DixiesDad Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Dixie started vomiting some night before last. Then she lost her breakfast yesterday and supper last night. After she vomits she seems to be okay. When she lost this morning's breakfast, I decided that was enough and we headed to the vet. A complete exam with a set of x-rays has the vet believing no obstruction but most likely a bacterial infection from the catfish pond or chewing on horses hoof (the farrier was here a couple of days ago). Normally she would recommend Dixie stay at the vets till Monday, but she said Dixie was not dehydrated and knowing how we watch the girls she was going to send her home with Primor for the infection and Centrine for nausea. This was what I wanted, not taking away from my vet, I know that over the weekend she'll be watched a lot closer here. Also she'll be a happier and not stressed. We'd appreciate any good thoughts sent her way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OurBoys Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Will do, DixiesDad. Is the vet thinking she might have giardia (sp?)? (from the catfish pond) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DixiesDad Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Will do, DixiesDad. Is the vet thinking she might have giardia (sp?)? (from the catfish pond) Â That was one possibility. Wish I could remember the others, but the fact wildlife could have contaminated the pond is one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
