Poorly

Darcy had a bit of a runny poo on Wednesday, was fine Thursday but not eating so I took her the vet who took her temp, checked front & back bums   ears, eyes, heart, everything fine, but last night & this morning the diarrhoea has started again all she's eaten is rice & chicken, drinking fine and acting normal' I'm panicking because I'm going on hols early hours Monday, any advice?

Have you starved her yet?

Not had anything today janey, how long shall I starve her for

They tend to say 24 hours, but you just need to make sure she doesn't get de-hydrated Xx

Thanks janey Im worried sick

Chicken?

You'd be surprised how many dogs are chicken intolerant.

I would stick to starving until tomorrow, then give some scrambly eggs

Funny you should mention that caryll because my mums just said is it since she's had chicken which she doesn't usually have.

Aw Hayley, hope Darcy gets well soon.

Vinnie cant have chicken Hayley, I would echo the rest and starve her til tomorrow hugs for you and Darcy x:(hug): 

Aww poor darcy, hope the starving works xxx

Awww Darcy, I hope she gets well soon, hugs from Rocky and I!

I feel such a meanie, I haven't eaten in front of her, because her tummy is rumbling

Awww she will live hun Xx

Starving for 24 hours sounds awful, but often works wonders with upset tummies. Then, as Hayley suggests, some nice scrambly eggies (2 max., no butter no milk)

After that, a chicken and rice meal is normally recommended, but if you suspect that Darcy may be chicken intolerant, and here I'm stuck! white fish and rice?

Has anyone any other non-chicken ideas?

Thanks guys, the poopies have slowed down now, it's bright yellow:( there is some blood in it, (bright red) am I right in thinking it's because of the poops and nothing more sinister? I think if she's still unwell tomorrow my vets is open 12-2 so I'll try get her I again

Possibly knows your going on your hols and is making you feel bad for leaving ..

Hope she's ok x

Glad the runnies have slowed down in frequency, but I'm sorry to say Hayley that bright yellow (bile?) and especially blood in it would worry me a bit. It could just be that her guts are rubbing together due to the unaccustomed activity and thus causing a little bleed, but tbh unless there is a great improvement by tomorrow I'd just pop her along to the vets, if only to put your mind at rest. Is Darcy OK in herself apart from the poos?

They do pick their moments don't they. Please try not to worry  

Thanks Lynda, yes they do pick their times she bouncing round as normal, playing ball in the garden with hubby.

That's good to hear Hayley.

Do let us know how she is tomorrow - sending good vibes ~~~~~~

She must feel OK in herself then, hopefully she'll be back to normal tomorrow  

Awww I do hope she is okay Which I am sure she is, let us know how you get if you can

How is Darcy getting along today Hayley?

She's just had scrambly eggs (no milk) wish me luck. Hopefully it stays in xxx

Fingers and paws crossed xxx

So far so good

That's great Hope she's okay for the rest of the day!

Hope Darcy's feeling better today

Glad Darcy is better today Hayley xx

Pleased to hear it Xx

She's been fine thank god

Oh that's fantastic news!

Now go off and enjoy your hols with an easy mind!

Thanks everyone I've kept a close eye on her today and no poopies and she's had scambly egg and kept it in so = happy me

Thanks saz me too, I'm feeling crappy about leaving her anyway but I couldn't leave her sick, a least she's home with Andrew for a week
