| Back from the vet with Uni... Well, Uni is not feeling well. She has not eaten since Sunday dinner (a very BIG dinner). So monday morning i was not surprised she did not want to eat. Then came around 5pm and still didn't eat. Hardly any water either. Then the yellow bile. She had pooped 2x already that day, first BM normal, at normal time. 2nd one way before schedule and was very soft. then when I got home she had diahreah very loose. I gave her one dose of diarsynal paste which usually does wonders. Didn't eat dinner either. Forced down some water for her, she was playing still but not her usual spunky self. During the night she got up 3x to diahreah. Bf woke up early this morning and said the diahreah had some blood in it. So I got up washed my face and off to the vet. My usual place is just a humane society, so they sent me to the full service hospital down the street. They recommend a blood panel to test for pancreatitis and poop test to test for parasites. Dr said he could do an xray to rule out an obstruction, but said not necessary as he didn't feel there was pain when he felt around her intestines/tummy area. I know she didn't eat anything she wasn't supposed to, she's super good with that. Since Uni would need blood test before I get her spayed, i decided to do the blood panel and poop test. However, there was not enough poop (since she had not been eating) so next time she goes I have to scoop it up and bring it back to them. Test results can come in as early as tomorrow morning, lastest by Thurs. I'm really hoping she doesn't have pancreatitis. Last time she got diahreah was last year, and I know what happened, ate a curry noodle that fell on the floor. That was my fault. Then when we got back to the shop, the parking lot was full (next door having a party). There was a potential client there talking with bf about maybe ordering a few costumes from me, so I am talking to him, and half telling bf what the vet says. After about 2 mins I ask him where is Uni. Bf says maybe she went to the back to lay down. He went to look and she wasn't there! I went outside and there are 3 ladies on the grass where Uni goes pee and she was there! She let herself out, cross the parking lot (busy remember!) bc she needed to poop again! She could have gotten hit by a car, or stolen! My fault again! Thank goodness she didn't get hit or stolen. I don't know why she went outside bc her pad in here is clean! Now she is just laying down next to me and I know she is just miserable. I gave her her medication and she drank some water on her own Still had to force feed her some Hill's a/d that they gave me, but literally only about a teaspoon. Sorry so long, I'm so sad, I hope test results come back good. Please keep Uni in your thoughts and send us some good vibes. Thanks, love you guys.

| so sorry what a rough day I would not force feed as she needs to rest her tummy. Dogs can go 5-7 days with no food when older and not a concern of hypoglycemia. Water is most important to stay hydrated and diarrhea is much more dehydrating than vomitting. She will tell you when she is hungry again as dex will start barking at me when he wants food after I rest his tummy so I never force him to eat if he gets an upset tummy I just let him rest and make sure he gets water. Hang in there and hopefully just an upset tummy |

| Oh I am so sorry that Uni is feeling bad. I hope the blood work comes back ok. Maybe just a tummy bug. Sending prayers for her to be better and it is nothing serious.

| Something similar happened to Louis over the weekend. He had diarrhea and vomiting. He wouldn't eat and you could tell he was in pain. I took him to the vet yesterday and he lost a pound from being sick. They treated him as though he had pancreatitis. He got a shot and medicine for vomiting and diarrhea. He is 100% better today. Hopefully everything will be fine with Uni. I know how scary it is when they are sick. Does the medicine seem to be working at all?

| One thing I forgot to add. The vet had me give Louis 1 tbs of rice and boiled chicken a few hours after I gave him his medicine. He wouldn't eat his food, but he did eat the chicken and rice! Today he is eating his dog food.
