Remolacha Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Well, I am a card carrying member of the dark side, so, with that in mind, I think it very unlikely that the chicken or the steak is the cause of her problems, even if the steak was a bit off. Dogs (all canines) are scavengers as well as hunters, one reason they have such a short (compared to humans) digestive track, as well as very strong stomach digestive "juices". Is it impossible for them to get sick from salmonella or e-coli? No, not impossible, but very rare, and I would think (never been personally involved) they would be very sick. It really sounds like she has a "bug". Her day at they vet plus time should fix her right up. Hoping it is nothing more serious and she is back to normal by tonight!

PrairieProf Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Well, I talked to the vet, and all the rest of her bloodwork was good. So hopefully the fluids and antibiotics will fix her up. He wants me to fast her until tomorrow morning though, waaah. But I see the rationale.

duncan41 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 She will probably be so glad to be home, but won't really have an appetite until tomorrow anyway. Hopefully she will just crash and sleep until tomorrow and wake up feeling more like her normal self!

Guest K9Cookies Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Glad Beth's bloodwork looks good. Hope she feels better soon. I agree with Linda...she'll probably come home and rest all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burpdog Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I feed raw on occassion (so I am not anti raw), and yes they can get very sick from samonella. Did you freeze the chicken first and take out as needed? Sending lots of prayers. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieProf Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Yes, I always do freeze the chicken, indeed all meat, before I feed it raw, and generally feed partially thawed. I'm leaving to pick her up shortly ... I'll report in tonight. More worried about D at this point than vomiting, I think. I assume we will have to go out a LOT tonight for her to pee after that IV, not fun as it's cold and she has to go out on leash. On top of the massive vet bills, it'll be $100 to clean the carpet she barfed all over (I have just one room with carpet but that's where she chose! Well that and my bedspread).

PrairieProf Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Just got home, but she's still sick. She had liquid D again when we took a little walk outside the vet's office, though she hadn't had any all day when the techs walked her to pee. So now she's on fasting until tomorrow afternoon. The instructions are for me to give he a second dose of Metronidazole tonight (she had one already today) and a Pepto-Bismol tablet, plus the Cerenia.

Guest Honeysmom Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Might be good to test for Lyme. Honey's onset of Lyme disease started with a day to a day and 1/2 of vomiting and then the vomiting stopped and she had the runs which to me seemed like a virus at the time.

krissn333 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 (edited) Feel better soon sweet Beth. Check around on carpet guys. I can get both bedrooms done for $65 here. Forget that! I was at Target yesterday and they have the Hoover Steamvac for $129. I have one and I LOVE it. It cleans up EVERYTHING Spend $129 once and buy carpet cleaner as needed (I use the Bissell brand Pet Stain and Odor solution). Then it's handy anytime you need to clean something up! Sutra puked up GREEN nasty bile on my cream colored carpet and it sat there for a few hours because I took him to the vet right away. By the time I got home it was dry.
