RileysLegacy Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) A few weeks ago he had a seizure, but has been doing pretty well since then. But yesterday in the morning he wasn't his usual self, nothing dramatic, but i could tell something was off. By the time I got home from work he was clearly sick. He had trouble walking when I took him out to pee, and was shaking and hunched over with his tail tucked. He did eat dinner, but I had to carry him to his bowl when he's usually inches away waiting for me to put it down. After dinner, he seemed really lethargic so I took his temp. It was 104 so I called the closest ER vet and they said to bring him in. On the way to the vet I got really scared b/c he was hardly moving and his nose felt ice cold while his body was burning up. But once we got inside the vet he perked up a bit. All his vitals were good and he just had bloodwork after the seizure that all came back normal. So he got some IV fluids and Rimadyl and she sent us home. He slept through the night but is still lethargic this morning, and did not want breakfast. His temp is 103.3. I'm going to call my reg vet and see if she thinks I should bring him in. Any good thoughts for my little man are welcome. I am SO scared. He turns 14 in 2 months. Thankfully i have some wonderful friends who kept me from completely going off the deep end last night. But being a single dog mom is not fun in times of crisis.

RileysLegacy Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Thanks so much everyone. He just had bloodwork & it was all normal so that's what made the ER vet think it's not kidney or liver or anything like that. I am dropping him off at my reg vet for the day now. He's sooo lethargic & sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same.
