Fletch sick again this morning! Fletch had a mild bout of HGE in late July (right before a mini 3 day trip we took) but hes been fine since. Yesterday he did not eat ... but hes a very sensitive dog and with the weather this week, hes probably very nervous and flustered. Hurricane Monday, severe thunderstorms last night, just almost constant wind & rain since Sunday night. (Luckily my other boy could care less, I don't know if I could handle 2 nervous nellys)
Anyways, this morning he couldn't hold his poop in to make it outside, but it was solid and nothing to be concerned about, except that it was so urgent. So I let him out and he dry heaved and then squatted again and had a tiny bit of bloody diarrhea again. Again wouldn't eat this morning. I found the leftover meds from July and gave him a doggy kaopectate and some Rx food, which he would not eat.
The kicker is... we are going on an 8 day vacation on saturday!!!!! Does he, like KNOW we are going away or something???? WTH!!!!! Hubby is home today and I told him to just take him to the vet if he does not eat or has anymore bloody diarrhea. Rather him go today and have 3 days left with us (on meds) before we leave, then wait it out until tomorrow and only have 2 days or less with us. I'm going to be sooo worried on our trip AGAIN!!!!!
Hubby texted me and said he did eat his food after I left for work this morning, so thats good!
UUUGGGHHH say a prayer for Fletch please!!!!
