peibe Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Jewel came down sick again yesterday She started vomiting and refused dinner again for 2 nights. Last night she pooed on my sons bed in her sleep, did not even realise she had done, it was just water This morning when I let her out for toilet she had a massive gush of liquid from her rear end that was bright red and full of blood, there is also blood in her urine and vomit I have taken her back to the vets and she is on a drip undergoing more tests After talking to Jacq, I have asked the vet to test for lupus and arsenic poisoning. Have to wait for the results He tried to take blood from her and she started bleeding badly, her blood is not clotting properly He has told me to be prepared she might have luekemia, he is doing specific tests today The only other option we have is to open her up and look inside, but until her blood is clotting properly she will not survive the operation Please send all positive thoughts her way, my baby is only 5 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peibe Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Brought Jewel home tonight The strange thing is she is bright and alert She ate some dry food and is asleep in front of the heater The only way you can tell she is sick is her eyes, they are very dull She has now lost 7.4kg and is not looking very good at all, I can see all her ribs and her skin is hanging off her All the results of her tests are going to take up to a week to get back She is on meds to make her blood clot in case the tests show nothing and she needs exploratory surgery I have everything crossed this is something simple Thanks for all your kind thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember if vitamin K is the cause or the cure though. Just a thought considering the amount of blood and her blood not clotting, together with the presence of rats. Some people may have put out bates if there was in influx of rats after the floods. Poor girl, I hope she's on the mend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peigirl Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Peibe sending prayers and positive thoughts from over west. Probiotics would be good to sooth her tummy. Ive found they work best given toward the end of the meal. Would be a good time for yogurt/cottage cheese too. Easy to digest in belly and bowel. Poor girl, she must be breaking your heart to see.

peibe Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 That is possible Benny. Vet is testing for everything Both my dogs would and do catch and kill vermin, they have never eaten them though, just kill and deliver to me in bed mostly, yucky I am trying yogurt but it seems to make her vomit more, will try cottage cheese She was starving hungry this morning and had some more Eagle Pack, Duck and something or other, kept both meals down Thanks again for your thoughts and suggesstions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
