Kiki's not feeling well. :(

[Kfamr]

When I got home from work today Kiara ran to me and jumped on me with her tail down like she was scared. She does this whenever she doesn't feel good or gets really scared/upset over something.

Well, she hasn't lifted her tail all day. I'm beginning to think she's constipated or something. She did attempt to go, but all that came out was tiny and runny. I thought maybe it could be her tail like last time but she doesn't seem to have any problems with it specifically.
Sorry for so much info but do any of you know what I could do?
She doesn't seem like she's in pain (I was feeling around and she didn't seem upset by it.) so it's not an emergency to go to the vets right now (they're closed anyhow.) But, if she doesn't go poo or start acting her normal self when I get home tomorrow i'm going to call the vets.


Send some well wishes that everything comes out alright for lil Ki.

Sounds like maybe a little stomach upset. How does her nose feel? It seems like when casey has an upset tummy her nose is extra cold and her eyes get bloodshot (when I look at the white part)

Poor Kiara Sorry you aren't feeling well sweetie!

[elizabethann]

Sounds like she's constipated. Perhaps she ate something and it's just not coming out. Happens to Fenway alot. If she doesn't poop by tomorrow morning, your idea of bringing her to the vets is a good one. I'll be thinking of her and sending good thoughts her way.

Poop Kiara, poop!



P.S. Can you try taking her for a long long walk? Perhpas with a little exercise, she'll want to poop. Just a thought. Good luck.

Poor Ki I hope its nothing to serious.

Awww poor baby! She very well could be conspitated. Try giving her a little pumpkin. Here is some info on conspitation and pumpkin. Feel better soon Ki!

Hmm.. Her stools aren't hard at all, VERY runny... so maybe it isn't constipation? Just an upset tummy?

[Jadapit]

Maybe so? Dont you wish you were a vet at times like this? Keep us posted on her Kay....

[caseysmom]

I am actually thinking it sounds like diarreah. I would giver her chicken and rice if anything.

The only thing I would worry about is than she ingested something, she is so tennis ball crazy I would just hope she didn't chew one up.

[Kfamr]

Ugh, I wish she'd just poop and get it over with!!! I just sat outside with her repeating "Go Potty" over and over. She pee'd once then squatted and stared at me quite a few times. (She's learned to fool me by pretending to go pee just so she can go back inside the pool area and swim. )
My dad told me she didn't poop when I was at work either. I don't think she would eat a tennis ball. There isn't any evidence that she did. She's not much of a chewer anyhow.

[caseysmom]

Well I would watch her tonight, I am sure she will be fine.

Hope Kiki gets feeling better soon! Nebo knows all too well that it's not fun to have an upset tummy! He says to give Ki a kiss for him.

Poor Ki, I'm sorry your not feeling well sweetheart.

Kay, Angus used to get constipated quite a bit and he'd have the runs also just like your saying Ki has. I took him for a long walk and gave him just a bit of pepto (to stop the runny poos) and a few hours later he'd have a good poo.
I hope your girl has some luck.

{{{HUGS}}} to the both of you, I know how we all feel when our babies aren't feeling good.

I hope Kiara is feeling better soon.
