RileysLegacy Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Hi everyone, I would appreciate it if you could send some good thoughts Riley's way. He is sick. Last night he would not settle at all, and we were up basically all night b/c he was just pacing around the house. He has thrown up quite a few times, and has been having very bloody diarrhea. I took him to the vet and they are doing bloodwork which should be back tomorrow. He has lost about 6 lbs. Normally this would not concern me too too much, but he has really not been himself the last few months. I was attributing it to him just getting older, but I am not so sure. He has had quite a few episodes of having an upset stomach, which is unlike him. He just doesn't look right today. I swear last night his face was a bit swollen, but today his eyes kinda look sunken it. I suppose he could just be dehydrated. He has been drinking a lot of water though. For now he is on some meds that will hopefully make him feel better and I am cooking him some chicken and rice to have for dinner. Thanks in advance for thinking of my boy Edited October 26, 2008 by RileysMomma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlgrey Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Did he have swollen lymph nodes, a fever, lethargic, no appetite and weight loss that you can't explain? My Sierra has very similar symptoms and has be diagnosed with histoplasmosis. Gosh, I sure hope your baby is okay whatever it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RileysLegacy Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Thanks so much everyone. He did not have a fever at the vet today, and he did not mention any swollen lymph nodes. I just tried feeding him the chicken and rice, and he had absolutely no interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
