rschultz Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Just seeing this.... Prayers for Ollie. As far as him being at the vet overnight.....is he going to be alone? i.e. I'm assuming they have no one on staff overnight. If that's the case, can you bring him home and do fluids sub-cutaneous (spelling is wrong, I'm sure)....it's pretty simple to do - and very safe - if you haven't done it before - and any vet can show you how. That way he could continue to get fluids and still be at home. The fluids are not as direct as IV, but it still works. i agree. my vet taught me how to do the fluids at home..it is easy..so sorry your own vet wasn't in..that figures..continued prayers for Ollie.

RobinM Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Ollie is home. He drank water as soon as he walked in. I gave him 4.5 oz of ground duck and ground beef which he ate, thank GOD. Tomorrow, I continue the antibiotics and as long as he is eating he can remain home. He normally gets 14 oz at each meal. he has not eaten since 5 last night. So 4.5 oz was skarfed down. As long as there is no choking or throwing it back up, I can give him another 3 oz around 12 AM. Then back to normal amounts tomorrow but not bones for a few days. I saw the x-rays. The lung is definately in question. We are hoping we just happened to catch something really really early and are treating it with the antibiotics. We will need to repeat the x-rays in a few days. Thank you all for your continue prayers and support.

KF_in_Georgia Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 You've probably already thought of it, but I'd keep Beau away from Ollie until you have a better idea what's going on. I thought of you guys often today while I was at work. I just got home and came straight to the computer to check on Ollie. (My dogs think I was supposed to feed them first. Sorry, gang.) I'll be thinking of you all... Quote Kathy and Q (CRT Qadeer from Fuzzy's Cannon and CRT Bonnie) and Jane (WW's Aunt Jane from Trent Lee and Aunt M); photos to come.

KF_in_Georgia Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I'm glad he's feeling better.

Guest Hollys2hounds Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Just checking in on you and your big boy! Hope you all had a nice day, and that Ollie is feeling better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinM Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 Just checking in on you and your big boy! Hope you all had a nice day, and that Ollie is feeling better! It was really nice. The weather, event, people. Perfect day. We set up a large, very large x-pen. We bring 3 and attach them and we fit Nancy's pack and ours.Her dogs are like extended pack to ours. We always have room for a few more and we were under some huge trees and they had a lot of shade. So they snoozed and enjoyed the outside. Ollie is almost back to normal. I did ask my vet if it were OK for him to go today and she felt it would be fine since all he was doing was chilling anyway. He has been eating however, I am not permitted to give him bones or his beloved duck breast treats yet. We are sticking with soft foods. So, he has the ground duck which has the bones crushed in it, some tripe and chopped meat. It takes him longer to eat the soft food because he has to eat it rather than just swallow whole. I will be asking some more experienced raw eaters how to get him to stop just sucking down the bones. We want to wait till the imflammed and probably somewhat painful ephogus is better before we add in the bones again. He is on high doses of clavomox (500mg bid) until Monday. Then, we will proabably lower the dose. He will be rexrayed next week and God willing, the spot on the lungs which they thought might be pnumonia (but not a true pnumonia) is gone and the lung is clear.
