TheFullHouse Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Glad to hear she's getting the fluids she needs. Hopefully it's just a bad bout of gastritis and she'll be home tomorrow.

BauersMom Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hi everyone....this was a trying day. Just got back from the vets office. They gave her a bunch of fluids and they are keeping her overnight for observation. They said she had a few levels that were elevated that they want my primary care vet to look at, but her highest and most consistent levels said she was dehydrated-which I knew. Hopefully nothing too serious is wrong, but I feel better now knowing she has some fluids in her and shes being monitored. She hasn't vomited since we brought her there. I hate not having her home and I miss her already, but I'll be picking her up in the AM and bringing her to see the regular vet. Thank you all for your support! It made me feel good to know I could come here and ask for some advice when I was desperate and worried. I'm so glad you brought her in. I was going to say the same thing as everyone else - I've been in that exact situation, and things went from bad to worse VERY quickly. He became dehydrated to the point where he started having trouble even just standing up.... and it wasn't like we slow poked our way to the vet. It just happened so fast with the amount of fluids he was losing. It was a one-time thing for us and so I hope it is the same for you guys and she gets on the mend quickly!

Guest fatesrelease Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thank you guys. I hope so too. Peace of mind is great, and I'm glad it at least right now doesn't seem to be more serious...but $700 is a lot of money! I hope we don't have to make another trip to the emergency vet anytime soon. I don't have a money tree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lynnada Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 So glad you got her in and she hasn't vomited anymore. Hopefully it's just something minor and a one time thing. Yeah, the cost to take her in sucks, but at least you know the dehydration is being taken care of and she's being monitored. Whenever I'm in doubt I bring them in, especially since all my pets are 7 years old and up. I'd rather have the peace of mind and catch something early in the hopes of preventing bigger and more expensive problems later. Hoping Sarah comes home tomorrow and the news is good.

OwnedBySummer Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 So glad to hear she's being treated, poor little baby. Dehydration is a scary thing. I've never had an animal get dehydrated but I did it to myself once, the day I was released after major surgery. I had to get rushed back to the hospital. It sure doesn't feel good and the IV liquids have such a positive and immediate effect. Quote Lisa B.

Guest fatesrelease Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Hello everyone! We picked up Sarah from the e-vet around 8 am. She came out prancing like it was no big deal! I then took her for a second look to my primary care vet who looked her over and said "Well, this seems to have been a mystery illness...sometimes we never know what causes things like this". Sarah even had a semi solid poop this morning. We will be feeding her the luxurious chicken and rice meal for the next few days...but other than that she seems to be fine. Also, a good thing was that the bill I got charged was even less than expected! Total from this crazy scare we spent around $500. I hope that she continues to get better and was in fact some weird fluke thing...but if not I have a great group of people like you to rely on and a great vet! Thank you all so much for your support and kind words. It really means a lot! Yes- when we got home we both collapsed on the bed! We just woke up Thank you all again!
