Doodles is in the Hospital

@DianneN Does the vet know why he quit eating or drinking or why he wasn't eliminating on his own? Or is it possibly just age related?

Oh, thank you. You don't have to now. He didn't urinate at the vet. My son suggested bringing him to my house where he would be more relaxed. He did it!!! So thankful my prayers were answered.

@MarshaMusselman He was ill since last Thursday vomiting and wouldn't eat or drink water. He got constipated so much so, that it pressed against his bladder. He couldn't use his box at all.

@Nevena83 It isn't stupid, because I've told him many times that we're going.. I washed all his blankets before and he smelled them the second he came home. Doodles has such a vocabulary!

Thank you. He's 10, but came home to do what he refused to do at the vet's office. We are so happy. I've been crying since I spoke to you last!

@DianneN Well, that's wonderful. Maybe it will sound stupid, but did you think he might feel you're going and that's why he's sick?

@DianneN It's the cool thing to say!

. What a discussion and thanks. Soon I'll be saying "Y'all!"

@LovingMyBabies I wanna be cool down South.

@DianneN good to hear that..

@sofssu Thank you!!!!

He’s doing better now. Thanks so much

@DianneN we will have to wait for the results there.

Thank you! Although he did not urinate at the vet's, he did come home to try before going for surgery. He did it and should be fine.. I cried all morning and afternoon, even while praying.

@amadeo So far, so good. Blood tests showed he didn't have diabetes.

Thanks so much for your prayers! He didn't urinate at the vet. My son suggested bringing him to my house where he would be more relaxed. He did it!!!! Now to give him constipation meds for a while.

@HazySue Thanks so much! He was in a Red Zone the vet said, and was so worried. My son called her with the good news. I'm soooooo relieved.

@DianneN I am so glad he finally did it. Hopefully he is on the road to recovery.

@DianneN Happy to hear that and to think we get happiness when a pet moves its bowl and bladder I am always watching Preiti.

Thank you, Grace. He didn't urinate at the vet. My son suggested bringing him to my house where he would be more relaxed. He did it! We just have to keep our eyes on him to make sure it continues. What a close call we had today.

@allknowing We do the same with human babies, and our pets are family. Thank you!

@DianneN I am sure that he feel relaxed at home and this helped. I am so glad, poor boy.

@LadyDuck

The vet called my son and told him he didn't urinate and suggested the hospital. My son decided to bring Doodles to my house, where he is very comfy. He ate and then immediately used the litter box. We gave each other high 5's and I cried with happiness for having my prayers answered. We just have to keep an eye on him.

Save your prayers, Marie. He came home to use his box where he was more comfortable than at the hospital. He is fine for now. Thanks so much!

@DianneN I hope you have a safe trip Dianne, and get to Florida safely. You must be very excited! Don't worry about the fact that it is a little chilly here when you arrive, it will warm back up in a day or two for you!

@moffittjc Thanks Jeff. We are here and extremely pleased with the glorious weather!

Aww, thanks so much, Jeff. Thank goodness he's okay. We just have to keep an eye on him. And to think we're leaving Thursday morning!!!

Thanks so much. We had a miracle happen. He didn't urinate at the vet. My son suggested bringing him to my house where he would be more relaxed. He did it!!!! Now to give him constipation meds for a while. Thank you!

@DianneN That's wonderful!! I am so happy for Doodles and for you!!

@cindiowens Thanks so much. I'm still crying from happiness. I only have two more days with him and wanted them to be special.

It was a true Hanukkah miracle!!! After sitting in a cage for hours, Doodles was Brough home here where he feels most comfortable and did what needed to be done. We were so happy and relieved. We just have to keep an eye on him. We were all distraught as you can imagine.

@Hannihar I thought I explained in my response that he didn't need the surgery.

@DianneN I do know how you feel. People that love their furry ones hate to see them get sick. I hope everyday that Sophie and I both will live to a ripe old age together. She has a long ways to go. Wait did he have the surgery already?

I posted this in haste and from being so upset. As it turns out, I want you to save your prayers. The vet cleared him out, but put him in a cage hoping the pressure on his bladder would be relieved. He was there in that cage for hours. Finally, my son decided to let Doodles come to my house where he would be more relaxed and comfy. Sure enough, he emptied his bladder and we jumped for joy! Then I cried some more for having my prayers answered. He's very comfy having eaten, guzzled lots of water, and is now in front of the fireplace listening to Bach and getting kissed every few minutes by me or my husband. Thank you so much!!!! We just have to keep an eye on him.

@Courage7 Thank you and thank you!!!! I consider this a true miracle. I only have tonight and tomorrow left with him. He moves into his daddy's house on Wednesday,

@DianneN Oh that is wonderful news!!! Yes he must be with you Dianne. He had to be near you and in his place he is familiar with praise God!! Well I will continue to pray for his complete healing Dianne. Thank you for coming on to tell me.

