Lily

[horsnaround]

Tonight she is acting a little funny had a loose stool for her. Not real loose she is panting now and then. What could I give her to settle her tummy. Not thinking I need to rush to the vet yet. She rest well for a while and then is up moving around. Wants to be held. Please any help would be appreciated

[Lil Sis]

Oh no! It sounds like she is in pain...is it possible she got into anything she shouldn't have? If you press on her tummy how does she react? Is she drinking water? Will she eat some pumpkin to settle her tummy!

I would think the answers will help you decided about taking her to the vet. I never know what to do...it is so difficult when you don't know and are trying to know what to do. Good luck

I can press all over her tummy and it is loose and she doesn't act like she is any pain. Just not herself. The panting is not very often. I have not seen her drink since she started acting this way. She is just off. Her routine today is the same as every other. No place new to pick anything up

[Lil Sis]

I hope she feels better fast. Maybe someone with more knowledge will post

...but to me it sound like a tummy ache. I know my vet has told me I could give
Human over the counter meds to settle tummies. I guess you can google dosages.
Of course you know to keep and eye on her...you will know if she needs to be taken to vet. Good luck and I hope you get some rest tonight

I don't know any advice, but will keep sweet Lily in my prayers. Hopefully just an upset tummy.

I have been looking to see what I can give her. I have read baby aspirin can be given? I will call the vet if need be. But so far she is just acting strange. She rest for a good while and then very restless. Not much sleep tonight till I know she is okay. I hate this

[Ellie May]

Panting and loose stool?
Nauseated or in pain..

Could go to the er and do blood and xrays. Seems a bit premature though. As long as she isn't getting worse and couldn't have gotten into anything toxic...

No aspirin.
Gums pink and wet?
Capillary refill time normal?
Respiration and pulse normalL
Temp normal?

The loose stool would not concern me. The panting is a bit harder to figure out.

[horsnaround]

Nose is cold and wet. Gums look good She is just very very restless.
She will be going to the vet first thing in the morning for sure. Just don't know if I need to take her in now. She has not panted now for awhile 1 hour This sucks

[horsnaround]

Just took her temp 100

[CouversMom]

Poor girl, she must have a tummy ache or something. I would take her tomorrow if she continues...

[horsnaround]

Yes for sure she is resting now. Her and I will be sleeping in the living room. And let everyone else have the bed. It's usually three dogs dh and I. This way she is right next to me and we don't have to worry about the others. It is so strange Just wish they could talk

[Ellie May]

Sounds like she wil be just fine for the night if the panting stopped.

[Connie]

Yes...if only they could talk. I'll say a prayer for Lily. I hope she feels better by morning!

[horsnaround]

Well she has not panted any more but still very restless. We will be calling vet in the am. Just for piece of mind. We have been up about every hour. No more throwing up just uncomfortable. .

Is her tummy looking bloated at all? Mine do this on occassion. It's usually gas but I am always worried that it could be a blockage, or something large trying to make it's way through their gut. I try to hold mine in an upright position... if it's gas it can pass easier this way (it will help them to burp being upright). Gas can be painful. Praying for Lily...
