anybody up? poorly pup :(

it just seems like one problem after another!

I think sky hasnt eaten something bad..she has been sick since 11 pm and its now 1.25 am..im hoping someone is awake to reassue me!

She has been fine all day..fed usual food at usual time..but me and my partner had pizzas and i think she may of got hold of something she shouldnt.

the sick started off as proper vomit and now it is foamy/ saliva and just nasty.
she has had diarahea once. I am unsure of what to do.
he last 'sickness' was about 1 minute ago..it seems like its not stopping.

is she taken water????

tiny bit shes not responding to it ..shes started shaking..shall i give her an ice cube?

pup..sick..shaking..not sleeping....vets??

even small bits of water are good make sure she keeps taken it
cant think there would be anything in a pizza that would give that kind of reaction so i think you can rule that out.
looks like you may have a sleepless night making sure she keeps drinking water but it will be for the best
i take it she had no jabs yet
best i can serjest is keep eye on her and get to the vets first thing in the morning as the shaking dont sound good in such a young pup

whitegates vet practice
3 main rd lincoln
01522790928

number for emergency vets in lincoln 24hr service

I would give the vet a call and see if they think you need to come in

thanx..i rang last night and they wanted to see her. her temp and blood were fine and shes now on anti biotics...and we are 200 pound more skint lol...hopefully insurance will cover..
sofa day for me and sky!

Awww poor Skye they are so prone to things until they are a few months old and their immune systems have strengthened.

Glad u got it sorted x

so glad the vet said nothing to serrious
give sky a cuddle off memphis and keep us informed

Very glad that Sky is okay. They can really make you worry

the vet has said give her white fish. The only white fish i have is frozen cod fillets which you oven cook. Are these suitable if boiled? Last thing i want to do is upset her belly even more

What insurance cover do you have & when did you get it? As long as you've had the insurance for more than 14 days you should be covered, especially as the emergency vet told you to bring her in. You'll need to get them to sign the claim form, though.

How is she now?

she is asleep on the sofa..she has been crying alot, looking very sad. She has eaten a small handfull of dry food which was mixed with rice.
Where is my nipping, chewing, fiesty pup gone!
Im sure after lots of sleep and cuddles she will be fine alone with taking her tablets.

I hope she feels better soon ><

how is she now ? did she keep the food down? when Trouble was poorly and wouldnt drink i offered ice cubes as i thought just a lick here and there was better than nothing .


i do the same with the kids if they have the vomits and cant keep anything down

she is ok now..very sleepy! She is eating rice and is keeping that down. The vet told us to keep her on rice and chicken for 3 days and she is drinking plenty today which is great

Glad she seems to be improving. They do worry us, don't they?

haha the thing with chicken and rice is she will twist here face when you put her on the normal foods when she better as they get a taste for the nicer things in life

ahh glad she is on the mend

Glad to hear she's doing well

Glad to hear that Sky is on the mend.

Did the vet say what the problem was ? or did I just read through the thread too quickly.

she was on the mend. We came down at 7 am and she had had diareahha in her crate in the night which she had eaten. She now has diarehha and sickness. The sickness looking and smelling like diarehha. Poor sky, I jst want her better now!

Poor girl

Just an update...Weare back at the vets at 5 o clock. She has blood in her diarehha.

Hope that she is okay

Sounds like she may have gastroenteritis.
If it is this which i'm pretty sure is make sure shes drinking fluids, even if that means syringing some into the side of her mouth slowly.

To check if a pup or an adult dog is dehydrated gently pull up on the skin at the back of your dog’s neck. If the skin does not immediately spring back to its normal position (within 1 or 2 seconds), your dog/pup is dehydrated and needs immediate attention. The longer it takes for the skin to return to its normal position, the more severe the dehydration.

Note thou in an older dog the skin loses some of its natural elasticity so this is not a reliable home test for them.

i tried this test and it doesnt seem too bad.it goes back to its normal position in around 2 maybe 3 seconds. I have just hand poured some water into her mouth though as she has hardly drank anything today and eaten nothing. Im not too worried as the vets said ' when can we go' not ' we need to see her asap' so im just waiting till 5 now to see what they say!

poor little thing...hope she continues to feel better

Poor little mite, hope she does well at the vets.

Shes staying overnight at the vets its for the best but im so heartbroken

Oh, no, what did they say?

They still havnt said what is wrong. They touched her gums and lifted her neck like denise said and she was very dehydrated. Her temp was really high so they are putting her on a drip and anti biotics
They want her in for 24 hours..roll on tomorrow!

Hopefully the drip will make her feel heaps better. I imagine they'll take some tests overnight?

It's amazing how quickly they respond to a drip. When Dempsey had Giardia, he was near collapsed when we got him to the emergency vet & he was bleeding from his rear end. By the following morning, after being on a drip for about 6 hours, he was walking about (although he was pretty groggy) and just looked a bit sorry for himself!

Awww poor baby, shes in the best place thou.
She'll soon be home causing mayhem once again

Oh bless her..I hope she gets better soon and comes home ><

How is she?

she is home and well...back to her bouncy self! She is on special senstitive puppy food and has a syringe with medication buyt is eating well. Giving her lots of Kongs filled with ice.
Also lost her first 2 front teeth last night too..so its been very 'go go go' with her atm bless her. We are spending the day having lots of cuddles!

Glad to hear it. You had us worried for a whils ><

That's a relief!

Did the vet say what was wrong, or has it just been put down to enteritis?

they said it was a bug..just like what we get x

Very pleased to hear she is feeling better, sending a big hug anyway >< ><
