Best time to go emergency vet?

[Cindy]

I almost wish he wasnt home! He is refusing his pills, even spitting them out (encased in peanut butter no less). I have to hold him upside down, throw them down the back of his throat, and close his snout for a long time.

he had a tiny bit if chicken before, but is refusing it now.....sigh....

I am so sorry to hear that. Hang in there you are doing everything you can. Will continue with our prayers for you and yours

maybe a good night's sleep will do him a world of good, Cindy. I sure hope so.

I am not hopeful. He is refusing to eat or drink for me now. And this is after the appetite stimulant.
I am afraid we will be back at the vets tomorrow or the day after

Aww I’m so sorry Cindy! Is it possible he’s just being difficult for you? We’ve all had a dog that shunned us after being gone for awhile and then you came back to a sick dog and now this. He really hasn’t had a chance to have a normal homecoming. Hopefully by tomorrow he’ll settle down and be willing to eat for you.

and maybe try ursodiol. that seems to be the only medication for it.

Ursodiol is what Mr Chance was on and it really helped! Hugs and prayers for you both!

I am sorry things are not going well...it sounds like the hospital may have sent Gavin home a little too soon if he doesn't improve. If today is not better maybe a return to the hospital with a few days on an IV to give his system a full supportive rest might make the difference.

Sending good thoughts and hopes that he's better this morning....if not, I agree with Trini, he may need a few more days at the vet.

Poor, poor you and your little Gavin

I just read your long post and it's scary reading,
I really feel with you,
it's so awful when our dogs are sick and we can not help them.

You're the best mom Gavin can wish for

Even though we are so helpless in such a situation,
SN shows its best side, there is so much knowledge, help and understanding

Cindy I hope so much️
that there will soon be good news about your little beloved Gavin

He is still moving around OK. last night I hoped he was just tired from the vets. But even this morning he will only drink water from my hands. I haven't even tried the food yet until after some of his meds. Last night I had to coat the chicken in baby food to get some in him. Nothing corresponds to the eating and drinking well the vets said. Gavin has never been this miserable before, and he has never moped when I left him for trips (or taken him to the vets..he loves the vets cause they give him treats) so I dont think its that.. I have a feeling ts going to be a long couple of days
