Sick pup :(
Update: The vet wasn't real worried, but they did prescribe us a stool harder med, which smells like black liquorish.
She perked up a alot in the evening, she even ate some rice and a milk bone. Most of my anxiety about it was the possible bloody stool, because i've always heard that if there blood you should get it checked out. Cause if it was just normal diarrhea i woulda just been like 'wow she really isn't feeling good'. I still think it mighta been blood but if the vet isn't overly concerned it prob isn't too bad. We will also be keeping a eye on her to see if it happens again and if it does we'll prob actually take her in
TL;DR - My dog is sick, its making my anxiety go up, so I might take longer then expected for my art trades
My dog has had random bouts of not feeling good all year so far, and this current one has turned into the worst so far.
Normally she just dry heaves or spits up and doesn't eat for a few days, but this time add possibly bloody diarrhea :/
The first time this year she was sick, she acted like she had acid problems, and didn't feel good, but after that she refused to eat dry food for 3ish weeks. We took her in but the vet was stumped as to her not eating, she tested heavily for vally fever cause it was the only thing that sorta fit, but it came back negative, and later she started eating hard food again.
Then almost exactly a month ago she dry heaved, wouldn't eat anything but rice for acouple days.
But now she was the same as last time, but today she's been either just sitting next to me shivering/shaking, or hiding under my bed. She wouldn't even eat rice & as I said she might have had bloody diarrhea :(
Whether or not they're all related idk
I don't know whats going on, and its just making my anxiety go nuts and ugh.
The only things that have changed is, her food a couple times this year because her old food brand added eggs to their food and so we had to test that to see if she was allergic(which she was, but not nearly as much as chicken), so then we had to try the current one shes on which is pretty much the same as her old one but with sweet potatoes. But she's been on that for 3ish weeks I'd say, so I mean I guess it's possible but I doubt its her food. We also started giving her a glucose suppliment per our vets suggestion because her loose knee cap gave her early arthritis.
I wouldn't think that could cause it, but I really don't know(plus that'd only be for this time cause she just started it a week or two ago).
I think we'll prob end up taking her in, my step mom was going to call the vet and see if they think she should come in, which they prob will want her too.
SO since my dog is super miserable today, and might be for awhile(mattering on if she feels better by herself or what the vet thinks it is ect.). I probably won't be working on art trades for abit, cause this is making my anxiety go up, and i'm just shakey and bleh.
I'm trying to calm myself down, but it doesn't always work constantly .
