URGENT: I Need Help My Girl Is Sick

My girl just started deficating and vomiting uncontrolably all day today. I have an appointment with the Vet tomorow at 10PM. But I could use any help I can get until then.

 

give us more than that,,How old is she? what is in her throw up? Is it diarreha?
Did she get into something that you know of? can you take her temp? Are her gums pink not pale? Is she still eating and drinking? is she moving around or just laying around?

 

hey for your little girls runs you can actually use imodium ad and it works really well it did for my baby when she had a really upset stomach and give her plenty of water and white rice also calms the stomach keeps it from getting further upset that may help as well

 

I meant 10AM, i'm just so worried.

 

She's 8mths old and she threw up her dry food. She's gotten to the point where she has noting to pass out except some bloody deposit.

 

the rice should help with her irritated stomach has she been around any other animal or into anything that u know of ?

 

Don';t feed your dog yet....

Is your dog fully vacinated? Has she been exposed to a new enviorment? has she been exposed to any other dogs? Has she consumed anything other than her dog food? How's her appitite....is she hungry will she eat if offerd? h2o ...is she drinking normal amounts? have you checked the color of her urine?....gums, temp, is she still hydrated? is she suffering from lethargy?

You can give the Imodium, but do you know her wieght? do you know the proper dose to give?

The only advice I can offer you is to crate your dog and waite for your appoinment in the morning, or you can take your dog into a emergency clinic. No one should try to treat or diagnose sight unseen.

Regards.

 

did i read right? vomitting, blood in poo? parvo?

 

thats wut i was thinkig......PARVO,hopefully its not parvo.

 

you read right....

That cat is killing me....LOL

Regards.

 

oooh sounds like a case of parvo,,,she needs a vet asap, with blood in the stool and throwing up and what not ,,,definately needs a parvo test

 

she had a yearly exam two fridays ago. she was been treated for red mange and acording to the vet the drug she was on(Ivermectin) would have handled heartworms etc. so this is suprising to me. she about 45-50lbs rite now and i had decied not to feed her before we saw the vet tomorow morning.

 

Either way, didn't mean to worry you. That doesn't always mean parvo. If it means anything to you a friend of mine has a blue pitbull that got parvo at 6 weeks and it survived. Some parvo strands are weaker than others. So always hope for the best.

 

a parvo test wasn't given most likely, though,,, if not treated parvo is a death warrent for her,,,and she might have came in contact with the virus at the vet 2 fridays ago, if they had one that had it there,,

 

i'm gonna check the invoice but i'm afraid u may be right, they may not have tested for parvo.

 

They are not going test for parvo unless she is exposed and you tell them at the time of your/her last appoinment. 2 weeks can fall in line to the incubation period for this virus....Is she fully vacinated?

Regards.

 

just called home and had the invoice read and surely they didnt check her for Parvo.

 

that was the point of the last visit to have her fully vacinated, this is blowing me man.

 

If she's vomitting "uncontrollably", the LAST thing she needs in her belly is more food! Do not give her food. Feed her ice chips, and IF she holds them down, offer her small sips of water, to avoid dehydration.

TRY to collect a sample of her stool so it can be checked=within 12 hours of her appointment is preferred. Can you take her temp? If so, write down the results, along with the time it was taken. ANY info can only aid your vet in his/her diagnosis. I won't say whether I think it's this or that. That wouldn't be fair to you. If she seems to get worse throughout the night, get her to a 24 hour care facility. If your present vet does not have one, they should be able to recommend one to you. They are more costly, but you can't put a price on a life, when time is of the essence. Good luck. Keep us posted.

 

Good luck with your dog. My first guess would be Parvo. The incubation period is about a week before the first symptoms begin to appear. If you can keep the dog alive for four days, odds are good that it'll pull through. Don't take any chances though, the sooner you get to the vet, the better. It's going to cost you a lot of money, so personally see to it that the vet personnel are doing their jobs. Too often they'll hook up an IV and stick the pup in some back room and sort of just leave it there. Keep in mind, the bill is going to be the same even if the dog doesn't recover...not much incentive to save it, so stay on their asses.
Make them provide you with a record of everything they do, and at what times they do it. You don't want your pup laying there for six hours with blood draining back up into an empty IV line.
