Forums Serious Talk My dog is sick

Donator — She/her Posted 3 years ago ( 2021/03/14 17:05:44 )


Hi guys. I wasn’t around yesterday because of my dog. (Idk how much I’ll be around today.)
I was getting ready to go for a bike ride when I found my dog eating rocks! I don’t know how many he ate while unsupervised but my husband did get the rock we saw him try to eat out of his mouth. I called a bunch of vets and they were either closed or couldn’t see him today so I had to go to an emergency vet and get an Lyft for it because it wasn’t anywhere near public transportation.

After a few hours of waiting the x-rays prove that he did in fact eat rocks they said to take him home and feed him bread. If he vomits then bring him back because that’s a bad sign. He was good all night but this morning he threw up bile. So today we are renting a car and taking him he seems fine otherwise.

My dog is almost 13 years old, a Chihuahua, and he has seizures and his heart murmur grew to severe in the last year. So it’s not safe to put him under for surgery. Idk what the vet is going to say today. :(

@Totalanimefan: oh god :o I was literally just about to message you asking if you were OK! That's terrible, your poor boy :( I really hope he's OK, you must be out of your mind with worry! I hope everything turns out OK, but you are giving him his best chance by taking him to the vet! Fingers crossed :)

@sunny: thanks. Sorry to worry you. I did see your good news in my thread. He’s been able to be happy lately but he’s been sleeping a lot more and with his heart he could go at any time. If he starts coughing so breathing weird it’s time. Idk yet about today. Besides that he was sick once he’s been like himself. He’s old so it’s not like he has a ton of energy.
@Priestess of Pie: thank you. You can read above for a little more info. We are getting the rental car now to take him to the vet. It will probably be a few hours before there is an update. They said it’s a bit of a wait but they said they wouldn’t charge us the emergency fee. Just a normal vet fee for whatever we decide to do for him. Obviously x-rays but he might need more.

@Totalanimefan: at least he only threw up once. Maybe he will just have an upset tummy for a bit. Were they big rocks?

Oh my gosh, that is so horrible! I am thinking of doggo, you, and your family. How horrible. I so hope he recovers, reading this hurt my heart. I can't imagine how worried you are and how difficult this is for you. I'm sending you lots of love and well-wishes.

@sunny: yeah he is lol
@koneko: thank you <3
@Ava: thanks. I’m sure he is cause he hates the vet. He did like the car ride here though.
@Reanna: thank you. I was crying about it this morning but I feel stronger now.

He’s in with the vet but they are busy. He hasn’t gotten his X-rays yet.

Update. Some rocks passed. One rock hasn’t but it wasn’t been that long since he ate the rock and he did eat bread today so they think he will be ok. But he need to email them an update tomorrow morning.

@Priestess of Pie: Thank you. I think they worked because he seems to be feeling better. :)
@Nephila: Thank you. I think you guys all helped him get better. He seems to be ok! It was a bit difficult with COVID, but it was what we had to do. I don't think I got it, it was just hard to wait outside the vets office for 2-3 hours outside while the sun was setting. And then the next day we rented a car instead, but it was a 4 hour wait that day. It was like our whole weekend was there.

@Priestess of Pie: I hope so too. I found that he was sicker than we thought yesterday but we got the X-rays after, so he should be ok.
@Nephila: Thanks. Me too.
