apbuild Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Starve of food for now Ive, and then contact your vet at the earliest opportunity. Sounds to me as if it could be twisted stomach but I ain't no vet. Get him checked as soon as you can. Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I'm am with Rob Ive, don't give him anything else, but it sounds like something stuck or twisted gut. Have a feel round and see if he is tender in the gut area. Hope he gets over it, nothing worse than animals being ill as they can't tell you what is up.

deadeye ive Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Took the JR down first thing this morning where he was kept in . So far Temperature was OK. The X-Ray yeilded nothing untoward . The blood test revealed dehydration but nothing else . He is on a drip at the moment and is being kept overnight and if he can keep solid food down tommorrow he'll be out ,if not then it'll be exploratary surgery Vets do a wonderful job but I'm somewhat bemused how they can operate with no indication as to how much routine procedures cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Earlier in the year both of mine were vomiting and ******** all over(can`t spell dia-wotsit)and there was bits of blood from both ends.When I spoke to the young vet,she said that you should feed your dog small amounts of carbohydrates as when they void themselves and there is nothing there all they do is break blood vessels and cause them more stress and dehydration.

al4x Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Glad he's ok. Vets bills can be scary. My dads a vet and isn't local to us. Our two Jack Russels had an accident with a horse and got trampled very badly to the point one needed to be resuscitated though we thought she was dead. They'd been on a double lead and managed to wrap it round the horses leg which then reared up with them attached and tried to shake them off and stamped on them. It was horrendous. Got them to the nearest vets where they were given a big dose of steroids and one had 2 xrays taken. As it was Saturday lunchtime they were going to just shut them up and see if they survived which as we weren't happy about it we made the decision against all advice to move them 100 miles to my dad. Good job we did as apparently the drip and drugs one was on would have killed her as they were treating her like she'd been in a car accident yet she was mostly suffering from strangulation from the lead. Once we got her there and she was a mess eyes bulging couldn't see or hear or stand he despite having 30 years experience dug out a few books and actually bunged her on a diuretic to reduce the swelling. Within 20 minutes she could see then he wanted to put her down to see if she could walk straight and she raced unsteadily out of the door he caught her and she ****** all down his leg. She'd obviously been gasping. They went on to make a pretty much full recovery. But the main point was for 2 steroid injections 1 drip 2 xrays and 1 hour in the vets we spent £250 so god knows what it would have cost had we left her there to die!
