Thank you all for your concern and words of comfort. I am happy it is morning and I can keep an eye on her. I think nights and weekends are the worse when you have a sick one. She made a good poop this morning and licked up 2" of nutrical. Then she goes right back to bed. She has chosen our laundry basket to sleep in. I close the door and she seems to feel safest there. She shivers if she is not in there or me holding her. Zoe is my most dominant dog. Callie (I changed her name from Alley Cat) growls at her, which has made her uneasy. I am keeping her harnessed and put a leash when we are walking out back. She is doing the 'stare', which is not allowed - so I am working with her on that and trying to show her extra love.
My mother and I agonize for the poor woman who lost her (that's how we imagine it). I have looked through all the local missing pets things I can find. I am not sure how to find her. It has been about a year, but Callie is at least 6 years old, not fixed, and I don't think she has ever had pups. That makes me think she was loved and cared for. I know she was found in East Plano. I believe she is part Yorkie and maybe part toy fox terrier. She is white with black spots. Her hair shows the signs of malnurishment, so I am not sure how it should look. I shaved her body off short so I could check her out. Her ears are black and short haired.
I am still worried that she is bloated, is there something I can do for that?
I definitely WILL take her to the vet this afternoon or in the morning if she does not improve today. My husband is imagining our dogs are getting disease from her. He keeps making me 'come check Quattro!' I think all mine are fine. But it is an additional worry. |
