RobinM Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I started a thread earlier today that Elsie did not eat breakfast nor anything throughout the day except a few crunchy chicken tenders and Beau's z/d cookies. She refused dinner as well. I offered her several different things. Tonight was a rare event - we went out at night to my sister's BD party. We left the house @ 5:15 and returned at 9:30. I think there might have been a T- storm while we were out and I know Chloe FREAKS from them. I don't know hoe Elsie does. Well, I came home to poop everywhere on the shag carpet. Everywhere with foot prints where there wasn't poop. I have to assume it was Elsie who pooped. She still refused food, but took a few bites of some grilled chicken breast but that's it. Looks like we are going to the vet tomorrow. Sigh. Beau needs to be seen because of the stye in his eye that is getting bigger. He had a pustule on his tummy 10 days ago. I popped it and pus came out. Now it looks like there is another brewing on his belly. I think he needs an antibiotic. I hope both Elsie and Beau have nothing serious going on. We had a few really good weeks and I really liked it like that.

Guest momto5greys Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I have a girl with IBD so I can understand. She has what I call pudding poop. When she has an accident though, she does it in the ktichen and the others are smart enough not to track through it for which I am thankful. I used to have Berber carpet in there and replaced with tile last year because pudding poop and Berber carpet do not mix! When she's going to have a problem I usually start hearing gut noises and if I can get a pepcid down her, that settles her tummy. Hopefully your girl is just having an off day and you are not having the start of IBD. I'll keep my fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to figure out how that came about? I DO have a dog with severe IBD diagnosed after thousands of dollars of testing, different foods, etc and a weight loss down to 52.4 pounds (male dog) finally open abdominal surgery to get a definite diagnosis.

Chicocat Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Well lets hope that Elsie just had an off day. Mine usually don't want to eat if they don't feel good. I never worry about letting them go a day but if it goes two days, it's off to the vet. Wonder if Beau has a staph infection because of his lowered immune system. I've never heard of that associated with the eyes though. But the postules on his stomach sound like it could be staph. Quote Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinM Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Vet doesn't want to see us!! Can you imagine!? What would a Memorial Day be without the extra charge of a emergency visit! For Elsie- she had been on an antibiotic so she said that could be what was causing her to stop eating. We've stopped the antibiotic as of yesterday (when she wouldn't eat) so she said to give it another day. Today she ate a very little bit of wet food for breakfast (about 1/2 can) of "blue" beef. Beau- give him the compresses for his eye and for his tummy pustules, hydrogen peroxide. So... we shall see...

Guest Energy11 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Gez Louise! Good thing that vet wasn't in the emergency field for years! Emergencies don't take holidays :-( Keep us posted. Good that Elsie is eating something, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy14 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hope Elsie feels better. Both of my girls had the big D this morning, but Skorch is normal. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I cooked them rice and chopped beef this morning. June ate very little, if anything. There is always something to worry about as you know so well.

Good that Elsie is eating something, too. I think quite the opposite. Because we are there so often and spend so much money, she didn't want me to needlessly come in and especially on a holiday where they are open for emergencies only- so you get charged as an emergency patient. I was headed in and when she got on the phone and heard what was going on- she felt we should wait. I was happy not to have to bring them in. She told me what to do and we are doing it. If things don't improve by tomorrow, we will go. I have my vet's email and cell phone. She makes herself available to me all the time. I appreicate not being taken advantage of. Just didn't want you to get the wrong idea about this!
