My parents' little black terrier mix, Rocky, is very sick right now. He had a bout of diarrhea and vomiting that seemed to clear up, but he wouldn't eat. And he developed a couple bumps under his skin. My mom went home to check on the dogs at lunch and Rocky's side was all bloody like he'd scratched it open or something. She took him immediately to the vet, where the said he had some bacterial infection and gave him an antibiotic shot and some other shot, and she brought him home. He began vomiting and having diarrhea again, they took him to a different vet who said it wasn't what the first vet said, and Rocky may have had a reaction to the shots. He had four hours of subcues yesterday, and came home for the night, and went back at 8am for four more hours of subcues. Rocky has barely eaten, he's shedding his intestinal lining (he's having what I call the jelly poos), so of course his tummy doesn't feel good. He managed to eat some baby food at the vet. The vet has done tests and really isn't sure what this all is. My parents are bringing Rocky home right now, they say he's more alert. But can they have some vibes that Rocky will pull through this and be healthy again? I don't want them to lose another dog young (Rocky is only 5), not after Benji.
Daisy is doing very well though, she'll be 13 in June.
