What's w/ Dudley Doo??? Hope someone can give me some advice.. Sat morning he woke up he refused to eat (at first) walking around the house like he was in pain. His stomach was "growling", his poo was normal and he never got sick and actually ended up eating...:cool: Sunday-ok:p Monday-same as Saturday morning. Today same tas yesterrday except he hasn't eaten anything yet...Hss stomach is really growling, he can't seem to get comfotable, i.e,walking around??? What's w/ my BUB? We are flying out of town Thursday morning:( He has not gotten sick at all, I'm really not sure if it's "just a bug"??? |
Wanted to add.... He's been "bowing", where his rear is in the air, going down on his front legs, also, "yawning" alot....:( |
Bowing sometimes means they want to play?? Does not sound like that is what he is doing. As for the yawning, I do know they will do that when they are stressed. Something about it helps to calm the system down. I would call the vet and ask. You certainly don't want to wait and then have a sick pupster on Thursday. Good luck! |
Since this has been ongoing and also since a holiday is coming up its best to get him checked by a vet right away. If nothing else it will ease your mind |
I would def. get him checked out since youre leaving. It sounds like an upset tummy to me. Has he been eating the same food for a while or is it new? Ive heard of giving a little pepcid for upset tummies but i have never tried it. Cant hurt to check with the vet. |
It does sound like he is coming down with a tummy issue. He probably needs to go to the vet today~especially since you are leaving town on Thursday AND the holiday coming up on Sunday as well. Better to be safe. :) |
I'd get him to the vets ASAP. With pancreatitis being prevalent in this breed, you need to have this ruled out. |

Oh no :(Hubby just called to say he still hasn't eaten his breakfast, and he had the "runs" in the house, OUTTA here, going to vet...Be back soon |
Sending my prayers with you... |
Hoping Dudley is okay. Will check back later for your post-vet update. |
I forgot to mention earlier, we noticed some pollyfilling in the living room from one of his toys,:confused: thought maybe could have swallowed some, that toy was already pitched in the trash last night;) I just got back from ER vet went there instead because they are closer than his regular vet.. I told them everything and they took x-rays, they showed allot of gas inside and no real blockage, the pockets of gas they thought could also be some of the polly filling because its so fine. Took him home gave him some pepcid, he ate a little bit of tuna, (just enough to get him to take it) we’ll see what tonight brings when I get home... Vet mentioned she wanted me to give him (don't remember RX name of can food) but i refused b/c i don't want to switch his diet up, especially since we’re going out of town. He was one to never do well with food change, so I chose to leave well enough alone, I might add some tuna to his food later and see how he dose later. |
Just seeing that he started with diarrhea and you took him in to the vet. I am so glad that all went well! Hope he is feeling chipper soon! :) |
Oh my! Hope he passes everything... She probably wanted him on W/D, to increase the fiber in his diet to help get things moving along. Maybe call and ask if there's anything you could add to his regular diet that would help, if you're not opposed to this idea.... that way you wouldn't be changing out his entire diet... If you call... ask about using Mylecon (simethicone) drops for gas... in case he gets too uncomfortable. I'll keep him in my prayers for a speedy recovery..., and have a nice trip! |
Yes, that is the food W/D, she did mention adding pumpkin to his regular diet, so I'll be stopping for it. One thing she said would be ok, that (from reading on YT) is not ok, is the pumpkin pie filling, I asked about organic and she said I wouldn't be able to find it and to use pie filling for now....We'll see what i find, didn't think teh spices woudl settle well with his ALREADY upset system, I'll ask about those drops, THANKS KJC |
Organic pumpkin is the best, then canned pumpkin. It may be right next to the pumpkin pie filling in your grocery. (Libby's makes both) The pumpkin pie filling contains added sugar and spices, which is why members don't like using it. Organic can be obtained at health food stores and online which won't be a help to you right now. I don't have a heath food store near by, so I always just use the Libby's. You're welcome... I so hope he's better by the time you have to leave! |
Thanks bunches all....I got home from the gym and to my surprise my hubby told me not only was his breakfast gone when he got in, he gave him his normal dinner dose, he gobbled that right up too:p His poop is okay and our household seems to be back to normal.:D Tomorrow morning will be the tale tail sign:rolleyes: Forgot to say, went by health food store and they were out of pumpkin....I have it on order to have on hand :-) |
Glad to hear that Dudley ate his meals! The symptoms you described in your first couple of posts are exactly what Max had when he suffered a very bad case of gas & constipation. It lasted 24 hours and no diarrhea. I hope Dudley continues to do well and that he is on the mend now. |
And good poops too -- excellent! :thumbup::thumbup: |
