| Am worried about Lacy! Ok, I know I am a new mom and overly protective, but I am worried! Lacy has been extremely hyper and agitated for the last 4 hours. I picked her up several times and cuddled her, and always before, she just cuddled right in and snoozed. The last few hours, she is so restless, she cannot sit still. So I think maybe she needs some water or to go potty and I put her in her playpen, Then she HOWLS and runs around her playpen like crazy. Non stop. 4 hours. Every time I pick her up and hold her, she is extremely restless. She just started medication today for Giardia. Am wondering if the medication is affecting her. I am very stressed. |

| On the medication bottle, it says "Lacy" - Terrier Mix. One more vet that has never heard of a Biewer Terrier. |

| Hey, I googled panacur and the side effects are very limited. I would call a 24hr vet, has she calmed down?

| Could she just be getting used to you and her new home and showing her silliness or do you think she is in distress?

| I googled the side effects also, and they say there should be none. But she is still VERY agitated and i am worried sick. She has even started to cry. I will see if I can find a 24 hour vet open. |

| I hate you are going through this. Do you have an emergency vet close to you? Bless her heart, that's pitiful!

| She seems in distress to me. Am on hold with a 24 hour vet hospital right now. Ok, I am leaving right now to take her to the emergency hospital. I am so scared! |

| It's 2:30am and I just got home from the emergency hospital. Lacy's eyes were a little dilated, other than that, all her vital signs were good. The vet had no idea what the problem could be. He said side effects from Panacur are extremely rare, so he could not say if her agitation was caused by the Panacur or not. I will call her reg vet tomorrow and see if we can put her on something else. Lacy is still very agitated, going on NINE hours now. It is going to be a long night. As soon as I put her in the playpen, she howls. Ear splitting howls from a little 2 pound sweet little girl. When I was holding her, I could feel her stomach rumbling and heard a lot of noise. I told the vet and asked him to give her something to calm her stomach. He gave her $140.00 worth of medications to calm her stomach. Good grief! He said he could do X-rays to see if she might have a piece of chicken feet stuck in her insides (her breeder gave all her pups chicken feet and one died from a perforated intestine and another is still pretty sick) and he said it would cost between $650. to $812.00. I said I would wait until tomorrow to see how she was doing. So, a recap: 2 ½ hours at the hospital for a 15 minute exam, $140. for injections to calm her stomach, a bill of $245.00 plus another bill that will arrive in the mail as I got photographed by a speed camera. And Lacy is not much better than she was 5 hours ago. As I said, it is going to be a long night. |

| Well, I "thought" I was going to bed half an hour ago, put Lacy into her playpen with a clean UGO potty, whelping pad and clean blanket, came out to turn off the lights, went back in to see that she had pooped and walked through it. So because of her Giardia, I had to wash her feet and butt, clean the ugo pad, change the bedding and put down a clean whelping pad. And she is still screaming like a coyote. Wish I had asked the doc for some meds for my stress level. lol |
