Mango was spayed yesterday. Here is the link:
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...77#post1890777
I am VERY worried about her because today, she is throwing up continually. Has anyone else seen this after a routine surgical procedure such as this??? I am just so very scared for her right now. I have called the Vet, am waiting now for Hubby to come home and we are taking her back there. I don't want to drive myself, in case she starts again on the way.
This morning she had her pain meds and antibiotic. I am now wondering if there could possibly be a connection... if either one of them could be causing this.
Any advice or recommendations would be so appreciated. I have never seen her like this and it's scaring me. She is normally a total "lunatic" still doing zoomies constantly, even though she is now 16 months old. At our meetups, my little girl is known as "demented" Mango because of her hilarious antics, so to see her this way is just tearing my heart out.
Help!
Lauren

Edit: I have been giving her an ice cube to lick while we are waiting, just to be sure she is getting some fluids

list her meds on here, if you can- maybe someone knows about them!!

2Parises · 04-01-2008, 03:56 PM

I would risk it and get back to the vet. If she starts to vomit in the car you can always pull over...and I would call ahead and tell them you are coming.

Please let us know how she's doing.

IluvLucy · 04-01-2008, 03:58 PM

I hope all goes well with Mango. It's so scary when they're ill.

I'll be checking in a little later for updates

Praying for your baby!

Lauren Hun I hope you can get her to the Vet. It may not be to bad but it is better safe than sorry.

When Pixie was sick last firday she threw up like 5 times in a hour and became really dehydrated.

The anesthesia can make them nauseous, so eating can be not-so-fun for a day. If she's thrown up more than maybe twice, I would go now. I don't think it should wait.

It might be the pain meds though.

Patti · 04-01-2008, 04:16 PM

Hope she is ok. Maybe the meds are making her sick.

YorkichonBella · 04-01-2008, 05:24 PM

Checking in on Mango.....hope she is doing better. Sending Prayers for her!

SophieRose · 04-01-2008, 05:36 PM

Checking on Mango and glad you took her to the vet. Warmly, Deborah

Cinq1964 · 04-01-2008, 05:38 PM

Hope all is well for Mango!! Hopefully it is just the meds. I was told when Nolee was neutered, not to be surprised if he did throw up a little, especially if he ate or drank that day. Your in our thoughts and prayers!

laurenr · 04-01-2008, 05:57 PM

Oh you guys are so great for responding! We just got back from the Vet. He has given her an anti-nausea medication to be given to her half hour before the antibiotic. He said to not give her pain medication tonight and see how she goes. I still cannot believe that she could throw up THAT much and not hurt herself, but she does not indicate that she is in pain. I did keep giving her the ice cubes throughout the day, and I think that kept her hydrated okay. The Vet checked her gums, and says the color is fine for now, but he told me to bring her back tomorrow if the new medication does not stop this constant throwing up.
He said to give her a small amount to eat if she wants it, but I am scared to start this whole cycle all over again. She was projectile vomiting this afternoon, and I would think her little tummy must be so irritated. The only food she will eat so far is Evanger's Cooked Chicken. Mango is a finnicky eater at best, so I always have it on hand to mix with her kibble. The latter she will not touch at all.
Like all of you here are with yours, this baby is just beyond precious to me. I am just so frustrated that I cannot seem to alleviate her suffering.
Thank you all so much, again.
Lauren

Thanks for the update, I was getting worried I will be sending prayers.

Bizzymammabee · 04-01-2008, 06:05 PM

Hoping she continues to get better. Most likely her tummy was somewhat empty and then given the pain meds and antibiotics it might have upset her tummy.

Puppy kisses to mango.

cj125 · 04-01-2008, 06:18 PM

Hope Mango will do better tonight.

Don't forget about baby food or rice for her little tummy. Please keep us posted. Prayers for you all

Betty'sMom · 04-01-2008, 06:23 PM

I'm glad you went to the Vet just to be on the safe side. Hopefully, tomorrow will be much better. I don't think she should need any more pain meds. I really think they are the culprit in this case. Neither of mine had any pain meds at all and they did fine without it. Feel better tomorrow morning, Mango!!
