Guest zombrie Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Good job Doolin! Great update! Weird problem though. I wonder if there is some kind of OTC throat spray you could use to numb his throat a little? I know part of having a sore throat is re-irritating it by swallowing to try and ease it. That's an interesting thought! I'll have to look into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zombrie Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 We might have to go to the e vet after all for a scope to see what's going on Doolin is REALLY bad this morning, he is having really bad spasms and he wants to eat things that are metal for some reason (the fence, the screen on the door, the zippers on the beds..) I will call the regular vet first to see what he thinks. I'm just worried because they will have to put him under for the scope, and that always scares the crap out of me.

Guest greymama002 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 many positive thoughts and prayers that the scope will find the cause and Doolin will soon feel much better! to the sweet boy and for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phall Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Brie, I'm thinking of you as you go through this with Doolin. I know how very special he is to you. Please post as soon as you know anything. Hang in there. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlies_Dad Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I hope all went fine yesterday at the vet. His symptoms are very strange and while putting him under is not something you want to do, it hopefully will help diagnose exactly what is going on. Please keep us updated when you can and we keep you both in our thoughts.

Rickiesmom Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm so sorry to hear Doolin has had a setback. We will be holding him (and you) in our thoughts today, and watching for an update. Hope the vets can get to the bottom of his trouble so he can begin to heal and not look back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaineysMom Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I was thinking seizures too, seeing the video and the craze to eat everything. Is it possible he got into a toxin of some sort?

Guest happygrey Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 So sorry to hear this Brie! I don't know how missed when you first posted it but I am sorry to hear that it's bothering him again. My fingers are crossed that it soon resolves and that you don't need to take him to the e-vet.

When I read this yesterday my first thought was a mineral deficiency, which would explain his craving for metal objects and in some cases can result in tremors. My thoughts are with your sweet boy. I hope you and your mom get this figured out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zombrie Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 About an hour after I posted that last update, he bounced back to normal and throughout the day he had little bouts of spasms. If he continues these strange symptoms the next day or two, we will bring him to the e vet. It is looking good at the moment, he is being his normal playful self We might have to go to the e vet after all for a scope to see what's going on Doolin is REALLY bad this morning, he is having really bad spasms and he wants to eat things that are metal for some reason (the fence, the screen on the door, the zippers on the beds..)

I'm not really sure about how to test for it, just mention it to your vet, he/ she should know if this could be a concern and how to test for it. I'm glad Doolin has been doing better and there haven't been any more episodes. Hopefully it will stay that way and you won't have to worry about it anymore.

Guest zombrie Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Well, I guess it wasn't a scratched trachea. He is doing this "swallowing thing" again. It is a total mystery. He ate his breakfast normally this morning but this afternoon he is has been doing this on and off for the past hour. He has vomited 3 times. He is trying to eat anything and everything, and he totally panics when it starts up again. I have no idea what to do to make him feel better When he did this the first time, it is when all his tummy/bloody stool problems began. He has been doing fantastic lately. I thought this battle was over - I guess not The worst part is, we are in between vets. When he had all this stomach issues along with Mira's issues, I completely lost faith in our vet, he misdiagnosed both of them with very obvious things. ETA - he has been under the care of a specialist for his tummy issues and she is great, but I don't know if this falls under her category?

Remolacha Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I am so sorry Doolin is poorly again! I assume the specialist was an internist? Internal medicine covers quite a bit, and this behavior was linked to his stomach issues last time, so I would at least talk to her about her seeing him again.

We are definitely going to make an appointment to bring him in to her. I just don't know if he needs to be seen right now, I have no idea what to do. He seems calm right now and is trying to sleep. This happened about 20 minutes ago and got up all panicky again...Hopefully it is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
