We took her to the vet on Sunday and the vet took xrays and blood work. She also put her on sub fluids because she was very dehydrated and gave her two shots She was sent home with antibiotics and pepsid. We are waiting to hear the results of the blood work.
I'm sorry but I don't think turkey made Zoe sick - I am not a veterinarian - but she didn't show any signs/symptoms for two days and the vet put her on an antibiotic which is not usually prescribed for upset tummy from food. Could she have gotten into something outside maybe or could she just be sick? Jack caught a virus like bug last year and had diarrhea pretty bad, vomited once or twice and had a little runny nose - poor thing. My vet said they can get sick just like we do. He gave him an antibiotic and an anti-diarrheal and he was fine within a day.
