Allie's in the hospital. Advise needed.....

[Leigh & Allie]

I'll start from the beginning. Last week we moved into a rental home. We are building, so we needed a rental while we finish building. Allie was very upset by this move. She never has been out of the house we brought her home to. I got her some treats from 3 Dog Bakery to give her a treat.  I gave her one the first day and a different kind the second day. The second day she threw up. It looked like she threw up the treat and her food from the morning. That night we had pizza. My husband left it on the island. I don't even have to tell you what happened next. Allie has NEVER gotten anything off a counter until now. Anyway when I got home I found three slices of pizza upstairs. She ate the toppings off the pizza but left the crust. It was a supreme pizza so onions, pepperoni, meat, olives, etc. That was Thursday. Friday she did not eat but pooped and peed normally. Saturday when she still had not eaten I took her to the hospital. They did blood work and everything was normal. I was concerned about the onions but they said her red blood count is normal. They gave her an anti nausea shot and sent me home with anti nausea pills and antibiotics. Last night she woke me up and I could tell she was uncomfortable so I got up with her and she needed to go potty. She had diarrhea.This happened twice and then she threw up again so back to the hospital we went. They have now done an x ray and it shows a swollen intestine. They are thinking either an obstruction, pancreatitis, or Addison's disease. They have her on an IV and they are going to give her another x ray at 4. I am to call them at 5 for an update. Needless to say I am beside myself with worry and what is killing me is the look she gave me when I left. It said "why are you leaving me?" I almost have no more tears...

[Leslie and Halas]

I'm sorry Allie is so sick. I hope they can pinpoint what it is, so they can start the right treatment. We'll be thinking about you.

[Leigh & Allie]

Thank you, Leslie.

[Christine & Camus]

I am really sorry to hear that Allie is sick, you did the best thing possible by taking her to the ER.  I know you are worried but she will most likely feel better by tomorrow morning. 

[Leigh & Allie]

I really, really hope so. Tonight is going to be a long night.

[F, Calla & Luca]

There is nothing pointing specifically to pancreatitis so give things some time.

[Leigh & Allie]

Very true. I need to think positive. Thanks. I needed that. Why won't 5 o'clock get here? Seriously.......I have thought that many a time, but none as much as right now.

[BG and Gavin]

Poor Allie!  We will keep a good thought for you and hope that the upset will pass quickly.

[Donna K & Quincy]

Leigh, I hope Allie is better quickly and home again where she belongs. I don't have any advice other than don't anticipate the worse. I know a little of what you are feeling after a trip to the vet yesterday with Quincy. I noticed Quincy's eye was swollen almost shut and of course this being a long weekend I couldn't wait and see so off to the vet we went. The swelling and inflamation were localized to his upper lid and the vet thinks maybe a bite of some kind or Entropion, I am leaning towards the first and I think the vet is as well. Three shots later I watched my beautiful boy walk around in a daze and he was no not himself. He would just stand in one place looking forlorn and you would have to tell him to lay down. He didn't even rouse himself to bark at or jump on our neighbour ( the only person he does this too) whom he loves. It is very hard to watch our babies when they are unwell. Luckily today Quincy is pretty much back to normal and his eyes is 90% better. We have to go back on tues for a recheck. I sincerely hope that Allie is well and home with you tomorrow. I know it heartbreaking to have to leave her there but it is probably best for her.

[Colleen, Jake & Baxter]

I am so sorry to hear that Allie is in the hospital.  Jake was there several weeks ago due to vomiting and diarrhea.  They were not sure of the cause but I am thinking it was the antibiotic he was taking. I hope everything turns out all right....I am thinking the unusual diet he has recently tried may be the culprit:(  Feel better soon Allie!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I have no advice, but I hope Allie is feeling better soon.

[Sue & Lily Grace]

leigh, I hope Allie starts to feel better real soon.  It is very hard to see them not feeling well and know they are confused about what is happening.  My prayers are with you and Allie.  

[Gail and Bailey]

I am so sorry Allie is so ill!  She is where she needs to be right now so they can do what it takes to make her feel better.

Hang in there and she will soon be home with you!  Keeping you in our thoughts!