Thanks so much and you are right. However, a miracle happened. My son brought Doodles home to see if he would do what he needed to do, and he did!!!!!!! We are so thankful and relieved.

@Janet357 He's 10. Thank you. He has been rather quiet today.

@DianneN that’ great to hear:) how old is doodles?

@DianneN I had no idea anything was going on when we were commenting back and forth today. I am so glad for your update that Doodles went the bathroom. What a scary thing right before you guys leave. I hope he improves each day until he is back to normal. No one likes to be away from their loved ones especially pets so your sons idea to bring him home to help him relax was a great idea. Please keep updating us on how he is doing we all grow to love each other’s pets here :)

@shaggin Aww, thanks. I felt as if I was curt and short in my responses. I just couldn't think straight. It was scary, and so awful before leaving. I only have two days left with him and will be out most of the morning. He goes to his daddy on Wednesday. It would have been tomorrow, but the generator is being installed and my son didn't want loud noises and people scaring Doodles. So glad to have that extra day. We will stop by on Thursday to say goodbye. Our son is going to use our car to drive us to the airport and then store it in his garage and hopefully drive it at least once a week when they go out.

You should be a vet! They thought he had a blockage. He definitely needed the enema to relieve the pressure on his bladder. He was left in a cage for many hours with everyone hoping he'd tinkle. He didn't urinate at the vet at all. My son suggested bringing him to my house where he would be more relaxed. He did it, and no need for being put under. We just have to keep an eye on him. Thank you! It was truly a miracle. He was at the vet while I was blabbing with you this morning. I couldn't think straight.

@DianneN I am so happy to hear that.

@SIMPLYD Thank you. I’m so happy to report it to you. What a scare he gave us.

Thanks so much for your prayers. Your prayers were answered. After being stuck in a cage for hours, my son brought him here where he is most comfortable. Within minutes of eating, Doodles used his kitty box and made a tinkle, so no life threatening surgery was needed. It was a miracle for us.

What a relief @DianneN I'm glad he's ok.

@rebelann Thank you. We have to keep an eye on him that he continues to use those boxes of his.

It wasn't good at all. They tested him for diabetes and liver enzymes. They also noticed his heart murmur and enlarged heart. He did fine with his enema, but was placed in a cage for hours hoping he'd urinate. He didn't urinate at the vet. My son suggested bringing him to my house where he would be more relaxed. He did it! We are all so overjoyed. He wouldn't have survived being put out. My prayers were answered.

@DianneN - I'm so glad to hear that Doodle's is doing better. Our daughter who lives near us has an elderly dog who is not doing well. I know she is worried that she will have to put her down in the coming year and our soft-hearted daughter is dreading it. The dog can hardly stand up and, once she does, if she shakes her head she falls over. As a result, she often wets herself. It would be comical if it were not so sad. This is the dog we often dog sit when our daughter is out-of-town, so we will all miss her. Our daughter is giving her medications and is trying to keep her alive and comfortable as long as possible. Here's a picture of her in our living room, sitting by my husband's feet.

@DeborahDiane Thank you. Doodles is doing better and hopefully will be here when we return from Florida. My son is so worried his heart will give out. We'll see if there is any improvement in February when Doodles has his third ultrasound. I'm so sorry to hear of your daughter's poor dog. That is a very sad situation and heartbreaking to know what's coming. We just went through this with Kuma, our son's female cat. He still cries over the fact that he misses her so much. My brother also had to have his dog put down last month and called to chat today. He broke down, too. I know that your daughter will try to keep her dog alive with meds and as comfortable as long as possible. It's heartbreaking. She is such a beautiful dog. Hugs to you all.

He didn't urinate at the vet. My son suggested bringing him to my house where he would be more relaxed. He did it!!!! No putting him out! I can't tell you enough how overjoyed we are and relieved. Thanks so much.

@debjani1 Thanks so much. It was a true miracle for sure!!!

Thank you! Those prayers, mixed with mine, made him well. A miracle!!!!

@DianneN wow!thats a very good news. I am happy for your Doodles.

I'm sorry. He was doing well, but I realized he had not been using his kitty box at all. Thanks for your prayers, but you can save them for someone else. He didn't urinate at the vet. My son suggested bringing him to my house where he would be more relaxed. He did it! He will be fine now!

@jvicentevalera Thank you. He's been very quiet today and tomorrow he goes to his daddy's new house for 6 months. I hope he'll adjust and feel better. He does have a bad heart condition dn as you can see, I made him very fat.

@DianneN That's wonderful news Dianne! I am so happy Doodles is feeling better. Thank God he's okay now. Just check on him whenever you can, just in case!
