shmoo Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) My poor Sweep threw up 2 nights ago, I didn't think much of it as he likes to bury bones and dig them up on occasion. (I try to prevent this but he gets away with it sometimes :D ) He has been taking some anti-biotics and prednisone for around 6 days for his skin, these were vet prescribed of course. (Not the first time he has taken these drugs, he has a history of skin problems) He didn't eat his dinner that night or last night and I was getting very worried last night, but he was still responsive, pink gums and had elasticity in his skin. Woke up this morning and although I know he was drinking loads of water last night (he slept next to my bed last night) he was very dehydrated this morning and breathing in pain. Took him to the vet this morning and he appears to have an enlarged liver. He is still there now getting bloods and is on fluids. My vet knows I'm broke, but I told her to do whatever it takes. Please help me prayer for a healthy recovery. I'm trying not to think bad thoughts, but I will fall apart if I loose him.
