Dagmar Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 mia vomitted up her lamb heart last night, and now has bloody stools. Heading to vet today, appt 1.20pm. trying not to stress, but I am. She is alot slimmer than Charlie and eats anything - Im worried shes gotten into something in the garden and Ive missed it. *sigh* Her worming is up to date. I cant think of anything. Good idea to take her to the vet. Hopefully it is nothing bad. If you can, take a stool sample with you, then the vet can check it out. Sometimes worms get resistant to conventional wormers, that is the reason I am only using food grade diatomaceous earth for worming. All the best! Dagmar PS: keep us updated!

poodlefan Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Could be some sort of stomach bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hopefully it's 'only' a tummy bug Vomiting/bloody stools are usually not from eating rubbish, IMO. If she gets worse before the scheduled app't take her in anyway! Hope she's sorted soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sas Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) Why aren't you worried? Vomiting and Bloody stools would warrant a visit to the Vet? Edited May 25, 2010 by sas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megan_ Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Why aren't you worried? Vomiting and Bloody stools would warrant a visit to the Vet? She is and has booked them into the vet? The original post says as much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeGee Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 vet went ok. we took a sample for the vet to look at. Excellent, lovely vet, named Dan. He thinks one or both of them have ingested something - no parasites came up so he has given us zantac and a pill that lines the stomache. I cant remember the name, OH has gone home with them and I have come to work. We have been advised to monitor them, and if there is alot more bloody stools or vomiting we are to go back asap, otherwise back in a week for a test that will advise if there is any damage to the kidneys. I am beside myself trying to work out what they may have injested and OH is going to go over the back yard and house with a fine tooth comb. We have always thought we are pretty good at keeping things away/out of reach but we must have stuffed up :D Thanks for everyones concern. sas, I know u'll go over the post and realise you've mis read it :-) Ive been an absoloute mess with worry about my babies - but I'd get grumpy if i thought someone wasnt going to take their pups to the vet if they were that sick! Fingers crossed by pups will be ok :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeGee Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Ive come home from work. Im too preoccupied, and the more I stress, my back gets worse (I have a bad back)... OH has separated the 2 dogs. He kept Charlie with him, and Mia in the living room. Came out and Mia has done a normal poo - like totally normal - so we think its just Charlie now. Will monitor both dogs, but keep them separate. Should have done that in the first place. Both pups have normal behaviour, and under vet instruction, are only being fed boiled chicken and rice. *sigh* my poor babies.

I think they will be ok. WE have only had one stool from each pup since we got back (its both pups too, we have had a bloody stool from charlie, and a bloody one from mia) but they are drinking water and eating their chicken and rice normally. I will just continue to monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagmar Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 really really stinky wees would indicate kidney issues? I have to get them to vet first thing in the morning dont i? Could just be a bladder infection. Both dogs? Do they wee normally or are they straining? If straining, go to the vet asap, could be stones. If not, you can collect some urine in a sterile container and either check it yourself (indicator sticks from the pharmacy, ask the pharmacist which ones you would need for detecting bladder infection, they know) or hand it over to the vet's office. This way you save the money for a consultation. Of course as always, if you are concerned, please go to the vet and have them checked through.
