Little dog, big problems: Another update on Suzie

I posted earlier about Suzie's setback. This little dog has been through an awful lot, and my heart's just breaking for her tonight.

After spending the night at the ER, Suzie then spent the day at the vet, where she's depressed and leaking bloody poop and urine (due to her spay incontinence, not a urinary tract problem -- they had to stop her Proin because she's vomiting so much). Here she is at the vet this evening:

I'm speaking to her veterinarian in the morning, and may have more specific information then, but I believe they're thinking right now that she has an ulcer and possibly Addison's Disease. I have no idea why all this just started happening after this leg injury and am still confused about the role of the medications they've given her, and hopefully I can clear that up when I speak with her vet.

Jan brought her home for the night, and had this to say:

Suzie home 10 pm...hasn't lifted her head...feeling pretty bad....she's been turned on her other size, massaged, and changed...oozing stool with blood...she had to pee and I thought she wanted the inside of her leg rubbed...she spread her legs to let me catch urine in tissue and clean her...poor dear...

It's so hard to see her come back from literally a day from death to a happy, healthy life, and then crash like this.

We'll keep you updated...

That makes me very sad for little Suzie. I am keeping my fingers crossed that all is well very soon.

She's probably had Addison's for a while and the leg issue allowed it to be found. It is a good thing as it is better to find this stuff early and get working on stabilizing it.
