Do you think the A/C may have cooled your dog too fast ? Just a thought and I'm probably wrong but not all vets are always right either .anderson7807 wrote:Just wanted to share what has happened to my only beagle. I have been running him a couple times a week mainly in the mornings due to the heat and only for about an hour. This past saturday i took him out to run in middle of the day the temp was high 70's so I decide to run him for a couple of hours. I gave him a water break apprx. 45 min into the run then picked him up just at second hour. He got plenty of water again. On the return home I put him in front of the cab with me with A/C on. I got him home (back to the apt) he ate, drank plenty of water, and slept all normal for him. 8 hours later he started vomitting he vomitted all night. I tried giving him gatorade/water mix and 5 min later vomitting. A couple of hours later he had a lot of bloody diarrea with no solids. I took him immediatly to vet hosp. He has been in there 24 hrs now and they believe that somehow he got overworked and over heated then not cooled good. This caused for intestainal inzemys to die which caused the delay in vomitting and diarrea. Now they are filling him full of fluids and he needs to have plasma transfusion if not he will die. He will have to stay at least another 24 hours at the vet. I hope this works.
Were do you draw the line in cost, because this in draining my bank account.
