I'm glad that Zak will be okay. Hopefully the upset stomach will disappear soon.

Sure gave us a scare...but then calling my dad to find out meds was scary to...he has no clue as to why he takes that medication.

This might be a good opportunity to talk to your dad about his medications. I don't know your relationship with your dad, but you may want to set up a meeting with him and his doctor. I know my mom has to keep an eye on my grandmother's medications, and she is always in contact with her doctor to make sure that she is on the right pills, the right dosage, and that there is no interference. I know that most doctors are good about keeping up with that, but better safe than sorry.
 
Ya know the crazy thing about my dads pills is they live in a independent living place and used to live in a condo and when we could take the 'kids' there I would go over the kitchen floor and all floors before I let the dogs loose and who would ever think the could some how carry one here and it get dropped. I have told my dad he needs to find out what all these meds are for and yes I need to go with him to the dr. have gone once before and was not to impressed with his Dr.
He is barking at something right now.

Then to add to this I just found out my 46 year old niece has colon cancer...and it is Marks birthday.

YES on Dad. IMO it is critical that someone help with an older persons medications. Many older people figure the Dr knows best and just go with it. By asking questions they are not contradicting them but helping them do their job. I was more aware of the pressure numbers in my eyes than the Dr was even though he knows it is a concern and acts on that knowledge. But then I have to remember me not 30 people a day for years :wink2:

Glad Mr Zak is fine and hopefully the rest of the clan gets things turned to the better.
 
Oh no! Poor Zac! I really hope he starts feeling better soon... it's so tough watching them be sick like that because they can't tell you what's going on. :(

Also very sorry to hear about your niece... *hug*
 
Zak

Susan,

You do have a lot on your plate right now, I am so glad that Zak is feeling right again. Be good to yourself too, remember to breathe and cleanse or the stress will make you sick.

Best,
Kate
 
Zak is still not better, had some runny D last night and some around 2:00 this morning. Gave him a little rice along with a saltine for breakfast. Trying to keep him hydrated. I spoke to another vet last night and she said this must not be from that pill but a coincedence that he has a GI upset could of gotten into some thing out side- he has been nibbling more since Parker has been here.
He as so droopy last night, kept streching the vet said that is normal for an upset belly. Mark got the kitchen cleaned up for me, we ended up not going our for his birthday but ordered in, then I was able to sit with Zak which he was wanting me to do, he slept all night while we watched tv.
It is so hard when they don't feel good.

Oh no! I am sorry that he isn't feeling any better. I hope that by the end of the day he's gotten it through his system.
 
So far this morning I can't get him to drink. I gave him 3 mm of gator aide earlier. I have not seen him pee, Mark may have but I haven't. He did get us up during the night once. I am about to call the vet.
 
Also...even though so much time past from when Zak ingested the pill, to when you got him to the vet, did your vet do the following:
1. Give him activated Charcoal
2. Some blood pressure medicines can STOP the heart of a smaller dog. I am assuming that the kind that you dog took did not have this side effect, but it would be more help if we knew what type of medicine this was.
3. I am still questioning what kind of blood pressure medicine would burn an esophogus....please let us know!!!

Thanks
Danielle
