Cami's Awfully Sick! :(

Well, my mom picked me up from school yesterday, with cami as usual.. It smelled sooo funny in the car.. She actually smelled like a filthy dog.. And thats not ever like cami.. She usually smells like... my house.. lol.. But anyway, So my mom told me she was throwing up and had bad diarrhea.. When i got home she threw up alot, and i was up till about 11:30 helping my mom clean up throw up, and diarrhea, ect.. So, my mom took her to the emergency, because we didnt know what was wrong, and she is still there this morning.. I did feed her raw egg, which supposedly is good for their coat, but the vet said it isn't good at all for them, that it has Sallmenella (sp).. I was crying all yesterday because when she would throw up, you know how it looks like someones just taking a pump and pumping it out? Thats how she looked, she just looked so helpless! :( Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know..

*I guess i should have posted this in dog general.. :o *

Poor Cami! I hope she gets better soon.

Prayers are on the way for sweet Cami. I know it is hard to be apart from her but she is getting the care she needs right now.

I'm sure the egg or something else unsettled her stomach and she will be just fine. She is probably getting hydrated with fluids right now and will probably be able to come home by this evening.

You try to get some rest until your baby is back home.

Aw poor Cami:( {{hugs}}

Hope cami is doing better now prayers to you and her both. Cooked egg is the best for them , I did the same thing once to my old cocker when I was about 14 years old.

Sorry about Cami feeling sick.:(

I hope Cami get well really soon, and gets back into your arms fast. How did they say she was doing?

Has she stopped throwing up yet? I was just wondering, did they run any test on her? I just can't believe an egg would do that! Never heard of that, but you learn something new everyday.

I will be thinking of both you and Cami, please keep us posted.

Willie

Poor Cami! :( {{HUGS}}
Don't worry, I'm sure she'll be fine. Keep us updated.

I hope Cami is feeling better soon.

I have heard that they could eat raw eggs too, but I cook them first, because I am paranoid of salmonella.

I hope Cami feels better real soon.

Aww I'm so sorry about Cami. Get better soon Camz. :( Hopefully she will be just fine. I'll be keeping her in my thoughts.

**update**
Well, heres the not so good update, she is sick.. Really, really, really sick.. :( Im really worried because they said at first they said it was parasites. That would have been best because it's easily cured, but it's not parasites, they think it's gastroid.. something.. I really dont know the name of it.. Anyway, she has to stay for about 2 or 3 more days, because she is dehydrated, so they have to put two days worth of iv's in her, the bill is going to be over 1000 dollars, my mom is freaking, because she said she was just about to pay off almost everything and here comes 1000 dollars.. So my mom said she doesnt know how she is going to pay for it.. The vets said they weren't sure if she was going to make it or not.. :( My mom asked if maybe she could give 500 this week 500 the next, but they said no, so now we have to find someway to make up 1000 dollars.. But we will figure it out, i dont know what will happen if we dont, but i just hope she will be okay.. So everyone please pray for her, and hope she will be okay, because i dont know if she will and pettalk prayers are always the best..

Amber

OH NO!! Poor Cami.

Prayers are on the way for Cami and you and your family.

Amber, she'll be in my thoughts and prayers. She'll be okay. {{HUGS}}

Poor Cami! She is in my thoughts and prayers.
{Big Hugs}

OMG poor Cami :( I hope she has a speedy recovery. I'll say a little prayer for her.

O no! Not Cami!! The sweet darling! I hope she gets better soon, keep us updated!!!


Ashley

Oh no!!
I don't like the update:(

We'll rev up our pravers here--many warm thoughts and prayers coming to you and Cami from PA.

I hope your mom can do something about the payment too-ouch!
Maybe they will work something out with her.

Aww, poor Cami:( I'll be praying for her! Hope she gets better soon.

I don't know if that is worse than Parvo, but Dana my Rottweiler got Parvo when she was about 4 months old. She had been given all her shots, so I thought she was safe. When she started throwing up and had diarhea, I could not figure out for the life of me what was wrong. So I started researching Parvo on the internet and it said that her breed was really susceptiable to Parvo. I kept thinking no that couldn't be what was wrong. I took her to the vet over here and he comfirmed my worst fears. She did indeed have Parvo. He wanted to keep her in the hospital for 2 or 3 days and charge me around 600 dollars, I just didn't have it. So I told him that he would just have to give me her medicine and let me treat her at home.

He gave her a shot before we left for the nausea and vomiting and told me not to give her another until the next morning. So I took her home with two extra shots for the vomiting,and some kind of stuff to mix and pour down her to keep her from getting dehydrated.

When I got her home I set her little hospital room up in my living room, and put me a mattress on the floor and stayed up with her for the next two nights. But that night she was still vomiting so I went ahead and gave her another shot. I got up just every few minutes and would put a syringe of the liquid down her throat. She was better by the next morning, even wanted to eat something, though I didn't give her anything but the liquid that day. But she got better. My point is Dana was very sick, and Cami is very sick, so don't you lose hope with Cami!! Cami has a vet caring for her so she is in the best of care, the very best of care.

