Post by: elkoholic on May 09, 2011, 12:26:19 PM: dont know wher he picked it up but he did .. now the fight is on, antibiotics & fluids.. He is very week now and cant keep anything down. kids are pretty broken up about it..Hope he pulls through. We lost our other yellow lab on Aug 10th and dont want to put the kids through that again...

we had a Sheppard get into some salmon skin some jack ass through over a fence into a f'n dog park!
she was in bad shape for several days, but made it through. lots of chicken broth, medications, and love.
good luck!

Post by: elkoholic on May 09, 2011, 07:55:17 PM: the bad thing is the vet was chasing his tail trying to figure out what was wrong. Did a stool sample saturday but the said it was just worms by last night he was really bad, wont touch food and drinks very little.. going to diffrent vet first thing tomorrow morning for IV fluids maybe.. funds are getting very low, hitting my pocket book pretty hard, wife asked when is enough, I feel I owe it to him do do everything I can for him, but feel a hard decision may be coming my way. The whole family is pretty tore up about the whole thing....

Title: Re: New Pup- update SALMON POISONING
Post by: elkoholic on May 09, 2011, 08:22:21 PM: just said it could go either way , seen dogs that looked good not make it and dogs that looked bad pull through. fingers are crossed but in my heart i dont feel good about how this will end up...

Post by: ORCA_SIX on May 11, 2011, 06:14:07 AM: Glad things are looking up. Poor little dude.
Title: Re: New Pup- update SALMON POISONING
Post by: Hornseeker on May 11, 2011, 06:50:52 AM: Wow...if he ate on his own things must be getting better! My lab got salmon poisoning when she was about 2 years.... I could tell she was feeling bad and thought maybe a game of fetch would pull her out of her slump, so I picked up the dummy and she didn't even get off her bed.... I immediately took her to the vet, cause that dog would much rather have been dead than not played fetch!

SHe made it to play fetch many more days....

Good Luck ELK!!! We are all pulling for the little guy!

Post by: Hornseeker on May 18, 2011, 10:25:50 AM: That pocket book thing is a tough pill to swallow.... Well, Im sure glad he's ok! You'll recover from the $$ pains....
