Today started out pretty rough. Sydney started puking last night all over the floor. She puked five times before I went to bed. Because Maddy doesn't sleep well in her bed right now, she's in her bassinet. I pulled her into our bedroom with me about 11:00 pm.
She woke up at 3:00 am or so and wanted up. She had a 102 temp and she had pooped and was about ready to overflow. I was thankful she woke up. I went out into the living room to feed her some and Sydney had gotten sick again after we went to bed. While I was feeding Maddy, Sydney actually puked again right on the floor. That was gross. Just flemmy stuff all over the place.
I went back to bed with Maddy. In the morning, I walked out and she had puked again next to the couch - a lot. Then she puked again. She was lying on her side and had zero reaction to anything. I asked Jim to take her outside just in case she got sick again.
Thank goodness it was nice out. She was not doing well.
I took Reagan to school and Jim took her to the vet. We were told she might not make it. The vet thought she had a gastric ulcer that had burst and she was septic. He was really concerned about her. I figured it was a blocked intestine due to the contents of her puke. After a while, we called the vet and found out that she was slightly better off. She had swallowed a ring of Reagan's that perforated her colon. She was septic, but the vet felt she had a better prognosis. She will be in the ICU for a while, but she will hopefully recover.
I have been really frustrated with Sydney lately because of her meds. It's for her mastitis, but was making her crazy. Without it, she wouldn't be able to eat or move her jaws. As frustrated and irritated as I can get with her, I don't want her to die. Damn dog! I can't wait to see her today. I pray she pulls through this thing so I can love on her some more.
