<div>I am 178 drools behind so please, please, please, if you reply back to the drool copy me in at <a href="mailto:twobassetsonedoxie@gmail.com">twobassetsonedoxie@gmail.com</a> or at <a href="mailto:delindalarock@yahoo.com">delindalarock@yahoo.com</a> Of course--Murphy's Law--Our Vet is on Vacation this week. He reopens on 8/31 at 9 am. </div>

<div>Anyhow, Mazzie has been acting odd and not wanting to eat her breakfast off and on, but mostly not wanting to eat. She just turned 6 (to the best of our ability--from humane society). History of a few seizures, terribly shaped body, and fusion in her back. Fusion is from her L1 to her sacrum MINIMAL. The vet told me that her fusion will one day affect her bodily functions. The question is--is now that time? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>She will eat dinner on the nights she won't eat breakfast. She will turn away a treat at first, but then will take it during the day--you know trying to get something into her so bile can't build up and start the belly juices going more. So, Saturday morning, no breakfast, she refuses. An hour later, vomits bile. Possibly normal. Pay neighbor to watch her all day as we have a family outing going to Darien Lake with other family. Eats dinner for neighbor. Neighbor watched her at our house in our yard. Nothing to get into at all. Sunday, no breakfast again. Eats dinner. Has a treat that day--vomits up treat. Keeps dinner down. Feeding Purina One Source Sensitive Systems as she has intolerances to Chicken and it is easier on her stomach--this food. Tried plenty of others and vet approves. Has worked for her for quite sometime. Has mostly been on a different food than all others in the house. So, 2 days vomit. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Today, eats breakfast. Has a treat. Keeps all down. Breakfast at 6. Treat around 11 just a small pupcorn from child. I get a frantic call around 3:40 today from my children that she is vomiting blood up. Then the piles got lighter in color. She vomited 4 times. I drive home really fast and get there. The first pile is so dark brown with a redish outer layer (not bright). Second pile is lighter and on and on until it is clear. We take pics of the vomit. I clean it up and the first pile smells a little like poo. THe next piles look more like bile with a frothy layer, but they leave a tacky service behind. She had vomited on wood floor and linoleum both. Why the tacky? BM was had for sure this weekend. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The fusion is just a birth defect issue and not something we caused. Plus it is getting worse rapidly. She was abused or believed to be abused before we got her. We don't let her upstairs, etc. We are withdrawing food, pushing fluids. No temp--101.4 rectally. Then, going on boiled hamburger and rice. We know how to treat. Question is--any experience and possibly what????? I am just so nervous that she is "at the end" already from the fusion. The fusion got so much worse in 6 months time from an x-ray and that was awhile back. The vet is amazed she can walk. My kids are so upset. They are 10 and 12. Please enlighten me. She is not dehydrated. Gums are not pale, eyes and nose are fine too right now. I have the ER number ready just incase.</div>
<div>Thank you in advance.<br clear="all"></div>
