| is she sick? snickers is having loose stool a little watery last night and this morning and i remember last night she was dryheaving a bit but she isnt acting lathargic or anything and we recently changed her food from ekanuba to nutro (she was scratching alot on the ekanuba) we tried to do it gradually but she wouldnt eat the ekanuba only the nutro so i ended up just giving her that today she isnt eating well at all so.... should i wait it out a bit? is it a reaction to changing foods? or should i be worried she is sick? |

| It could be a change of food. Try adding a little cottage cheese or yogurt to her food. If mine have upset tummies for more that 24 hrs., I'm off to the vet. |

| I think a call into the vet would be a good idea. They may want you to come in. Or they may just have some things for you to try at home first. Good luck!

| thanks for the responses and sorry for the late update but ALL the kids in my house were sick all week including the puppy so its been really busy at my house... i took her to the vet as she was having diarrhea and wasnt eating or drinking well and her nose wasnt wet and her mouth seemed a bit dry... it was the change in food (in another thread i had mentioned she was allergic to her other food and i had mixed in nutro while trying to change it but she would only eat the nutro) and it upset her tummy... she was dehydrated they gave her fluids thru an injection and some meds to calm her belly and altho she is still having diarrhea its a little tiny bit better and she is eating and drinking again thanks for the advice to those who responded ~ she is being her playful self tonite! |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Glad to hear she's feeling better. I am trying to switch my 2's food again. Last time 2 times I tried Cali got a bad case of diahrrea not sure if it was the food but stopped it and teh second time my pom got diahrrea. Both times it was 2 different foods. It's so hard to tell what's upsetting them.
