I'm worried about Holly.....

[Cincy'sMom]

Poor Holly (and Star!) it is so hard, when they can't tell you how they are feeling!!

When Cincy had pancreatitis, she was vomitting like every hour on the hour, at least once we got home from work. Just when you thought she may make it 2 hours, she got sick again. After less then a day she was so dehydrated to had to go on an IV. Holly doesn't sound like she is to that point...it sounds like she is able to at least keep fluid in her. The biggest thing when they are sick, is making sure they stay hydrated. Check her gums from time to time, make sure they aren't sticky.

Hoping Holly is all better today!

Poor Holly, and Star too. Prayers on the way for both of them to be better real soon.

Holly, I so hope that you are feeling much better today and back to your normal spunky self. Its no fun when our furkids our sick.

I'm thinking about you, Holly and sending you big hugs!

Holly seems to be doing much better today. I was up with her around 3:00 a.m., she seemed really uncomfortable, but no throwing up. I have given two small helpings of her food today, and so far she has kept everything down. She's acting more like her normal perky self, too. So I hope that's the end of it. I was just beside myself with worry yesterday, I am just emotionally drained.

Holly's Mom....I know the feeling. I have been hanging out with Katie all day and just making sure she is comfortable. I have been worrying something awful and it just makes me feel wore out. I'm so glad to hear that Holly is doing better. Lets hope she has a much more comfortable night and is in tip top shape tomorrow.

Hugs for you and Holly.....Robin

So happy to hear that Holly's doing so much better! Star's doing well too, though still on a bland diet, medication and leash walking only. Hopefully Holly will be even better tomorrow!

Hope it's nothing serious and Holly gets feeling better soon!

Sorry I am late in coming to this thread but I wanted to say I'm very glad Holly seems to be improving finally and that I will hope and pray she continues to feel better. I will also keep poor Star in my thoughts and prayers too! I know in October a year ago, Tommy got horribly sick after I caught him eating grass clippings that were damp and moldy from the composte area. He ended up spending 4 days at the vet's and on IV due to dehydration because he was vomiting and had diarrhea so horribly. The vet was just about to do exploratory surgery on him when he suddenly started taking some chicken broth and so he held off, and Tommy gradually got better.

That really opened my eyes to the dangers of something as simple as grass and grass clippings. Both of mine love to graze and I am constantly having to make them stop.

Get better soon Holly and Star!

I would love to see an update on both girls, Holly and Star, today!!! They have certainly been in our thoughts and prayers, as have their sweet "mothers". My only "grass" issue, ever, was with my cat, Mimi, who after weeks of coughing, gagging, and smelly breath, ended up having a blade of grass lodged in her pallete (sp?)...between her throat and her nose. It was removed, under anesthesia and she was fine after that. But my vet, as I told Sandra, said that grass, with it's razor type edges can be very irritating to a pet who tries to swallow it.

Hope both girls are 100% better today!!!!

I am happy to report that Holly is back to normal. I have to keep "reminding" her when she's outside not to eat the grass. It's such a relief to see her well again. Thanks so much for asking about her!!

Ya!!!! Great news.

Good girl Holly I'm so happy to hear you're doing so well! Now, no grazing!!! That's what I'm telling my Star Star's doing fine, Auntie Logan No coughing and gagging and eating up a storm, but is still on a soft diet until the end of the week, finishing up her meds and restricted to leash walking in the yard. Now THAT is the hard part, for her and me! She heads straight for the grass!

I am glad to hear both Holly and Star are feeling much better today. I hope they are both 100% well again soon.
