Again, she's playful and active, no symptoms (no blood, no pain or shaking, no vomit, eating and drinking regularly) whatsoever except the diarrhea, which is why I thought it was strange. She has never been dehydrated, gums are always pink. I just give a couple of EXTRA dropperfuls of water or so if I've noticed she hasn't been to her water bowl in awhile.
Thanks again for the well wishes and advice! |
Pink gums don't indicate dehydration or hydration, but indicate low blood pressure, anemia, internal bleeding, shock and other serious illness. Dry, sticky gums are a sign of dehydration. Another test is grasping a the nape of the neck and if it sticks together rush to the hospital.
