Please keep Buddy in your thoughts. *GOOD UPDATE*

[pitc9]

He has hookworm and had his first oral de-worming Saturday night. He already had diahrea, but it got worse... and worse. To the point where he couldn't even control himself and went in the house 3 times and his crate, he's thrown up several times too. We went back to the vet yesterday and the vet thinks it's a partial blockage from a clump of worms that died. We would have had an x-ray taken yesterday but the machine was broke. We go back at 11:30 for an x-ray to confirm.
Please keep him in your thoughts and hope for a speedy recovery!
My poor baby boy has not eaten since Sunday night! And the vet told me not to give him water either!! (They gave him fluids at the office yesterday)

Oh Poor , Poor, Buddy!!!!!

You're on the way to the Vet by now, so, I will check back this afternoon to see what the x-ray revealed.

I really feel so bad for Buddy, as I often look at the signiture of your German Shepards. Which one is Buddy? The darker one on the right?

He must feel so sick !!!! I sure hope he gets better by the end of this week!!!! Please let us know what his treatment will be, ok?

Hugs to Buddy from Dorothy39!!!!!!

[lizbud]

Awww, so sorry to hear that. Poor Buddy.May I ask if Buddy was on
Heartgard when he got sick? I only ask because it's what I've been useing
to control various worm infections. I hope his treatment goes well & Buddy's
back to feeling better again soon.

[shais_mom]

poor Buddy!
Hope we get a positive uppiedate soon.

[joycenalex]

awww buddy! i'm hoping that you feel better soon! did you get the xray results?

[pitc9]

Well... the Dr. didn't see a blockage on the x-rays.
He's lost 12 pounds between being scared during the 4th weekend of fireworks, and then we had a few days of thunderstorms... then the worms. So he's had diarrhea for at least 2 weeks!! He is one sick little boy. They kept him, they want him on an IV for at least a day, and they will offer him bland tonight so they can see how it comes out. The Dr. will call me tonight and let me know how he's been. Then to make matters worse it looks like thunderstorms are going to roll through tonight and tomorrow! I let them know that I have to tranquilize him during storms, and if they expect him to keep an IV in during a thunderstorm they better sedate him. Ohhhhh!!!!!!!! My poor baby boy.
Sierra is already lost, she doesn't know what to do with herself, and I have to give her a tranq tomorrow when I leave for work (separation anx)
So, Sierra and I have to sleep alone tonight (the husband is still working out of town) we won't have anyone to scare away the boogie man.
Please pray that he gets better fast so he can come home!
And will someone Please make the thunderstorms stay away!

Lizbud: No, he was not on hearguard, but will be starting it as soon as he's better. We went to the vet (the first time) last Monday to be tested for heartworm.

Dorothy: No, Buddy is the Black and Tan.
If Bud can't keep anything down/in by tomorrow, they are going to do a test with barium to take a closer look if there is a blockage that wasn't able to be picked up on the X-Ray. They also have an MRI machine too if need be.

Paws Crossed please!

Oh no, poor Buddy! You both will be in my thoughts and prayers. (((Hugs)))
