A Staff member writes: Remmy was surrendered to the care center due to cost of medical expenses. The owner stated that the night prior to arriving at the care center Remmy began drinking excessive water and then vomiting. At the care center Remmy has been having excessive bloody diarrhea. He was parvo tested and the results were negative. He needs follow up vet care ASAP to have xrays to check for any possible obstructions and further diagnostics.
