[sadiesamie]

Ok today I was home all day with Samie and she slept most of the day. from around 11-4 she stayed up on the couch. Normally I am not home all day so I assume that she sleeps a lot. My other yorkie Sadie also was sleeping most of the day too but she did get up and sit in the same room i was in as they both normally do. but since samie was so tired and i was beginning to think that she wasn't feeling well.. I let her be and just kept checking on her.

As the day went on I could hear her tummy girgling a little. She is still having a bowel movement (2 times today) she seems to be straining a bit... but not straining and not having a bowel movement.

I know why she is probably not feeling well- changing her food Friday. i had to take her off of the pres diet she was on that contained all of that corn since it was making her scoot like mad. crying when she was scooting too. I hated to see her like that. but she did it only after she ate and going to the bathroom.

I tried to wean her off of the "bad" stuff but she was still scooting just not as bad. After talking to someone at the petstore she convinced me that Samie needed to come completely off of the food that contained corn. she gave me this powder to sprinkle on her food that would help her make the switch easier and faster. I know it sounds horrible because I know that you are supposed to gradually do the switch but if you could see Samie after she ate that horrible food... I couldn't stand to watch her anymore what it was doing for her so i did it. I took it away completely. NO more scooting... not Friday, Sat, Sun or today until just an hour ago.

I don't know what to do. She showed a little bit of excitement when my husband got home from work as she always does. she got up on to the couch and looked out the window and even barked at the kids playing outside.

but now she is back to her sitting with her head down. my husband got down and started petting her and she turned her head on him and looked sideways. He could hear her belly making noise too and he thinks (just as i do) that she is constipated and she does not feel well. the food transition was too fast for her. I called the vet and they don't have back her results yet from the urinalysis. Hopefully tomorrow I will know. Now i am so scared the vet is going to want to change her food again and all of this changing is going to really be hard on her. she still has an appetite for the canned food. but i won't give her too much. I have never felt so lost in the whole world. I have to go back to work tomorrow and i am stressing about leaving her all day alone. she has not eaten any canidae tonight.

do you think the food change is finally catching up with her? I feel awful and I don't want anyone to please think I am a horrible mommy. I am so so worried about her. I really don't know what else to do. I don't know if there is anything i can give her to calm her stomach. She was feeling so good these past couple days.
