MY POOR LITTLE GIG (MY COCKAPOO DOG) IS VERY SICK! THE VET SAID IT IS HEAT RELATED! I WAS SHOCKED TO WAKE UP THIS MORNING TO FIND BLOOD ON MY CARPET IN MY BEDROOM AND IN MY BATHROOM TILE FLOOR. GIGI SLEEPS WITH ME AND DURING THE NIGHT SHE GOT SICK! I DID NOT HEAR HER AND FEEL SO BAD THAT I SLEPT THROUGH HER BEING SICK. WHEN I WOKE UP SHE WAS BACK IN THE BED WITH ME SOUND ASLEEP. SHE HAD NO ENERGY AT ALL. LAST NIGHT SHE COULD NOT EVEN JUMP UP INTO MY LAP TO CUDDLE WITH ME. I HAD TO PICK HER UP AND TOLD MY SON THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH HER BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT HERSELF! 2:00 PM TODAY - WELL I JUST GOT A LITTLE OF THE WATER AND PEDIALYTE DOWN GIGI - THIS IS TO REPLACE ANY ELECTROLYTES SHE LOST AND TO PREVENT DEHYDRATION DUE TO DIARRHEA AND VOMITING! THE PEDIALYTE ALSO REPLENISH THE ZINC BEING LOST DURING DIARRHEA. I MIXED WITH SOME COLD WATER - BUT, SHE IS NOT DRINKING THE WATER YET! 2:00 PM & 6:00 PM - THE PEPTO-BISMOL HELPS TO COAT THE STOMACH TO REPAIR ANY DAMAGE DONE THERE FROM THE BLEEDING AND THROWING UP. THE PETO-BISMOL IS FOR UPSET STOMACH AND DIARRHEA TOO. I HAVE TO GIVE HER 1/2 A TABLET OF THE PEPTO-BISMOL 3 TIMES A DAY TO HELP COAT HER UPSET/DAMAGED STOMACH. SHE ATE AT 2:00 PM AND 6:00 PM SHE LOVED IT - THE YOGURT AND RICE IS TO HELP HER GET HER STRENGTH BACK AND IS ALSO EASY ON THE STOMACH - THANK GOODNESS SHE ATE IT. I HAVE TO GIVE HER THE 1 TABLESPOON OF PLAIN YOGURT MIXED WITH SOME PLAIN WHITE RICE. SHE LOVES THIS! RICKY AND I WERE REALLY SCARED THAT MAYBE SHE HAD DRUNK THE POOL WATER AFTER HE PUT IN THE 1 BAG OF JACK’S MAGIC AND THE 3 BAGS OF SHOCK INTO THE POOL SATURDAY EVENING! THEY SAID IF SHE HAD WE WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT WITHIN 2 HOURS AND THIS WAS ON SATURDAY EVENING AND SHE STARTING THROWING UP BLOOD DURING THE NIGHT (MONDAY) LAST NIGHT. TODAY - AT THE VET - THEY WERE BOOKED WITH A LOT OF DOGS BEING BROUGHT IN WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS GIGI AND THE VET COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT HAS BEEN TERRIBLY HOT HERE AND HE FEELS THE INSIDE DOGS ARE NOT USED TO THE TEMPERATURE CHANGE AND THEY ARE HAVING REACTIONS TO THE HEAT! DO NOT LET THEM OUT FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME DURING THE DAY AT ALL. GIGI WEIGHS 13 POUNDS AND THE HEAT IS TERRIBLE ON THE SMALLER DOGS. SHE IS AN INSIDE DOG TOO! I JUST PUT A TOWEL DOWN IN THE UTILITY ROOM IF SHE HAS TO GO REALLY BAD. I CAN TAKE HER OUT EARLY IN THE AM AND THE PM LONG ENOUGH FOR HER TO POTTY THEN MAKE HER COME BACK IN! YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN FROM ONE MINUTE TO ANOTHER! I CANCELED MY BEACH WEEKEND TRIP THIS WEEKEND TO TAKE CARE OF GIGI! IF SHE IS NOT BETTER BY THURSDAY OR FRIDAY THEY WANT ME TO BRING HER IN TO SEE THE VET! I PRAY THAT SHE WILL BE BETTER BY THEN! I HAVE TO TREAT HER FOR 7 DAYS TO GET HER BACK TO HERSELF - IF THAT IS WHAT IT IS. PLEASE PRAY FOR MY LITTLE GIGI! SHE WILL BE 5 YEARS OLD ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2014. LOVE, SUSIE SCOTT GOUGH
