'm glad your Mom is coming to be with you. My wish is that Reece is fully recovered and you can enjoy a happy Mother's Day as a daughter and a Mom (to Reece and Shiloh).

Hi, Alyson ~

We sure hope that no news is Good News for lil Reece http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif. (Finally sphelled his name rite http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/redface.gif.)

Has he been able to maintain control over the in and outs?

Thinking of you both on Mother's Day Eve. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/wink.gif

Just checking both posts once more tonight to see if there is any news on what's going in and what's coming out of Reece.
