Rusty,

I remember reading about this on another forum. My dog had something very similar, started out with the runs, then the throwing up and got real listless. Had her at the vet for the two night thing, they tested her and said it was viral. We had to do the chicken and rice diet also along with a couple of meds. Did they give you any medications?

If your dog is anything like mine, she will be doing great real soon.

Went into sticker shock with the vet bill. Thinking about getting some pet insurance now.

Yeah they sent me home with flagged anti and she gets pepsid later in the day.She's doing good laying next to me at the moment snoring.. Laughing

Yeah the bill on her was just under1000,and I just spent 5000 on her the last year with her acl operations,but shes worth it...

Sounds like the same regiment I got. My bill was around $1500.

I was pretty shook up, she was not looking good and had dropped 8 lbs. from 65 down to 57 in just a few days. She was on an IV the whole time the vet had her. Ran a bunch of blood tests and they also tested her for Addison's and Cushings (?) diseases which are low and high adrenal output respectively. Those tests came back negative.

I hear you on the worth it for sure.
