They can't tell me whats wrong!!!

[Roxysmama]

I posted earlier this week that Roxy,my 4 1/2 month old brindle female, had hook worms. They gave me parasites meds and she still was vomitting 4-5 hours after she ate. I took her back, to a different vet in the same group, they did another stool sample and they found a small black piece of plastic in her stool. So they did Xrays and saw what looked to be an obstruction. So we scheduled surgery for this am. They called me back to tell me that they couldn't find and objects but they did find thickening of the intestines. So they did a biopsy. They also took another stool sample and found more parasites. The problem is that none of the 4 vets in the practice can identify the type. They sent the sample out to Cornell University to be checked. In the mean time we wait!!!! Of course when you wait your mind wanders and think the worst!!! Any one have any suggestions or similar experiences. Could the thickening intestine be contributed to the parasite? Or are we looking at two different problems...
Any ideas would help...

Michele and Roxy!!!

I don't have any insights into what's plaguing Roxy, but I hope its nothing serious and she gets better very soon!

No insight either...but lots of love and healing vibes coming your way for Roxy.

I don't have any idea either, but just wanted to let you know you have our heartfelt thoughts and vibes coming your way that Roxy is going to be okay. Shakira says to tell Roxy to hang in there and get well quick because it makes mommy feel so much better.

I hope Roxy is better real soon. It is so hard when our babies are sick and we don't really know what is wrong or how to fix it.Tons of boxer healing vibes coming your way.....

Hoping they find out what's wrong with your baby and she'll be just fine in not time.

She's doing well...

I just talked tothe vet and the said she's recovering from surgery very well. She woke up this am bright eyed and ready to play, in true Boxer fashion!!! She also ate quite well, she acted like she hadn't ate in months. I still worry, but am feeling better especially since she is acting more like herself. Thanks for all the well wishes and I will keep you posted once the biopsy comes back.

Oh, what good news!! So glad that your furbaby is feeling better and is now on the mend. Was it a parasitic obstruction then? ~ Cathy

I think so, Could that cause thickening of the intestinal wall ? They are leaning toward that, I'll know more when the biopsy comes back and the results of the stool sample that they sent to Cornell University.

That's great news! When will she be able to go home?
