Zim Is Sick

My boy is so sick. The vets are doing all they can to try to figure out why he is vomiting and has diarrhea with traces of blood. So far they are ruling out blockages, the pancreas and his gall bladder, they have now sent stool samples to the lab to test for Giardia. He won't eat, he hasn't eaten in days, he is drinking so that's a plus. They prescribed food for him that he won't get near. I am trying to be strong for my kids (who are stressed out) but every time I look at him I just want to cry. He is never unsupervised outside and none of our other dogs show any signs of this at all. I just keep praying for him and trying to trust the vets will figure this out (we do have great vets)~ Sorry, I just needed to vent to people who understand Corgi love~

Comment by Bev Levy on August 11, 2009 at 8:35pm: Any word yet?

Comment by AkMotleyGal on August 9, 2009 at 3:21pm: I got him to take some pepto (that's an interesting adventure) and he hasn't puked since yesterday. He isn't eating on his own, my daughter and I managed to get some of the prescription food down him (same way I did the pepto). He isn't running a fever, he is still drinking, he isn't very energetic but he will still follow me around. The test results they are running should be in tomorrow (I hate waiting), thank you all for your kindness, concern and prayers (we have all been doing a lot of praying)! It's hard for him to really get in to anything, I run a daycare and everything is locked up or away. We are all really fanatical about it. Now it's just waiting....Thanks again!

Comment by Nicole, Stanley and STELLA! on August 9, 2009 at 11:09am: I hope he's feeling better! I know it's so difficult to wait for test results while he's so sick. I had this experience with my last dog. Hopefully they will find out and get him medicine soon.
