Thanks for all the support. I am trying hard not to panic. Pixie slept well last night. I did give her the tramadol though. First thing this morning she wanted to be on the other side of the gate. I don't think she is afraid of the gate as she sleeps right up against it on both sides. The vet did a very thorough manual exam and full body Xrays and an ultrasound. She has her yearly blood work last month and all was good. Her Xrays showed no back/spine issues, no stones, FB etc. She had a lot of gas/air in her tummy but he said since she has been panting that could be why. Her bladder looked small (normal) lungs, heart etc normal. The only thing that showed up was a slight rt hip degeneration. She is eating normally and pooping normally. But not as enthusiastic about eating and treats as usual. Yesterday and today I saw her bite at her but and then scratch her belly but that isn't really that unusual. I left early to do my volunteer day at the shelter and I came back early to check on her. I left the gate open and put another little animal ex pen up so she could stay where she has been wanting to but not go into the rest of the house. My husband said she was acting pretty normal and spent some time on both sides of the gate. Since I have been home she has been on the other side of the gate and not coming back by me and the rest of the dogs. I don't have a clue what is going on. I am thinking of getting them some type of special chew to see if that distracts her. I have a couple with sensitive tummies so any suggestions on what type of chews may be good? Thanks
