Rammy's Ramblings

[Rammy]

I'm glad that Lucy is better. Give her hugs from me and BJ. I sure hope she continues to improve. Poor baby.

Is it looking like Goobermooch is back or just picking up stuff? I sure hope he is gone.

Ive seen his car out there just driving up and down the road. Havent seen the car in the driveway. I hope he isnt back. Just wonder where or how she got ahold of whatever made her sick.

It seemed that she got sick just after the hatching and it crossed my mind that she may have gotten something from the starter crumbs....Lucy is so small, it wouldn't take very much to have an affect on her.....I know ya are very mindful, but accidents and things happen that can't be controlled....may have been something in some poop she found or licked.....ya could spend countless hours in "what ifs", but it certainly is a Wonderful thing that she is much better....and she has "momma" to thank for being so "attentive" and catching it before it manifested into something much worse.....

She had alot of blood in her stool and was very pale. Dr thinks she got poisoned. She didnt eat any of the chick feed. I do think it was something she ate but as you said, the "what ifs" can drive you crazy.

Ok. Im scared. I went to Moms and when I got back, Lucy isnt acting right again. Her gums are pale and shes acting wobbly again. Im running her in to the hospital first thing tomorrow morning.
When I got home she wasnt waiting by the door like she normally does and was on the couch. She seemed to be doing fine. Now Im worried again. I have been keeping an eye on her. She hasnt been in the backyard. Just out front. Im probably not sleeping tonight.

Rammy let us know if you find anything out, so sorry you have been going through this with her. I hope your vet can find you some answers

I dont know whats going on. She's not acting normal. Her gums look a liitle pinker today but last night were very pale and not that deep pink you see. She's hiding and dorent want to come when called and is hiding. I thought she was better but now Im worried again.

Will your vet see her again today or are you waiting until tommrow ?
If you are going to visit with your mom today, can Lucy go with you ? Maybe she is having some seperation anxiety while not feeling well ? She just may want all YOUR attention momma

Was just reading the recall list for dog foods, some have vitamin D toxicity....this includs canned dog foods also. You can sign up for alerts on Dog Food Guide....
Anyhow I know you and your vet are on top of this...I
am just amazed how many diffrent "well know healthy"
Brands are listed....

I called told Dr shes acting weird again but her gums are a little pinker but not much from last night. He said to double the vitamin k pills and get her to eat. I got some canned Pedigree, since she eats the dry, and she ate almost a whole can. I put the pills in the food. She wants to hide still and is in the bedroom on the bed instead of in here with me. I can take her to Moms but she isnt allowed in the house. Im going to run her up to the hospital tomorrow since I cant today if she still looks pale or gets paler in her gums. I saw where she threw up outside Friday evening. The pill he gave me for coating her stomach was in it not digested. So much for that.

Poor Lucy. What about cooking her some meat? Chicken and rice? Maybe a little liver? What are her favorites?
