Penny is sick... (Updated 30th October - Page 3)

[cloverfdx]

*Sigh* Poor Penny is unwell again, it seems she has more bad days than good lately . Saturday morning we woke to find diarrhea and blood all over the bathroom floor, so she was rushed off to the vets and they could find nothing majorly wrong with her (Hello blood), gave her a shot of painkiller and 2 lots of anti biotics to take, said to fast her for 24 hours but encourage drinking.

Saturday night i was out and got home early Sunday morning, Mum got up when i got home and said Penny had started to vomit over night. The vomiting has stopped but there is still blood present. And her eye with the cataract has been very weepy and swollen this afternoon. So it is off to the vets again tomorrow first thing in the morning.

Please keep our little dog in your thoughts.

Oh poor Penny. She will be in my thoughts and prayers. I sure hope they can figure out what the problem is to help her get well again.

Thanks everyone . Penny seemed to perk up a bit this evening and had a couple of good big drinks, so i am happy about that. She even ate a little bit of boiled chicken and rice.

Thanks again for keeping her in your thoughts, i will keep you updated.

Please seek a second opinion for your dog? Anytime your dog is passing blood from either end it needs to be looked at and possibly X-Rays. I will pray for the recovery of your sweetie.

Updated for those that are interested....

Penny's test results still have not come back , we will know in the morning. She had a bit of a rollercoaster ride today, blood taken in the morning..then she came home for a while and went for a small drive.. when we got back home her hind legs collapsed and she was unable to walk.. so we rushed back to the vets and by the time we got there she was able to walk again (Little bugger).

The vet then took more blood and did a quick test which showed nothing, and then he came to the conclusion it was low blood sugar from not eating much in the past week (She has gone from 4.9KG last month to 4.4KGs now). So we are getting her to eat what ever we can, including roast chicken and baby food.. she did eat quite well this evening.

*Sigh* I just want to know what is wrong with her... it is heartbreaking not knowing what is going to happen . I just want her to be well again.


Found this photo taken just a couple of months back on holiday.. she had a blast staying by the beach for 10 or so days. The beach is her favourite place ever.

She has gone down hill again .. anti biotics and anti inflamatorys are not working and she has stopped eating again. Penny gets to stay at the vets Wednesday for x rays and ultrsounds.. i am dreading what they will find.. but know in my heart what it is .

Good thoughts would be appreciated thankyou & thankyou for all the good thoughts, prayers and hugs previously they mean so much to us.
