If she's looking for food...she must be feeling better. So that's a good sign. |
Thank you so much for this information. I am new to this, and she has never been ill. Suzi up and her behavior is good. She got very excited when my son came out of his room , so i am praying the worst is over. She did drink a god amount of water 5 min ago. I hope she will be able to keep it down.
Do you believe it is still necessary to take her in? I thought if the vet took her temp. it would tell if she had a fever or not. A bland diet for a pup is what? I know for humans it is the BRAT diet. How about a pup ? my father told me the same thing about IV fluids .
