Emmi Update
I had to take our little girl to an emergency clinic for the weekend. She stopped vomiting on Friday but didn't want to eat anything. So the doc wanted to see her, took some blood and did an X-Ray and decided she needed to be on an IV Catheter for the weekend. He said I could leave her there where no one would watch her or I can take her to a 24- hour vet clinic where they would monitor her progress. I thought that was the best option and so did he.
I called Saturday for an update and she was doing very well. By Sunday morning she had food and was extremely hungry. She held that down so we brought her home. She did so well yesterday I was the happiest girl alive. She's on a special canned food diet and was getting just a 1/4 can 3 times yesterday. Today she was suppose to start on 1/2 a can 4 times but she decided to vomit up her medicine right after I gave it to her.
I consider that a freeby. Yes I'm worried but she just got home from a stressful vet visit and I just stuck my finger down her throat to give her a pill.
Greg stayed home with her and said she's just laying around and hasn't gotten sick again. I decided to skip the breakfast and have him give her some food later in the morning or early afternoon.
We'll just have to see how she does. I'm hoping and praying the diagnosis is right.
Here's the deal. She was just at the vet 2 weeks ago for surgery. Whenever she goes to the vet, she gets overly excited and starts gulping air. The vet explained this to me when she was a puppy because she did the same thing then. So, when he took an X-ray Friday he saw that her little intestines were filled with gas (air..same thing). I honestly think this is what happened. So she may still be filled up a bit which could be why she vomited this morning.
Well....Greg and Mom are right, I need to calm down because there's nothing I can do but wait until she rests. The vet has her on bed rest for the next 2 weeks so she doesn't excite herself too much. I'm hoping by the end of the week she'll be back on reg. food and doing good.
Can you tell I love her sooo much. She's my baby. I just want her to be ok.