I will keep her in my prayers, and I know everybody here are praying like crazy for you and your sweet Cami. Wouldn't hurt to pray for your mom too. I know this has to be hard on her too. Mother don't like to see their little girls hurting and worrying, I know that for a fact.

Willie

aww so sorry, but I highly doubt the egg had ANYTHING to with it, unless its bad when when mixed with kibble :confused: my dogs get at least 2 raw eggs every single day. anyway prayers and white light and cami gets better


a word of advice, many vets lie to get more money, this recently happend to happys breeder. the vet told her that her dog had cancer, so she had done thousands of dollers worth of tests, etc.. took him to another vet only to find out there was not 1 single trace of cancer, the dogs leg near his shoulder was broken. dont just take one vets word for it, spirit was nealy PTS because of the so called "cancer" this vet STILL insists that there is cancer, the lady who owns the dog is a professinal nurse by the way she is not stupid and know what everything in the system is, and what things mean. I would be very wary of the vet just in case, and get a second opinion.

I know how horrible it is to have your baby sick. I hope she gets better soon. I know exactly how you feel, believe me.

Im so sorry that poor Cami has to be sick! :(

Im sending LOTS of prayers your way!

P.S. GET WELL SOON CAMI!

Oh Amber I'm so sorry to hear about Cami! Please know that Cami, you and your family will be in prayers tonight. Hopefully the vet can come up with some good news soon. Most vets are really great at letting clients pay off their bills with installments, I'm surprised your's said no.

Tray does have a point about vets. Is it possible for a second opinion or is it too late??

Im not too sure, i think they want to keep her.. Im just too afraid to move her and something will happen, and i will regret taking her somewhere else..

Thanks for your kind words everyone, i really hope they work.. Im just so scared.. :(

Miracles do happen. I just went through this with my foster baby Nakita. The vets even said she had a poor chance of survival but she made it. I know it was the love she received that pulled her through the ordeal, so if you are able to visit Cami, I would go do that as often as you can. Their mental health is almost as important as their physical health.

Prayers are still coming.

Aw, Im sorry about Cami.I know what its like when it seems like they're just pumping throw up out, my cat did that.I think she'll be ok.I knew a guy who had salmonella and he ended up being fine.
Best wishes for Cami's recovery!

OH no! Not sweet Cami! :(:(:(

Prayers are on the way for both you and Cami. I hope she gets better soon!

Look at all those prayers, just stacking on top of each other. I think she is in good hands as far as prayer go. Don't you worry.

We are all pulling for Cami.

Now we need Cinder and Smoke on the case.

Willie

So sorry for you and little cami, It is hard, when your baby is sick. I got my fingers crossed that little Cami will be ok.

Do you know if he is still running test on Cami?

I went through the same thing, when Jojo was sick with Pancratitus. I thought she was dead. She was put on an I.V as soon as we got her To his office. Jojo was there for almost a week. She made it and is fine now. I still have to watch her diet.

He let us pay weekly for a month on her bill.

I know you are afraid for cami. I would give you a hug if I could. Please keep us updated.

Oh, Amber, I'm so sorry.:( Poor Cami, I'm praying for her, and will every day. Miricals happen, keep that in mind. Good thoughts and many, many prayers are being sent to you and your family.:(


You can always IM me if you want to talk, anything. I'm here for you.

Oh Sweet Cami,
I am So Sorry to hear this....
How is she doing now?????

Poor baby!!!!!
{{{{{{ BIG HUGS}}}}}}}}
And Lots of Prayers for Sweet Cami!!!!!!!!!


Those emergency vet places really know when they have you between a rock and a hard place.....most places would divide the payments between 2 weeks....you weren't talking 2 years!!!!:mad: :(

I wish you and your mom luck with this!!!!

Poor Cami :(. Prayers on the way.

Hoping for a speedy recovery!

AWW......poor lil' Cami.

All my prayers are on the way to Cami. I hope she gets well soon....b/c we need more pictures of that girl~!

Get well soon Cami girl!!

OMG, Poor Cami!!:(

--Big Hugs to your whole family--

Please keep us updated, Cami will be in my prayers, and so will the rest of your family.

Get Better Cami!

Cami will be in all our prayers. I moved this to Dog Health for you, by the way.

Asking all the dog angels to watch over her tonight.

Oh, Cami sweetie. :( I hope you get over your sickness! You don't sound to great...
She's in my thoughts, Amber. :(

how is Cami doing? Any updates?

get better soon Cami!

As Karen said "Asking all the dog angels to watch over her tonight." Your family and Cami will be in my thoughts and prayers tonight!

Here are more prayers for little Cami and best wishes for a quick and complete recovery.

I am also sending healing thoughts & prayers your way.

Any updates? I hope its not 'bloat' (or gastric torsion). This is a potentially fatal disease in which the stomach fills with gas and can flip over, strangling the blood supply to the lungs, heart, and digestive system. I wish yous the best of luck!
