Slow but sure....
this morning......
She was 'off' all day yesterday, she didn't eat and more worryingly she wouldn't drink either - but she didn't seem to be in pain and there didn't seem to be any stomach distention or bad doggie breath that you would associate with a poorly dog - so we left her to stay quiet and sleep yesterday.
But, this morning she was no better, so DH took her to the emergency vet - she is only 15 months old and she finished her 2nd 'season' 3 weeks ago, so the vet thinks she maybe experiencing the start of a 'phantom' pregnancy, so he has given her a huge dose of IV antibiotic's and another injection of vitamins and something to help her get her appitite back, and if there is no change she has to go back again tomorrow.
I couldn't eat this morning because I was so worried, but my DH is the opposite so I cooked him his bacon and egg's when he got back from the vet's and Chloe (my dog) has eaten some of the bacon dipped in the yolk of an egg and has helped him drink his mug of tea......thank goodness.
So I do hope she is on the mend - I adore her and would be devastated if anything should happen to her.
Sorry for going on about this, but I just had to talk about it as I was so frightened for her.
Thanks for listening to me my lovely SW friends. X
