On very rare occasions, a guests visit doesn’t go to plan.
When our little Baxter boy arrived Saturday, he very quickly became unwell. Usually a hardy little man, so full of life, we knew he was feeling rotten, so we informed his owners we would contact the vets if there was no improvement by morning.
No more than 5 minutes after this conversation, he started with hemorrhagic diarrhoea. We immediately contacted the emergency vets and then his owners and off we went.
After examination he was prescribed antibiotics, prokolin special food and had 2 injections. We was advised to return in 24 hours if no improvement.
With 2 hour checks though the night, offering water and his meds and food, all of which being refused we went back to the vets Sunday morning.
My worry was confirmed. He was extremely dehydrated due to the continued hemorrhagic diarrhoea and refusal to drink.
Hospitalisation was needed to get our poorly man feeling better, so he was transferred to vets now and settled in for treatment for the day and night, then transferred to Vets for Pets Monday morning for the day.
By Monday evening he was looking brighter, he was hydrated, more alert, and was discharged back to us for the night. But he still wasn’t eating, so would be going back in Tuesday for further tests.
Luckily Tuesdays blood tests were good, but the ultrasound showed illeus. His stomach was filled with fluids and he couldn’t pass them through. Once some medication was administered he was eating within 15 minutes and clearing those fluids along with some charming aromas!
He was discharged that evening with a bag of medication and we are so happy to say that he is basically back to his normal self!
Throughout all of this we kept his owner up to date on everything that was happening.
We also had other dogs in our care, so as soon as we saw that Baxter was feeling poorly he was separated from the other dogs. Once he was hospitalised we did a deep clean inside the house and outside in the garden and we kept our other dogs owners up to date on how their dogs were too.
Thankfully this is a very rare occurrence, but we want to assure all our clients that we will do everything we can to look after the dogs in our care at all times.
We also want to say a huge thank you to Vets Now in witham and Vets for Pets Braintree for all the amazing care and support they gave little Baxter 🐾💙🐾
