wmw999 2,514 #1 November 15, 2010 My dog is really sick, and I'd just like some vibes. Started with unspecified pain attributed to back trouble (he's part dachsund), but the pain medicine really tore up his stomach -- it's a possibility, but he was the 1% who had a really bad reaction. He's been vomiting for the last several days, got that stopped mostly because he quit eating. Then I managed to hit a blood vessel while giving him fluids (it's not easy), and he had to go back to the vet for that. Drinking some now, but still not interested in food to speak of. Poor guy. He's a good little guy, and I hate to see him miserable and in pain. Going back to the vet tonight (we've been daily since Thursday), and maybe to a specialist tomorrow. If it's life-alteringly major then that's likely to be it; I'm not into prolonging an unhappy life. But not knowing is really bad -- no assurance he's getting better, and he's just miserable. So, a few vibes please? Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

Sapphire 0 #21 November 15, 2010 Awww... I hate to read posts like these. Sending out some good, healing vibes to your lil doggie and also some to you as well! I'm not sure if you know what caused the back pain - but almost 2 years ago my lil guy simply jumped off the couch and ruptured a disc in his back. Hours later he went paralyzed from it, had surgery... and after a month (or so) regained full use of his back end again and has been fine (though w/a lil limp still) since. He's a bichon/shih-tzu mix - so they tend to have some of the same back issues dachshund's also seem to be prone to. Just thought I'd share in case maybe the pain was from something similar as it can get better w/time... Again - I hope your lil guy feels better soon!"One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar" ~ Helen Keller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warpedskydiver 0 #23 November 18, 2010 Was it Rimadyl? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,514 #24 November 18, 2010 Nope, not Rimadyl. And it might have been coincidental, as an ultrasound shows abnormalities in the stomach that might be an ulcer, but are more consistent with an early cancer. We're taking the trip this morning; he hasn't eaten in a week, is getting worse, and started shying away from me because there were about 6 different things I did to him each day, besides trying to force-feed him. That's no way to live. I quit fucking with him last night -- he needs to trust his owner. He's lying somewhat comfortably next to me right now; we're waiting for my son to come over so we can go to the vet. When you're a doggie, things are better when the master is right next to you.
