When I came home for lunch today at 11:30, Hobbs was shaking and his tummy was really firm. He had not taken a poop all day so I thought he might be constipated. I figured I would see how he was doing when I came home at 5 and then decide whether to take him to the vet or not. Well, when I got home at 5, he was the same.....shaking and tummy was firm but at this time whenever I picked him up, he would wimper a little very faintly in my ear. He still hadn't taken a poop and he usually poops first thing in the morning and again when I get home from work. I decided to take him to the vet. I told her he hadn't pooped all day, she checked his temp which was normal, she stuck her finger up there and said his stool was definately firm. Like me, she figured he was probably constipated. He pooped at the vet's office, but just a tiny bit. His tummy was a little less firm after he pooped a little, but not much. The vet gave him a shot of stool softener and an asprin and told me to call her in the morning and let her know how he was doing. When I brought Hobbs home, he ate and drank water and peed. It's been 2.5 hours since the vet visit and he still hasn't pooped again. He's being lethargic, when I pick him up he shakes and whines a little like it hurts, and his tummy is still firm. What in the world could be wrong with him?! Could he still be constipated?? I am SOOOOOOOOO worried about him!!!!!!!!! I would be absolutely DEVASTATED if something happened to my boy.
We spilled a few tiny pieces of onion on the floor last night when we were cooking dinner and thought he didn't get any, but what if he did?! If he did, it was only a tiny piece or two, but what do onions do to dogs?
What could be wrong with him? I'm so worried and upset.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
