Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that A U.K. woman was hospitalized for three days after her daughter‘s Chihuahua had a diarrhea attack while she was sleeping and some of the feces got on her face and in her mouth. (Read More Here).
Amanda Gommo, 51, was taking an afternoon nap when pet chihuahua Belle became ill and suffered sudden diarrhea.
“I was having my afternoon nap with Belle, like I always do, when I suddenly felt something squirt in my mouth,” Gommo told South West News Service. “It was disgusting, and I was hurling violently for hours after. I just couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth.”
Gommo’s daughter took Belle to the vet where the pooch was diagnosed with a nasty stomach bug.
Later that day, Gommo herself began displaying some of the same symptoms as the sick pooch, and she quickly sought medical attention.
Paramedics prescribed her painkillers for her stomach cramps and instructed her to drink lots of water to flush out any potential infection.
After their visit, her symptoms became progressively worse, and 48 hours later, the cramps had spread all over her body.
Ms Gommo’s mother then rang 999, who sent another ambulance and admitted her to the Bristol Royal Infirmary, where she was immediately put on a drip.
There, doctors diagnosed her with a gastrointestinal infection that had been passed through Belle’s faeces into her mouth days earlier.
She was kept under observation for three days while they rehydrated her with the electrolytes and glucose that she had lost.
Ms Gommo, who also suffers with Crohn’s disease, said: ‘From the moment I got ill to when I was put on the drip, I couldn’t eat a thing.
‘The cramps got worse and worse until I could feel them all over my body – even in my legs.
‘They sent an ambulance the second time, and I was so dehydrated from being sick and having diarrhoea that my kidneys had shrivelled to half their size.
‘I was kept in hospital for three days until they’d flushed the infection out through a drip.
‘My discharge note said that I’d suffered a gastrointestinal infection caused by a dog defecating in my mouth – something doctors had never witnessed before.
‘I’ve been drinking two Lucozades a day, plenty of tea and loads of water since it happened, and I’m happy to say both me and Belle are on the mend.
‘I’ve forgiven Belle for her little accident and I still love her with all my heart, but I will definitely be more mindful of what position we sleep in in the future!’
Gommo was kept under observation for three days while they rehydrated her with the electrolytes and glucose that she’d lost throughout the horrific ordeal.
“I was kept in hospital for three days until they’d flushed the infection out through a drip,” Gommo, who suffers from Chron’s disease, stated. “My discharge note said that I’d suffered a gastrointestinal infection caused by a dog defecating in my mouth — something doctors had never witnessed before.”
The mom was eventually discharged from the hospital, and says she is now “on the mend.”
