Batmom Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Robin is right. You wouldn't expect one aspirin, given one time, without other meds, to do that. At all. Dogs can be endoscoped but there are vets who prefer surgery and circumstances where surgery just makes more sense. Deep breath and ask the vet. Hugs.

rycezmom Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Sending lots of prayers. I assume they are giving her shots to help with the vomitting......and lots of stomach meds. It would be a good idea to scope her now, before she gets any worse. I agree 100% with Diane on this. I'm keeping you and Wendy in my prayers. L.

LaFlaca Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Don't beat yourself up-- has the vet considered that this might not even related to the aspirin?? How's her bloodwork??? Thankfully, her bloodwork is fine. This morning she is stable and alert and had vomited last at 2 a.m. Her protocol has been changed to Cerenia (an anti-emetic) and Carafate (used to treat ulcers). This sounds like a good plan to me. I briefly discussed endoscopy vs exploratory surgery. The vet's thinking is that if she continues to have bloody vomit on this new protocol, there's most likely a pretty big ulcer that needs surgical repair. Let's hope that the Cerenia and Carafate do the trick so that the surgery becomes unnecessary. God, I miss Wendy. I keep thinking she's here, right next to me, like she always is. I miss her grumbling, sighing and frantically nesting at night. I miss her farts and her burping green tripe in my face. I miss her little, pointy head up my butt. I want her muddy paw prints all over the house. This BITES HARD! My heart goes out to all you GT'ers that are going through crap like this - and worse - with your puppies. There oughta be a law.... Thank you all for your prayers...keep 'em comin'.

LaFlaca Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hello all - Your prayers and healing thoughts seem to be working. Wendy is still stable, and has not vomited since 2 a.m. Saturday morning. There is no more blood in her stool. She was offered food today but refused. That doesn't concern me too much after what she's been through. Tomorrow is D-day. The vet will decide if he'll do an exploratory surgery to see if there's an ulcer (or worse). I'm hoping that since she seems to be done vomiting and there's no blood in the stool, no surgery will be necessary. Please everyone keep praying. Keep the healing energy flowing for my girl and all the sick GT puppies. With all my heart - THANK YOU!

Batmom Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 You're the customer. If you want to bring food from home, just do it ... politely, and maybe something soft/bland (canned, perhaps).
