Snoopy
Hypotension/Shock
We’re so thankful Snoopy is feeling much better. This adorable one-year-old mix breed came to WVRC – Racine after vomiting, problems breathing and collapsing on the floor after a walk with his owner. He also suffered from bloody diarrhea while in hospital. Snoopy was treated for suspected GI side effects associated with shock, hypotension (low blood pressure) and a coagulopathy (blood clotting issue). He received IV fluids, a plasma transfusion and intense supportive care as well as meds to reduce stomach acid and nausea. After almost 2 days in hospital, his owners continued meds and monitored Snoopy at home. Snoopy is back to feeling like himself again and Dr. Gould couldn't be happier!
