Emerson is not well at all :( -- updated at bottom. :(

I know I haven't posted about this, so I will give a little bit of background. Back, starting the beginning of February, we noticed that Emerson was taking a while to pee. he would go for a long time, run around and sniff, and come back and pee for another long time. But we didn't think a whole heck of a lot about it, and we were preoccupied because the baby was here, and finally at the beginning of March, we REALLY started to notice that he had a problem. We took him to the vet on March 15, and they did all battery of tests, all of which came out negative. However, they started him on an antibiotic (I don't remember which one) and he did a 20 day course of them with no improvement. After that course, they ran a second course of antibiotics, and he has only 5 doses left. His pee situation has way improved, he is only peeing for about 20 seconds and he is done.

Starting Friday night, he was eating slower and slower, and Saturday morning refused to eat anything at all. He ended up puking a whole lot up (it looked like at least 3 meals worth plus a carrot that we gave to him at noontime on Friday. Sorry TMI?) and ever since then, he refuses to eat at all. I even tried offering him peanut butter, and he just turned his nose up at it. And he is acting all off too. He won't even wag his tail, kisses are a thing of the past, and all he does is lay around and act so sad.

I am waiting until 9:00 to call the vet. I have a first morning urine sample to take to them, and I am so hoping that they can see us first thing this morning.

My heart is breaking seenig him so sad, and not eating anything. I hope they figure out what is wrong with him, and get him to eat! :( :(

Oh no poor Emerson...lots of get well vibes on the way :(.

Anna, I'm so sorry that Emerson isn't well. I'm glad you're getting him right in to see the vet. Hopefully, they will be able to tell what is going on with him, quickly, and get him to feeling better. Emerson and you will be in my prayers.

/s/ the Prayer Pups

Could it be his kidneys? Sounds a lot like Micki when he was going through kidney failure last summer :/ Abnormal peeing, refusing to eat, lethargic..

I hope they find out what's wrong with him. Thoughts and prayers going out to you and Emerson!!!

Oh poor Emerson! :( I hope the vets can figure out what is ailing him.

Poor boy - hope you can be made to feel better soon

I am hoping find out what is wrong with Emerson and that they can fix it. It sort of sounds like the way Peaches was acting when we found out she had diabetes (only she didn't just throw up it came out both ends), then she wouldn't eat, etc. Paws crossed and prayers going out for Emerson.

Awww, poor Emerson. Hope the docs figure out what's wrong with a minimum of poking and prodding!

good luck to Emmers and thoughts and prayers on the way!

I just got back from the vets....without Emmers :( Ughhh leaving him there was the hardest thing I have had to do in a long time.

Anyway, they are gonna do some more tests (blood & urine) and possibly exrays. They are now thinking that it might be something more than just a reaction to the antibiotics.

I forgot to mention, too, that he puked again before we left for the vets. He hasn't had any dog food at all since Saturday night (and even then it was only a tiny bit), and he puked up undigested food this morning. :eek: So that is why they are thinking maybe of a blockage???? or????? I don't know.

I am so sad. I can't wait for them to call because it is so hard to sit here and not think the worst.

Thank you for all the thougths and prayers. They mean so much to me right now!! :)

Anna, I'm not even going to tell you not to worry because that would be fruitless. I know I would worry. The best thing is that he is in the capable hands of your vet and I'm sure they will leave no stone unturned. I hope that precious Emerson will be just fine. If it is a blockage, they will see it on x-ray, Anna, after they give him Barium. Please know my prayers continue, my friend.

Best Wishes for Emerson to get better soon!! Thoughts and prayers are going out for him and you too Mom :( {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Tears for sweet Emerson. I've always loved seeing him and he's long been a favorite of mine. I hope that he gets well. Please keep us updated and give him love from me. I hope you'll get tail wags and kisses again soon. I know how much it hurts to have them sick.

Oh Anna, I'm very sorry to hear the sweet Emerson isn't feeling well:(
I do hope that the vet has some answers for you asap.

Many prayers headed your way.
