Way OF--I need a shoulder
Poor you - and poor dog. Mine had a bad tum this week - we kept her on
chicken and rice, and precious little of that - and she`s fine now. Still on chicken and rice for a day or two as a precaution - luckily she remembered about the newspaper on the floor from when she was REALLY tiny (she`s only 8 months old now). Hope he`s better soon. Make sure he doesn`t gwt dehydrated - you`ll know by his skin not springing back immediately if you grab a handful of it. Pat P. "Lucille" wrote in message ... I need just a small shoulder to cry on. My little dog has been sick for the past two weeks with a serious upset stomach, and all the mess that goes with it. I've been back and forth to the Vet 5 times, twice to see the doctor and three times for different meds and foods. Fortunately my vet is just a very short distance so it's not too difficult for me to get there. I'm reluctant to leave him alone just in case he has to go to the bathroom quickly and/or he has to throw up so I've been stuck in for most of this time and I'm going slightly stir crazy. And, of course, I'm feeling really sorry for him. The Vet seems to think this problem will resolve itself soon and I sure hope he's right. Lucille . |

Don`t want to worry you, but two weeks is a long time for it to clear.

They gave him subcutaneous IV using something like Pediolite last weekend
to avoid dehydration and, of course, that wasn't a happy experience for him but it did keep him hydrated and assured that I wouldn't have to rush off to the emergency room in the middle of the night. He's also eating a special food for Irritable Bowel and although he doesn't seem to like it much he's actually eating a little better now, so maybe he's on the road to recovery. We're trying to keep on top of the situation and I hope the meds and special food will clear up whatever the problem is. Otherwise, there are stronger meds that he can be given and/or expensive tests that can be done to pinpoint the exact cause. Thanks for all the good thoughts.

I know how you feel. Our dogs have always been our "children" and it's
really tough when they are sick because they can't tell you what is wrong. I hope everything improves soon! Bonnie "Lucille" wrote in message ... I need just a small shoulder to cry on.

We have 3 dogs - a westie, a scottie and a half scottie mix who looks
like a miniature wolf. Our scottie mix has been sick for the last few days but is feeling better now. He's my husband's dog of 11 years but comes and sits on my feet when he's sick. The worst we've ever had was when we first got the two "little ones". It took months to find the right food and then the westie got really sick. They're fine now and spoiled rotten! I hope your dog will be better soon. Anne |

Give him a cuddle from me. And a little one for his Mom, too. -- Star love, Norma ;-) |

Sick pets and sick two footed babies are so frustrating to care for. Neither can say what hurts. My thoughts are with you. Just hang in there.

IMO Vets. are much more clever than doctors! THEIR patients can`t tell them
where it hurts! Pat P. "Boohoo1971" wrote in message ... I need just a small shoulder to cry on.
