on a worried note
Mar. 23rd, 2009 11:50 amsomething is wrong with lucky. we think she either ate a funky thing or got a bruise that is making her sore and achey from some rowdiness in the car.
warning signs to get vet bound are not eating, drinking, not going to the bathroom
so far she is still eating, wagging her tail, drinking water, enjoying the park and doing all of her business.
that said she is also lethargic, and having a hard time with stairs and jumping up on the couch / bed.
so we're worried as all hell, keeping a close eye on her and watching for the warning signs. we're rubbed her down looking for a negative reaction or hurty spots and found none - though her tough dog status would likely keep her from reacting unless there was an open wound.
we're also giving her chicken and rice to eat starting with dinner today since if she did eat something 'wrong' that will help it pass faster and be easier on her system.
our pet guy recently lost a dog that ate the wrong thing, got a blockage and died when it's internal piping hemorraged and its bowels were essentially leaking into its body. this of course is the nightmare haunting us while she is not feeling well. but we know the warning signs for blockage and are on the same page for what we do immediately if x, y or z happens.
worried. worried. worried.
