 Brandi was at the vet today...
Brandi wasn't acting just right this morning........so I left my son a note to call me at work as soon as he got up.......with instructions how to feed her........he called me and said she was acting fine......so I said he should feed her......
About 2 hours later when he got home from the gym he called and said she had diarreah and when he went to clean it up (off my carpet of course) there was a lot of blood........(she hadn't eaten anything at all)
I came home and took her to the vet......he examined her......she wasn't dehydrated........she had no temperature.....he said he was going to give her a shot and some antibiotics.......(by the way this isn't my regular vet it was his associate and I was really apprehensive but I figured he must know better than me).....he told me not to feed her anything for 24 hours.......and tomorrow start her on chicken soup with rice or noodles.......but make sure she has clean fresh water about a half a cup 4 times a day........
The Title of this posting should be "Dog is GREAT owner needs a doctor now"......I've had dogs my whole life........and I had two kids.......I have NEVER been this neurotic......the shot is making her act sooooooo weird.......she sleeps then she gets up and starts rubbing all over everything......I gave her some water from a dropper so she didn't have to get up.......
I left the vet a stool sample which I will get the results of tomorrow.......(which can't come soon enough) Brandi doesn't really go outside much......and when she does I normally carry her.......so I can't imagine she caught anything.......the house is sooooooooo doggie proof I'm really not even thinking she got into anything she shouldn't have........I don't know what to think.......
the only concern I have is we've had a "bug" problem here due to a leak in my landlady's apartment in TWO bathrooms......I've had bugs big enough to carry Brandi away (almost) I'm afraid my landlady sprayed and maybe the bugs are eating the poison and then Brandi may be eating the bugs......but there's really no way of me knowing.........I know she's going to outlive me because the stress is gonna kill me.......anyone have any thoughts
Sorry this was so long but I'm really a wreck...... |
