[Dailydrool] A Bad Night For Hushy

[Esther Strom]

Kristin,

So sorry to hear about Hushy's bad night. I'm surprised your vet didn't warn you about Clavamox-  Waldo is on it now for a bladder infection, and it does cause nausea. In fact, when he was on it after his back surgery a few years back, he was so nauseous that he stopped eating entirely for almost 3 weeks and had to have a feeding tube put in. Believe me, I know how you feel - Waldo has pretty much had everything in the book; the vet and emergency vet could send more than one kid to college on what I've spent.

I hope he feels better soon.

Yesterday night was bad.  I knew something was up when Hushy refused to 
finish his supper.  This has never happened in 5 years...so yeah I knew we 
were in for something.   A little background first, as they have been unable 
to diagnose the origin of his Horners Syndrome Hushy has been on Clavamox to 
rule out infection as a possible source.

Any arrrooo, about an hour after supper Hushy began to barf...I am thinking 
he ate grass again...no biggee...I pick it up and instal his highness on his 
pillow with some ginger snaps...he fails to eat  or drink...one hour later 
he barfs again...this time things are very liquid...and Hushy does not look 
good.
No eating or drinking for anothe 2 hours...finally I get him to drink a 
little water at midnight.
I give him Gas X, just in case, but I figure none of his regular bloat signs 
are present so, pretty sure this is not the case,,,and anyway he has 
actually thrown up so not bloat,,,I spend the rest of the night on the couch 
wondering if this is the onset of something terrible related to the eye 
issue.....I have a vivid imagination.  By 3 AM my extremities are going numb 
from sleeping on the couch and I am in full anxiety mode..not pretty.  5:30 
I get dressed bring Hushy outside and compile a list of every possible 
reason he is not eating or drinking. 4 hours later husband is at the vet 
with Hushy at openning.....palpation, x-ray, temperature,,,,drum roll 
please...Hushy has gas in his intestines..probably caused by the 
Clavamox...169.00$ later Hushy is home with a new set of antigas meds.  BY 5 
tonight he was eating his doggie biscuits, and trying to score husbands ice 
cream Blizzard from DQ.  He is on  a bland diet for the next week.
I am so tired.....please pray for my Hushy Puppy because we really have had 
enough.  It seems like he is trying to have every germ, condition, 
contagion, allergen that a dog could have.  I am exhausted.  He is resting 
comfortably on his pillow.  All this just when I thought I could start 
looking to add a second hound becuase we finally had all of Hushy's health 
issues under control...yeah right.
I hope we are done for a little while here with the vets office. Thanks for 
listening/reading.
