Izzy has been at the vet for the past 3 days. On Thursday when I took her in, it was for throwing up and some loose stools. The vet did a parvo test which was negative. She treated her for an intestinal infection.

On Friday AM, I noticed she couldn't walk. She would just fall over. So I immediately took her back to the vet. Her blood sugar level had dropped to 55. They cathed her and administered fluids. Then the vet called me and said she had a pure black stool indicating bleeding in her intestine. Asked if there was a chance she has eaten something she shouldn't have. I have only had her a week and it's a controlled environment. So I don't know. She gave her a vitamin K shot and sent me home with some cemetidine (sp?). She stayed with the vet the entire day. She sent Izzy home that night with the cath still in just in case it had to be used again. I got up and syringe fed her every few hours and gave her nutrical.

On Saturday AM, DH took her back to have cath removed. The vet wanted her to stay for the day for observation. They also sent home a special food for her to eat until she feels better. I brought her home and she seemed to do really well last night. Later last night I found small spots of red blood on her potty pad that came from her bottom. Her poo is brown again.

This morning she was bright and perky......a few hours later, she is just laying around. I fed her and gave her some more nutrical and watched her drink some water. She just wants to sleep and it's really worrying me.

Does anyone think that there is something else going on with her??? Should I take her to get a 2nd opinion somewhere else??? I really don't know what to do and I am panicking. Her little body is such a mess from cath insertion, nutrical, food, and anything else......What happened to my barking, jumping, running, playful puppy??????
