Need some Help please

3 Days ago i rehomed this lovely staffy, now she started been sick which i put down to food change since leaving the rehoming centre, Iv wormed her with Tablets but she started to fall asleep quite oddly while partly standing , any help would be apprciated, im taking her the vets first thing in morning. [url][/url]

she is still really alert and gets up and down no problem but is not eating, btw she would stand like this for 5min a time

she keeps stretching her back legs before going like this

ruby falls asleep like that regularly she slides down the wall
you can see her eyes closing n then she leans against wall
and slides slowly to the floor some times nodding n waking herself up
but best to check with vet as you just got her.

Poor girl. Sorry, I don't know what to suggest except to try and get her to drink to keep her hydrated and take her to the Vets in the morning. She is obviously in discomfort to be standing like that, I know dogs will usually arch their backs with abdominal pain.

Does your Vet have a 24 hour option, if you are really worried you could ring for advice.

Let us know how you get on.

no idea but let us know what the vet says. poor thing hasnt a good start really but i am sure you will make sure she has it happy and good from now on

See if you can take a video that the ver will be able to watch. This could help him diagnose if there is a problem.

Good luck at the vets, you could try her on something bland like cooked chicken and rice. Let us know how you get on Xx

The not eating could be stress caused by the rehoming. Give her time, & I'm sure she'll settle.

I would be a little concerned about the falling asleep - I take it the rescue people didn't mention this to you?

It could also be down to stress, of course. Every animal reacts differently to stress, and it could be that her brain is telling her to blank it out for a while. The vets should be able to put your mind at rest, though.

she has an appointment at 13:40 , on her walks she seem alert and active but will get her checked over anyhow as she has not done it this morning so far.

Good luck and please let us know how it turns out.

All is well she has irritable bowels with coming off the dogs homes food and coming onto pets at home food, but going to put her on burns food try her on that, glad shes ok, got starve her for 24hr and give her tablets when we give her food

Thats good news, hope she will be feeling a lot better soon and able to enjoy her new life with you.

Ah, great! So glad she's ok.

Worry over. Thats great news Xx
