Well I started going a a new vet when I got Tucker and I have gotten to know everyone in the office in just over a week because I have been there or been on the phone with them almost every day!
Tucker had his meet the vet appt last monday - they said he is in great shape, very healthy and a tad underweight. (He is 28 lbs but for his frame he is a bit underweight) We had all the blood tests done and everything came back negative. He went home wtih a deworming pill (just in case) and he had no stomach upset from it.
Thursday he got neutered - they kept him overnight (standard practice there) and I picked him up Friday. He came home to me wtih a cone because he was licking at his incision. He was mopey and defeated looking Friday night/ Saturday but he had no problems and he was healing quickly. I had a topical spray for the area and pain pills to give him twice a day.
Sunday morning I gave him a pain pill in a bit of Peanut Butter at 7am. When I tried to feed him at 8am he refused to eat. He pooped in the house shortly after which really surprised me - but when i took him outside right after I realized his belly hurt becasue he had more poop and it was mushy - but not liquid. I figured the meds bothered his belly and didn't worry about it. I fed him half of his dinner that night and he ate no problems. He also didn't seem to be in pain any longer so I did not give him pain meds that night in case that was the culprit. He was fine from about 9am Sunday morning until 3:30 am Sunday night. I woke up to him whining and came down to see what was wrong - he had thrown up in his crate. I took him outside and he had dharrhea - the urgent liquid squirty kind :( and threw up once more. We were up most of the night - no more vomiting but more diarrhea. Poor guy. When I wiped his bottom the last time (approx 7am) I notied a tiny bit of blood/mucous. I took him to the vet when they oepned at 8am on Monday. They kept him for the day. Gave him some injections of anti-nausea/anti-diharrhea meds and gave him small amounts of water and a few spoonfuls of food. No vomit/no diarrhea all day at the vet. Sent me home with some anti-diarrhea meds and instructions for a bland diet (tried go give me hills prescription food but I would rather give him chicken and rice). We got home from the vet and right when he got out of the car he had a small amount of liquid diarrhea - and he did again 2 more times Monday night.
It is now Wednesday and he hasn't had any bowel movements since Monday night at midnight - which is prob normal because of the diarrhea meds and the bland food. I am thinking his body is getting back to normal. I am still feeding boiled chicken and rice and he is eating enthusiastically, drinking and urinating fine, and is full of energy (even getting used to his cone). I was happy to see him geting better we all slept well last night. It was his first night with his crate upstairs in the bedroom and he was a perfectly well-behaved pup!
I woke up this morning to cat diarrhea and bile vomit :( It was my 10 month old cat Smooshie. She has never had dharrhea or vomited. She was a bit mopey when I first got up but she is acting fairly normal. She didn't come running when I put food down this morning and she usually does. (I have another cat too so I put the food down for her mainly). I called the vet and let them know about Smooshie being sick. I will take her in if she is still sick tonight.
Sorry - this has gotten really long but I just want everyoen to be healthy and happy and it is a bit frustrating. Can the cat have gotten sick from the dog?? Is there something I am missing?? Hopefully it will just pass but I want to know what is causing all these unwelcome bodily fluids!!
