Send good thoughts for Shiloh!

Shiloh had some loose stools for the past 3 days and has barely been eating or drinking for the last 24 hours. Very early this morning after feeding him a bit of boiled rice and boiled chicken for dinner, we woke up to hear him vomiting green and found that he had the runs (green too) on the area rug.

 

I called the vet right away and got a rush appointment this morning. The vet found that even though he was still somewhat energetic, his gums are very pale and he has gurgles in his abdomen.

 

They took blood and stool and gave us a bit of wet food and some pills for him. They also have him a shot and I forgot to listen when he told me what it was.

 

Poor little Shi- I could hear him cry out when they took blood. When the vet came out to talk to me Shiloh tried to jump into my friends lap and then under my chair.

 

Our vet said that shiloh would be most comfortable at home and he will call first thing Saturday with the results of the blood work. We have to watch him closely.

 

It was hard to understand if this is as serious as my mind is making it!

 

Anyways- please say a little prayer for my special guy....

 

Thanks!

Shiloh is doing ok today. No vomit and no diarrhea today or last night after the vet shot.

 

He ate a little bit of wet food last night and water- this morning he is a bit more active and seems to be eating a drinking a bit more. He is being very good about taking the pills that the vet gave him too.

 

The vet called and said the stool sample looked fine and the blood showed his organs were working well still. His gums are still pale- and we are just supposed to keep an eye on him to ensure it isn't a blockage from something he ate. If he starts to move his bowels again normally (which he hasn't since yesterday morning, but he also hardly ate) all should be well.

 

Thanks for all of the well-wishes! I think he is getting better.

Thanks so much!

 

Well, he had a poop today- it was still a bit greenish and shiny.... but he seems much more energetic and is eating a drinking the mild food we are giving him. His gums are getting a bit more pink too.

 

So far, so good.
