Chipper + Cat Food = Ick! Ick! Ick!

[dukedogsmom]

My heart is breaking with you. I hope Chipper can be cured of whatever is making him so sick. Give him some hugs from me.

[Logan]

This is certainly not the report that we were all hoping for, Kimmy.

Obviously, Chipper is a very sick boy. Our prayers for him will continue.

oh no! I am so sorry, Kimmy. I will keep you, your family, and Chipper in my thoughts and prayers. ((((HUGS)))) give him some hugs from me, too please.

[Uabassoon]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he will get through this quickly. I understand what you are going through, we went through something similar when we adopted Dewey and he was sick.

[Fett]

What sucks the most is that he was fine for the first 4 days we had him, then the 5th day BAM! This happens. Now he's been sick for the next 4 days after Thanksgiving day.

[Daisy and Delilah]

We're praying as hard as we can down here in Florida that Chipper will snap out of it. My heart is breaking for both of you too. Please get well Chipper!! We love you!!

[BOBS DAD]

WOW... I was hoping for better updates than I just read. I'll keep hoping for some positive turnabout and will check back tomorrow. Good luck and hang in there.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I am so sorry you guys.

I hope Chipper get's to feeling better soon and it isn't anything he can't recover from rather quickly!

[wolf_Q]

I'm very sorry to hear the update. I hope he'll get feeling better, he looks like such a sweet boy!

[cloverfdx]

{{Hugs}} For you all.. and lots of positive thoughts and vibes on the way. My heart is breaking for you . I hope the vets are able to figure out what is happening quickly.

Thank you all for the good thoughts.

He would not touch anything I tried to give him. He'll now only drink water if I coax him, not very willingly. But he drank a full bowl which was encouraging.

When Andy got home from work we discussed whether we should just take him straight to MSU or wait until the morning for the vet referral. Since the vets office has the results of the blood work and other notes, we figured we'd keep him alive during the night with fluids, and unless he took a huge nasty turn, take him to his 9 a.m. appointment for a Sub Q injection (and possibly get a few X rays) and take all of that over to MSU.

So far so good. He wasn't very happy with me when I turned on the lights this morning. His mouth is a little dry but his skin is not tenting.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm dealing with a blockage. He did have a greenie on the 20th and a bone on the 21st. Of course only an X-ray would know for sure.

[Vela]

How horrible! I'm so sorry he is so sick. I would also get him x-rays immediately to check for a blockage. I don't usually say anything because most feel greenies are fine, and most of the time they seem to be, but if he DID gulp any larger pieces it could have caused a blockage or partial blockage and it could indeed be causing his problems. Of course I hope he just gets better, how horribly sad since he just came to join your family, he seems like such a sweetie. I know how you feel with regards to a new dog having so many health issues, I almost lost Ginger the first month I had her too and had 800 in vet bills within the first two weeks to try to save her, and another 400 the next month in vet bills. I will pray you have the same outcome we did and he turns out to be okay. Prayers for you all!

[moosmom]

Kimmy and Andy,

You and Chipper are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope the vet finds out what the problem is and can cure Chipper.

Please call me when you find out anything. I'm off from work today and await any news.

((((HUGS))))
