Woke up this morning to find Vegas lying on the floor, shaking uncontrollably and surrounded by piles of vomit which just resembled brown sludge. Called him to me and he was having real difficulty walking - not to the point of falling over but having to think about where to place his feet and being very unsteady. Took him into work and the vet is hoping that its just cos he is feeling so sick and has given him a few injections with tablets and rehydration fluid to give him over the weekend. He is to have absolutely no food and only tiny sips of water for today. He's lying on a blanket just now shaking away - every time I look at him, I think he's going to launch into a fit :-\
Please keep fingers crossed that the injections help and that we can be spared a visit to the emergency vet!!
-
Hope Vegas makes a speedy recovery, and that the vet you saw is right!
Keeping everything crossed....
-
Gill Im so sorry to read this. Sending positive thoughts to Vegas and a big ((((HUG)))) to you. :-*
-
Poor Vegas, and you. Hope the meds work and he's perked up a bit soon.
-
Hope Vegas gets better soon (((hugs)))
-
Get better soon Vegas. :luv:
-
oh Gill! So sorry to read this. Sounds horrendous :-\
I hope Vegas responds to his treatment and recovers very quickly (and of course doesn't have a fit). Poor little lad :'(
Everything crossed that you don't visit the emergency vet this weekend :-*
-
Oh Gill, so sorry.. will keep everything crossed for a quick recovery..
I don't know if this is related at all but mine were both under the weather and sick with brown sludgy stuff last week but not as bad as Vegas sounds.. I found out they'd been eating bluebell shoots and bulbs >:D
It might be worth checking your garden.. they've both recovered fine and given up this little delicacy but it was quite grim :P
Get better soon Vegas :-*

Poor Vegas, hope you respond to your injections make you better real soon :luv:

Thinking of you and poor Vegas. Hope you find the cause too :-\.

Harlem has just staggered into the bedroom, salivating. Looks like they have eaten something - I think I'd better phone the vet :-\
-
Oh doG. Let us know how you get on. Hope they're all OK, sending lots of hugs to all of you.

Sending hugs to Vegas, Harlem and you. It does sound like they've eaten something....keep us posted.

Hugs to you, it must be awful watching your babies suffer :'(
-
Gill, poor dogs and poor you!
Hope they're feeling better soon, and its not too serious. :'(

Sorry to hear about them both being poorly.
Poor you, it's dreadful when your pet's ill, makes you wish it were you and not them.
Get well soon.
-
Sorry to hear this. I hope they both respond to the medication and recover soon.
-
Oh Gill, how awful.
I do hope they start to feel better soon. And that it's not as serious as it all sounds just now.
Lots of healing thoughts from here.

Just popped by to see how Vegas is. OMG now Harlem too :huh: . Healing thoughts winging their way to your house from Fern and myself
-
God Gill that sounds horrendous, you must be so worried about them. I hope they're ok and the others haven't eaten any of whatever it is as well :'( Big hugs to the poorly boys :luv:
-
Dear dog Gill, you must be worried sick :huh:
Please let us know how they are, thinking of you.
-
Vegas seems a lot more settled and hasn't been sick again - still has slight tremors but nowhere near as bad. Harlem is still very wobbly and has taken himself off to lie in the wardrobe - has stopped being sick but still quite drooly. The vet seems happy enough for me to keep them at home and just keep a close eye on them. Hopefully thats the worst over but, my god, that was scary!
-
God Gill I've only just read this, poor boys it sounds dreadful. I wonder what they have eaten/caught. Hopefully the shaking is a result of being so sick, maybe shivery feverish. Poor babes - hugs from us x
-
God Gill, fingers crossed the boys are on the road to recovery (and it doesn't spread to the rest of the house)
It's terrifying when they fall ill like that - they go downhill so quickly (but fortunately pick up again just as quickly :luv: )
hoping you have a sick-free night and the boys are back to normal in the morning ;)
-
Thinking of you loads - it is really scary when you feel so helpless :-\
-
Poor boys and poor you, it's so worrying, but hopefully they are over the worst and will feel better soon.
-
Good grief, what a worry :'( I hope they are well soon :luv:
-
Pleased to hear that Vegas has perked up a bit, hope Harlem's recovery isn't too far behind.
-
Do hope they are all OK Gill. Must have been very worrying seieng them like that. Also hop\e you manage to find out what the cause was.
Gentle hug from me and ickle licks from the boys.
-
Oh poor doggies, hope they get better soon xx.
-
Lots of positive thoughts, licks and cuddles to Vegas, Harlem and you Gill.
Hope you are all over the worst now. :D
-
hope they are feeling better soon :-*
-
Hello Gill, I hope your babies are over the worst and the tablets work for them. What a terrible worry for you,
-
Best of wishes to you all, hopefully a good nights rest will see them right by the morning
-
Just caught this, hope they both make a speedy recovery and fingers crossed no one else gets it.
-
Oh doG what a worry for you hope they are feeling better soon and that you have a good night with them
-

Just caught up with this and that is exactly what I was going to ask.
I hope the boys will be feeling better very soon - just what you needed when you've been feeling so rough yourself. :-\
-
How awful Gill - hope they get better soon...
-
It's strange that they are going down with it in turn, rather than all together :huh: . You would have thought that if they had eaten at the same time they would get ill at the same time too.
Could it possibly be a virus, like the human vomiting bug and they are catching it from each other I wonder :-\ ?
-

Thats exactly what I thought. Vegas and Harlem weren't that far apart but Aspen didn't vomit until the evening :-\ The only thing we can think of is that my brother and his girlfriend took them to the park last night and they were rummaging about in a bush for ages so may have eaten something there but obv cos it was dark, can't be sure. They all seem quite settled now so hoping that whatever was irritating them, is out of their system now.
-
...thinking of you all, hope they are ok overnight and back to themselves tommorrow x
-
:o oh poor babies and poor you...hope they all pick up soon..sending cocker :luv: to you all
-
Hope they're all feeling better today :luv: :luv:
-
....

..just what i was thinking.
There is a doctor where I work, who is convinced that pets can pick up quite a few of our illnesses......its sounds more like it, specially as they are recovering after 24-48 hours.
....make sure you wash your hands well, wont you :o
-
Only just caught up with this --- hope they all get better soon
-
Hoping things are a bit better for you all this morning, and you are over the worst
take care, sending gentle hugs to all your wounded soldiers :005: :luv: :luv: :luv:

Suppose as long as doglets :luv: are recovered and OK it doesn't matter much now :D

Whatever it was, it probably wouldn't be there now, so don't worry. :D
