I really, REALLY need to stop all this worrying, because pretty soon I'm gonna have ulcers!!!
The past two weeks have been horrific, because our Mister Malone was eating rocks, in & out of the vets, and threatened to have surgery. We finally got past that, and things were looking up. But now, I'm worried all over again. This whole evening, he acted so down, and lazy, and just before bed he had diaherria again. No tail wagging, no eating slippers or socks, no chasing the cat, just lots of sleeping and lots of cuddling. Is this something that I should rush him off to the vet for (again!)and pay weekend emergency fees, or should I put it off 'til Monday? What if it's serious, and he just gets worse?? My hubby chalks it up to my being a female (I say "no fair!") but sometimes I just worry so much, especially on nights like tonight. I can't even sleep!!! Every little noise he makes in his sleep, I'm straining to listen for, just in case he's getting sick or something.
Two more things: Night before last, Malone was kind of coughing, and ran to drink some water. It was really strange, so I looked around to see if he had gotten into something he wasn't supposed to, and found that my husband's deoderant had kind of crumbled, and there were small pieces of it on the floor. Could he have eaten these pieces and this is what is causing diaherria? Or could it be this: We were feeding him a mix of puppy foods, 3/4 large breed and 1/4 regular. At lunch, I ran out of the big breed and so just fed him all regular. Even though it had been in his diet, could it have been that drastic of a change to upset his stomach???
Thanks for letting me get this off my chest, before the gray hairs REALLY start to pop out. Any advice would be appreciated!! Thanks!!!!
