Rosey is Sick:( UPDATE 6

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]

UPDATE 6:

I think Rosey might Finally be feeling better.  We walked for about 30 mins this morning but no poop.  So I took them with me when I got my haircut and afterwards we went to the park because I really wanted to get her to poop.  She was very playful, and was up for some soccer and frisbee.  She did poop 3x's and it looked okay... One of the poops though came out orangish and then there was a piece that was really pale yellowish white...sorry to be so gross but I found the color strange.  I am not sure what causes multi-color poop.  It was still a bit slimy but improved overall.  She was really hungry when we got home so I gave her some more potatoes and ground beef and then a tiny bit of Orijen and she gobbled it all right up.  Tonight chicken and sweet potatoes. 

Hopefully we are through with the worst!!  Thanks again everyone for care and concern!!!

UPDATE 5:

Rosey's stomach last night started making all these crazy gurgly noises last night and she refused to eat all day yesterday.  I could tell she was not feeling well as she was pacing and panting.  In order to get her to settle down I gave her a Tramadol which did knock her out for the night.  Her stomach was quiet this morning and she woke up looking for food.  So I cooked up some ground chicken for her and Bandit and they ate that right up.  They don't like the rice so we skipped that. 

As for the Orijen I don't know what to think.  I hate to get rid of all of my supply as it's almost a full bag and as we all know that is $80 worth of dog food.  The one thing that I notice in my Orijen is that some kibbles are lighter and some kibbles are darker.  Does anyone else notice that? I am going to get some more ground chicken today and just feed them that over the weekend.  Is there any other starch besides rice I could try? 

Bandit seems to be all better.  I think he got diarrhea from the ground beef and rice I fed him.  He was never as sick as Rosey either.  His poop was nice and firm this morning. 

 

UPDATE 4:

Rosey slept all thru the night!!! Hooray!!!  It was her little brother Bandit that got me up at 4am to potty..ugh.  Oh well still much better than the previous 2 nights.  The vet called and all her blood work came back looking good so we are still dealing with gastroenteritis of an unknown origin.  She did eat a little more this morning they both have a very good skill of picking out beef from beef and rice and spreading rice all over the floor.  So we will be doing some morning cleaning today and they both are going to get a bath.  My parents are coming over to watch them while I go to my job interview that I had to reschedule from yesterday. 

 

Thanks again everyone for helping us get through this!!!

 

 

UPDATE 3:

Okay things are looking up, at 9 pm I got the ground beef and rice out and started to coax her to eat.  I then forced 2 pieces of beef down her throat and in the midst of this Bandit of course wanted his fair share.  There were some scraps on the floor and Rosey started eating them off the floor.  So I sat on the floor and we had a rice and ground beef party and whilst Rosey would only eat the ground beef Bandit didn't mind eating up the rice bits...

SOOOO happy she finally got real food in her tummy, she had not eaten since Saturday evening.  Tomorrow more ground beef!!!

 

Thanks too all:) <3<3<3

 

 

UPDATE 2:

Rosey is home!!  She had the full work up done, she does not have an obstruction but does have very inflamed intestines.  She is on antibodies and probiotic paste .  I won't have her bloodwork results until tomorrow.  I made her some ground beef but she still has no interest in eating, hopefully that will change this evening.  She is drinking water and has been pumped full of fluids.   

 

Thanks everyone for all the well wishes and concern!

 

UPDATE 1:  Rosey had a rough night getting up to go out and try and poop every 2 hours and then even more frequently this morning.  She still would not eat anything, not even a goldfish cracker:(  I talked to the vet and he wanted her brought in for bloodwork, x-rays and an IV drip.  So she is there now and will be there most of the day.  Poor baby Rosey:(

 

So I spent the Thanksgiving holiday at my parents for almost a week and she and Bandit just LOVE it there..  Yesterday morning started like every other with soccerball fetching with Rosey by a good game of chase and zoomies and then we went to run errands.  On our last stop my mom ran into the grocery store and Rosey started heaving and threw up 4 times in the parking lot all bile.... So I got some pepcid, Pepto and gave her 1 pepcid and 2 hours later a 1 tsp of pepto but the heaves and puddles of bile just kept coming.

Sooo I got the number for a ER vet in the little town of Kerrville and he was a total newbie and was everything from Pancreatis to Cancer to bloat.. I asked that he just give her the anti nausea shot and meds and let me take her home which he did.  Then Rosey was up all night pacing and wanting to go outside.

 

So today she finally slept for a few hours this morning and I drove them back to Austin and took her to her vet because she has not had any food since Saturday night and finally drank some water this evening.  They pumped some fluids in her, gave her some probiotics and an antibiotic.  She is completely lethargic, only gets up to go out and squirt a little runny poop out..I don't know how to get something in her stomach and furthermore I have NO clue as to what caused this...

Thanks amy! So glad truman is feeling better:)

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

Suzann, I am so sorry to read this! I know you have to be freaked out and so so scared!  I have no idea what may be causing her problems, but I will pray that she gets better SOON (like NOW!).  Remember, A&M has a great vet school here in College Station -- only 90 miles away from you -- IF she should need it.  For now, let's not think about that and focus on her turning the corner to recovery!  Please keep us posted!  Lots of hugs to you, Rosey and Bandit!

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

Oh my...I wish there were something we could do to help you.  I hate it when there are no answers and it usually takes care of itself in a day or two.  The fact they pumped liquids into her should help but you might have to go back for more.  Hopefully the meds will kick in by tomorrow.  Do you want Nurse Gracie to come help?

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]

Yes please Gracie come help and let Rosey out every two hours so she can try and potty!  Mommy is exhausted!

[Camilla and Darwin]

I'm so sorry. Keep us posted, I'm thinking of you guys...

[Clifford, Cloud, Jake..and Kim]

Rosey - Cliffy and Cloud are sending lots of good health and doodle hugs your way...all the way to TX.  If you still lived in Ann Arbor they would be on the road to see you but Texas is a little far for these guys to travel.  We're thinking of you sweet Rosey.

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Here's hoping this morning brings a better day for Rosey!  Keep us posted.

[Barbara B., Sasha & Oliver]

Awwww poor Rosie.... I think at times they pick something up that is unexplainable and you just have to ride the wave until it passes.  She is probably lethargic due to no food and water.  When Sasha was sick my vet said try to get her to eat a little bit at a time, give her some boiled chicken or her fav. food but a very tiny bit and some water.  She might feel better if she eats but I would start with very bland food.... chicken, rice...etc.  I hope she feels better :)

[Carol and Banjo]

Just seeing this Rosey.......Banjo and I are hoping today is a better day for you and your mommy!!!   

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

Sorry to hear Rosey is sick.  Hope she starts feeling better soon.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Did she have any different foods over Thanksgiving...something richer than what she would normally eat?  The symptoms do sound a lot like Guinness when he had the Pancreatitis.  If that is what she has, the antibiotics will help, but it took a couple of days.  I never knew what caused it with Guinness, but the blood work confirmed that's what he had.  Hydration is the key issue, and we did have to take him in a couple of times for fluids.  I sure hope she is feeling more like herself very soon!  Keep us posted.

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]

Jane - She didn't have anything really out of the ordinary, peanut butter dog treats that I made is the only thing I can think of.  I think she may have pancreatis too.  I am waiting on a call from the vet this morning.  He did prescribe Metronidazole yesterday but it says to give with a meal well that is hard to do since she won't eat.
