Cry Sick from tuna? Please help.

Hi everyone,

This is my first post to yorkietalk. Thank you to everyone for being so helpful. I'm on here everyday looking for advice.

Anyway, Roxy is 8 lbs and 5 years old (although I just got her 2 months ago). She's on Wellness super5 mix for small breeds and was doing fine with it for awhile, but recently stopped eating it. I mixed in a little rinsed-off canned tuna two nights in a row in order to get her to eat. It worked, but now she's really sick.

It started with her urinating every couple of hours in the house. I thought maybe she had a UTI, but then the next day we found that she had diarrhea in the house as well. I fed her cooked chicken and rice, as well as canned pumpkin. She pooped in the house again today but this time it was firmer. So it seems like the diarrhea is going away.

However, she's still acting very strange. She's been going in her crate voluntarily for the first time ever. It has just been laying here for months without any use and now shes going in there to lay down. It almost seems like she's hiding or seeking shelter. I've also found her trying to sneak into the closet. She's very restless and will not stay in the same place for more than a few minutes. She keeps pacing around the apartment.

Also, when I take her outside she'll get excited when we first leave the door. Then when we're actually out there she doesn't want to walk. I end up carrying her back inside.

Finally, she seems like she wants to play. She'll bring me her toys, even ones that I haven't seen her play with in months. But once I try to play back she seems uninterested and walks away.

I would appreciate any advice or insight into any of these symptoms. The vet is closed today but I'm debating whether or not to take her there tomorrow. Thank you for your help!
