Toby's at the vets =(

[Holly's mom]

Oh, no, I do hope your Toby is better soon! And please don't blame yourself, we know you love your pups. It sounds like your vet knew exactly what to do, and hopefully Toby will soon be on the road to recovery.

[The_Duck]

I'll keep you both in my thoughts and prayers and have my class pray for him tomorrow morning. Hugs to you both and just keep thinking positive thoughts. He's gonna be ok, hang in there alright?

[captain]

Don't hurt yourself, PLEASE!!!

Let us know how he is ...............

[wolf_Q]

Oh no, I'm so sorry this has happened to Toby. Prayers on the way! Hang in there!

On the way to the vets he collapsed and he was hardly breathing as soon as we got him to the vets they put him straight on fluids, they said his blood pressure was very high and he was dehydrated. Once they stabalised him they did an emergency surgery to find out what's happening, part of his intestine is swollen and he's losing proteins through his stomach lining - they don't yet know what's caused it.


that sounds like what my RB dalmation did.She had K/D,and she got so sick,and after a few months of having it,she started throwing up her food,and collapsing as yours is doing.Is the collapse like he jsut falls on his side and his tongue is hanging and not breathing for a few seconds??and she lost alot of weight and got weak,i dont want to scare you
im so sorry that he's not doing well,and i hope he gets better.
{{hugs}}

Omg I'm so sorry.. I hope Toby makes a fast recovery!
Stay strong, Toby!!
**hugs**

Well, he's still alive.

He's breathing real heavy, and is still trying to throw up, even though his stomach is empty. The vet's given him something to stop it, but it's not helping much. Part of his intestine is infected, they may have to remove it, and they can't work out how he's losing proteins. If he doesn't significantly improve today, he's going to be put to sleep.

I hate this, I hate that my dog is sick and I can't do anything, I hate that I didn't notice it sooner. I can't lose him. He was fine on the weekend, he's not even old, he's only 8. This is my dog, the dog that plays tug for 2 hours straight, the dog who's so gentle with my pups and hasn't ever even growled even when they're climbing on his head. The dog that poses so beautifully for photoshoots, and most importantly, the dog that comes everywhere with me, and always knows how I'm feeling and comforts me when I'm sad.

That's my dog. Not the dog I saw today, a black mutt with a greying muzzle, stuck in a cage with tubes in him, having trouble breathing and too tired to lift his head. I didn't even recognise him. This sounds horrible, but in a way I wish it were Ollie or Squid that were sick, at least they're younger - they'd have an easier time fighting it off. I really think we're going to lose him, and I can't, not like this, not yet.

This is a picture I took of him Saturday.



He doesn't even look ill. Gosh, I hope he pulls through.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and prayers. I'm not gonna do anything stupid, I'm not suicidal, but that dog means everything to me. I wouldn't need to kill myself, I'd die without him anyway. Thanks so much for caring, I'll update when I can.
