Guest Spencers_Greyt Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Thank you all for keeping Spencer in your thoughts and prayers. Update #1 I picked up Spencer at e-vet at 8am and that vet was recommending he go to an internal specialist. He still has bloody diarreah. I took him right over to my vet and they want to run some more tests and get him on iv fluids because he's still dehydrated. Poor baby was so happy to see me and then looked at me like I was a traitor when I left him at the vet. So it's a waiting game right now. They will call me with their recommendation. If it's the specialist then it's one in another town about an hour away one way but they are apparently the best specialists in the area. Spencer was tested for giardia (an intestinal parasite), parvo and lymphoma and those were negative. Thank God for small miracles! I hate this! I'm very sad and unhappy, tired and stressed. I'm definitely not a happy camper! I'll post again when I hear what the treatment recommendation will be - it will be late afternoon I suspect.

Xan Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 :bighug They probably told you this, but giardia can test negative, and still be present. It's hard to "catch", since it's only visible when it's shedding. Most adult dogs aren't much affected by it, unless they're otherwise unhealthy, though, so even if it's there, it may not be his only problem. You're in our thoughts!!

ozgirl2 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Cody had a very sensitive stomach & occasionally vomited & had bloody diarrhea... Once it was because I fed her a greenie (very high in FAT apparently) and that set her off, once was when we found out she was allergic to RICE!! Hope they find what's making him sick - hang in there!!

Guest Spencers_Greyt Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Again thank you all so much for your prayers and thoughts! It really means a lot to me and Spencer! Update #2 11:50am - Vet just called - no vomiting or diarreah since Spencer was brought in at 8am this morning. He's thinking it's colitis - inflamation of the colon but wants to run another blood test to check for pancreatitus. He will call back later with results and recommendations. I'm thinking that I won't have to take Spencer to specialist as he's stablizing and I'm hoping I can take him home tonight. I think he's going to need to go on a special diet since this has happened before with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 If it is "only" colitis (I know, when your baby is sick, nothing is "only") you will need to figure out what sets him off and avoid that. Once you figure that out, it is quite managable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The diet that they will give you...If it is pancreatitis....WILL help! She was diagnosed by her lab work...x-rays...and abdominal ultrasound. Sending more prayers and gentle hugs.
