HopeForHounds Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) My friend Vicky, GT member bluesky's Cali was taken to the vet at 4:00 am with HGE. Cali just finished chemo on Thursday for osteo. Cali had her right front leg amputated on June 9th, then contracted an infection in her left back leg. Antibiotic treatment delayed the start of the chemo until August 12th. She's done very well with her chemo with one slight reaction at the beginning. Yesterday Cali threw up her dinner early in the morning. She refused breakfast and was lethargic, none of these are unusual when you've had chemo. She had diarhea later in the day, again not unusual. Early this morning, it was bloody and she was panting and drooling so off to the evet. Cali has had HGE before, which makes her more likely to get it again. With her lowered white counts due to the chemo her resistance is low. She needs our prayers. Vicky will update us when she talks to the vet. Come Cali Girl, you can beat this!

Bluesky Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Just got off the phone with the vet and Cali is resting comfortably. She had a little bit of diarrhea and vomited a little of what they are calling "coffee grinds". They've got her on some heavy duty antibiotics because of her low WBC and lots of anti nausea meds. If she vomits again, they're going to start her on some type of new med that they've only been able to use since this spring. I'm going to visit her at 6:30 and bring her some her food (I feed raw). The plan is for her to get eating and keeping things down so she can recuperate at home where she's most comfortable. They have been in contact with our regular vet - they're open Sundays for a couple of hours - and Dr. Shibata is concurring with the e-vet's treatment plan. Again, thanks for all your prayers and good thoughts. I'm just beside myself with worry. Quote Vicky and my best boys Vern (Rockin Big Mike) and Wil (Deco Abilene Wil).
