Poppy's poorly. UPDATE: Poppy's home + on the mend!
« on: July 06, 2009, 12:15:12 PM »
Poppy is very poorly today - think she may have pancreatitis again.  She was very ill 2 years ago with pancreatitis + had an extended stay in hospital.  She recovered well and had been fine (by carefully monitoring her food!) up until this morning.

She has been sick 12 times since 3 am + will not take a drink.  (She isn't even looking for food which is not like her!)  She has been crying on + off and has trouble climbing stairs and is holding her self akwardly as her tummy is probably sore.  She is hot + didn't even getting up when my dad came to see her.  She keeps trying to dig holes to lie in which is how she was last time. She is very quiet + poorly looking, so have vets appointment at 16.30 this afternoon.

Hopefully she will be fine.

Poor Poppy! :luv:
I agree with jennybee here. Seems a long time for her to wait if she's that poorly.
Really hope she is ok, and gets better quickly.
Sending hugs and lots of positive thoughts.

Thanks.
Have tried to get her seen sooner - I phoned at 8am this morning but they said they couldn't see her till 16.30 as they are full, even though they know how unwell she is.  Have just phoned again and have been told the same.  It is frustrating because they are normally really good.
OH is at work but my dad is coming up again + think we might just take her down anyway so they can see Poppy with their own eyes.

I can't believe they are so full that they'd turn away a dog with a potentially serious illness :-\. Good luck with taking her through, sending tonnes of positive thoughts her way :luv: :luv:

It seems extraordinary that the vet cannot see Poppy sooner given her history.  >:(  Hope she gets the help she needs soon.

UPDATE:
Poor Poppy is having to stay in the vet hospital as she is poorly.  So all upset at leaving her!
We took her down before her appt + still had to sit + wait 20 minutes before seeing the vet.  (The vet nurses I had spoken to when trying to get her seen earlier than 16:30 hadn't passed on how poorly she was. >:D)
Vet was not impressed as Poppy should have been there first thing this morning, not afternoon!
She is on IV fluids as very dehydrated, has had painkillers + bloods done.  Does appear to be pancreatitis so they are treating her for that. 
Hopefully will recover quickly now she is getting the treatment.
