Okay, thought I would update you all. We got up early at the crack of dark so we could make the run to Victoria from Houston quicker and get our girl to a vet. Called and got a 4:30 appointment but got into Victoria about 10:30 and called back. They said to bring her on in. Thank you, thank you, Victoria Animal Hospital!
Nothing specific, but the sample did yield a parasite egg the vet was unfamiliar with. It was probably rice. Oops! Sending it off.
Two shots. . . one of maropitant for nausea and one high powered antibiotic. Then metronidozole tablets and a probiotic as well. No food today at all. No water for 4-5 hours, then small amounts periodically. Food tomorrow, small amounts of hamburger and rice and start oral meds.
Wants us to investigate Addison's with her because of her slow heart rate and other indicators.
Hopefully the tummy upset will be gone soon. She clearly isn't feeling well but did great at the vets. Never have had a dog that didn't space out at the vet's office. She just takes it all in stride. Love my little girl. . . and her sister.
Thanks again!
