:( :( :(
So last weekend I took Beaver to the vet. I woke up that morning and she had been sick all over her kennel. I made a vet appointment for her at 4 that afternoon. She was pooping water... then she would not be able to poop anything, then back again. When I went to the vet... they did all kinds of tests. Tests that I don't know anything about, and therefore did not object to. All I knew was that she was sick and so whatever tests they suggested, I was ready to pay for. The whole time they were only interested in selling me their goddamn stupid fucking pet wellness plan which would cover all of the UNIMPORTANT things. They kept bringing up this stupid fucking plan.
So they said she was fine, gave me the bill, handed be a brochure about their wellness plan... I paid the bill and told them no thank you on their stupid fucking pet insurance (which subsequently is not insurance at all, but a preventative type of deal.) THE ONLY THING THEY TOLD ME TO DO WAS GIVE HER BENEDRYL AND FUCKING PEPCID for 6 days. THATS IT. Yet they charged me a fucking arm and a leg. OH. And they told me she could stand to lose a couple pounds.
Anyway. So it's been a week. She was fine.... until yesterday. So I took her BACK yesterday. What did they do??? I DONT KNOW, but they charged me another $400 fucking dollars. I was on cam tonight @ wcc... my intentions were to go downstairs, cook beaver up some rice, feed her, get on CamZ... Well, she went outside. She couldn't poop. Not at all. So she came inside and 5 minutes later was pawing to go back out. So I let her out.. she was circling in the grass trying so hard... she can't get anything out. Every few minutes she is pawing at the door to go outside, and I'm following her with a flashlight to see if she goes. She can't go.
So now I'm thinking.. watery poop ... then can't poop. Gained a little weight... = She's got intestinal blockage. Which = surgery. Very, very expensive surgery. But I dropped almost a grand at the vet alone in the past 6 days on people who didn't do SHIT for my baby... plus since she was sick I hired someone to come to my house and dog sit-- and don't get me wrong, the lady was sweet but since it was thanksgiving she charged me a "HOLIDAY" fee-- plus since she was taking care of Ramsey and he's a pit bull (She said she didn't 'do' aggressive breeds) she charged me for that... but she was the only person I could get, and all the doggy kennels were full. So... what does it all add up to?? about $1,600.
So.... I should be on CamZ right now doing privates... but I cried so much my eyes are puffed out and baggy looking. Beaver is laying next to me with her head on my pillow. I called the 24 hour animal hospital and they said "Wait and see how she does the next day or two."
In short.. if you're wondering why I'm not on, it's because my baby is not feeling well. So could you send some positive energy her way?? :-|
Enjoy the Pictures!
Im sending the good vibes,honey.It kills me when my Chloe gets sick so I know how you feel.Hope she is better soon.She’s lucky she has a mommy who loves her so much!Of course,my love to you too!
Sucks to hear that… hope your dog gets better soon.
I’m really sorry to hear that your baby is sick. I used to have a husky so know how heartbreaking it can be to see them sick. I have a few questions though, if you don’t mind me asking. Does she eat stuff when you’re not looking? Did they do any x-rays? Did they ask you to bring a fecal sample to check for parasites? There are a handful that could be causing this. I think that whatever it is will pass (barring bacterial imbalance, or major parasite load)… it’s probably not bloat or a stomach flip (small dogs don’t usually get it, and she would have been on deaths door by now if she had it). I’m curious as to why they gave her benadryl, it doesn’t sound like an allergic reaction, and all it would really do is make her sleep.
Try to be careful about feeding her too much rice, if she’s having trouble “going” already rice won’t help that, it’s usually just for helping with the watery- loose stool. Just give her lots of love, and try to keep her comfortable. I’m sure you have a long standing relationship with this vet, but it kinda sounds like you may want to think about moving on to another. I hope she feels better soon.
Initially she had hives also, which is why they recommended the benadryl. That itself was nothing new. She’s had hives before, and it’s possible she has a food allergy. They also did do a stool sample test. They did not bring up X-Rays but I should have asked.
I just wish she could talk… so she could tell me what hurts, what she ate, etc.
Today she pottied a little bit but not enough for me to feel better about any of it.
sounds pretty bad but and know what its like to have a sick dog
Hope your baby is feeling better,hon!Just letting you know Im thinking of you.
hey lucy, so sorry to hear about your dog

Awww poor beavy! Hope she gets better soon!!!
I’m a little late coming to this, but I’m sorry to hear about your dog being in such an uncomfortable state as well. As there been any improvement the last few days?

She’s much better.
She still has some funny discoloration on her skin but nothing terrible terrible. I’m being very cautious with what he eats JIC it’s a food allergy of some sort.
