Magic weedboy is in fact my dealer - wont give his name here so weedboy works :)

Have had quite the day at the vets and not sure LJ is out of the woods yet. She had the runs this morning and then started vomiting. Took her to the vets (thanks Soss for picking up the initial exam fee - your niece pup thanks ya too) and its either parvo or worms. If its worms - I just gave her the medicine we should know by morning and the meds and some gatorade should take care of it . If its parvo we may not be so lucky but on the plus side he is 90% sure its not parvo so we can hope

W- I will say a prayer for your pup, I hope she gets to feeling better.

I am still on the upside of manic, kind of. I am beginning to get aggravated and kind of anxious. I have, like $11 in my checking account and $56 cash to last me until the 1st. Boy did I screw up at Wal Mart.......I think sometimes I need to put someone else in charge of my money so that it will last as long as it needs to.

Well ya got me beat A thats for dam sure - if it hadnt been for Soss's offer to pay the initial 30 for pups exam I would still be standing at the vets attempting to sweet talk them into doing a charge for all of it instead of just the meds. I hate the end of the month

Well, I started out laughing my ass off about weedboy. Now, I know.


That LJ is sick. I hope she has worms. I am praying it is something simple.

My Rose, is a rescue dog. I got her from an abusive and neglecting family. We had a parvo scare with her when we first got her. She was doing the same thing as LJ, but really bad.

I couldn't find out if she had her puppy shots or not (she was six months old when I got her). After all the blood work and X-rays and a night in the hospital, turns out she has a "nervous stomach".

It's true, even now, six years later. She still exhibits signs of "nervous stomach". Anything upsets her, she pukes. I saw her puke of a whole shrimp one time.

Kiss LJ for me. I'm still praying for worms, so try not to panic. I'm praying for you, too. Whether you "let" me or not.

Love, MK

Your new pup is soooo sweet.. I sure hope it's just worms sweetie.. are the pups not vaccinated by the organization you work with?... please let us know... Good Monday to you all.. hope you have a great week...Im having a physical tomorrow.. happy pap smear to me.. waves and blows kisses...xoxox

Oh will take all the prayers we can get. I have done the parvo thing and tho the dog lived it was touch and go for about 7 months and that is back when I had funds for emergencies (cost me up front like 1800) so this time around would really put me in a bind but will cross when and if we come to it, He was thinking she was to young to show the signs of parvo with her not being an orphan. I hope to hell he is right

Jan I work with many organizations most rescues that come from the shelters are vacinated before they leave the shelter - this was a private thing between a guy up the road from me in the next town who had had a litter and LJ was the only one left without a home and the only other person willing to take her was not close to responsible (the dude himself not very responsible either but thats an entirely different story) She was to have been wormed and had first shots but he at least was honest when he dropped her off and said neither of those things had happened

I'll keep you both in my prayers sweetie.. she's such a doll..x

Was watching the naming rituals, but must have missed something..what does LJ stand for?
I lost an adorable miniature dachshund to parvo only a few weeks after we brought her home...was horrible. They sneak into your hearts so quickly.
Had to disinfect the entire house pretty much before bringing another pup home.
So LJ does not have parvo....I decided :-)
Seems they usually die of the symptom of dehydration. The vet can give them daily subcutaneous injections of saline, but that can get expensive.
Hope it all works out for you and her, W.

We are back from our trip to the shell station and ms thing sure doesnt act sick as she would have gladly walked the entire distance without me carrying her . Purchased one bottle of Gatorade cool blue. She is so not impressed (can't blame her I hate the stuff) so she is getting it down her with a syringe. Sorry no dog dying not in my house - I loose enough of them daily on the rescues not loosing one of my own .

Lj Stands for Lucifer Junior hee hee name is compliments of her God Mother/Aunt

I have reached the "I'm so sleepy it's time for bed' time. But I gotta get awake and do school work

Pops in and says yes she has worms - wont gross ya all out but the meds have proved that now lets just hope no parvo on top of it

Yeah worms.. lets hope that is it.. they will be gone in no time..x

Oh hell yes they will be . She is like a different pop even with just loosing those worms. Up and into shit again she is . SHe got into the ritz crackers (better than the cat food) . Yep the wormer made a world of difference.

I'm so gald to hear that. Have you posted pics of her yet?

Good morning all. How is everyone doing? Still doing pretty good here. Although the fibro is rearing it's ugly head this morning.
