Apso: Shakes non stop... and dark tarry stool

[smiffy]

no dont force feed her. when my lot feel unwell they get scrambled eggs or brown rice. try to tempt her with little and often and make sure she keeps up her fluids.

What would i do without internet... thanks all for your support.

Yes... I did give her some scrambled egg and rice... she also had some meat.
Drinking loads of water.

Anyways I'm not good (or creative enough) at making pages or anything... This lil scrap of an album has my doggies pictures too:

sod the dog your the cute one :lol:

have you tried her on little bits of grilled chicken? just one tiny little cut up piece a day may help encourage her to nibble.

Hey...the dogs are cute, too!

Hey Rita n smiffy...

The doctor came today and took temperature.
She is normal... yesterday had a slight fever.

Anyways today i had to do something... so bought a syringe and forced a bowl or so of "energy drink + milk"

Amazingly she didn't resist... she drank the whole lot :).
Doctor has prescribed some tonic for her... and right now she looks quite fine.

Had some pieces of grilled chicken too (thanks smiffy)

Looks a lot better... not trembling or shaking :)

But not so good news for my fren... her dog is 11 years of age, and apparently she has something wrong with her "uterus"... it's bleeding with yellow puss... kind of septic :shock:

The VET has given pain killer and they don't want to operate... she is a small breed "Pomeranian". (Mercy killing is the only option...)

I was scared... what could be the reason ? infection ?

[smiffy]

your friends dog has pyometra. this is another very good reason why spay is such a good idea. i'm sorry for your friends girly, the only real way to deal with this is a spay depending on how far gone the infection is but given the dogs age i would think the surgeon would be reluctant.

i had an old girly staying with me as she was so old no-one wanted to adopt her. she had loads of medical problems and it got to the stage it was kinder to pts but before we did we took her to her favourite place.

she loved a little harbour we visit and she liked to sit on the bench and just watch the boats so thats what we did, then we got chips for us and an extra large sausage for her :lol:

it was a lovely day and left us with a very fond memory of her. we now have a 'time capsule' for her buried under a garden slab and a statue thats about her size (patterdale terrier)

Glad Softy is gaining on the battle. Sounds like she will be ok.

Smiffy's story made me all weepy.

Sorry for your friend and her ill dog. Hugs to them.

[gsoul2soul]

Well softy started eating a lil... she has started to play a lil.

I'm so much relieved and relaxed now... thanks a million again.

Love and hugs to you all dog lovers...
