*URGENT* Prayers for Zoey! ****UPDATE****

[.sarah]

ZOey's nose is running really bad, is that bad or is it just like not a big deal?

Do you have any way to check her temperature? How is she acting (is she back to normal)? Are her gums nice and pink?

[Flatcoatluver]

Her gums are pink, she isn't acting normal but she is getting better and better every hour, we have a human thermometer(SP). would that work?

[.sarah]

Yes but you'll need to stick it up her bum and if you do that I imagine you'll need to get a new one later lol. A dog's normal temp is 101-102 degrees.

ok I will ask my parents, I would hate for them not do know about it and be sick and try it out, But also thanks because I should actually this weeknd by a thermomter, are they usally at petsmart?

[.sarah]

I bought my pet thermometer at PetCo. Petsmart probably has them too. I don't know if they have regular, inexpensive ones though. Mine was $50 because it can take their temp from their ear canal rather than their bum ... Mandy doesn't exactly like something entering that area and I don't exactly like doing it either lol. It's also electric. This is what I have.

[Flatcoatluver]

Thanks, I get paid this weekend so I will try petsmart, then petco. Thanks so much.

Of course! I really like it. I use it after walks and hard playing to make sure my girls aren't overheated. If their temp is high I just wrap a cold, wet towel around them. And if they're acting abnormal I take their temp of course. It's a good thing to have around

She definitely wont be totally normal for a while. I can tell you that much from Tink's seizure experiences. Her not moving was probably being in a coma. So she wont be completely normal for a lil while.
ETA:Thermometers that go up a dogs butt(also had this experience ) they arent fun to use.

Aww Rusty thats so romantic!

If it was a seizure, the last stage (post-ictal) lasts anywhere from 1 hour to 2 days. Hope she gets better soon, you are in my thoughts.

Hope Zoey is feeling better again soon.She is in our thoughts and prayers.

Oh no I am just seeing this. I am glad to hear that she is improving but it sounds like she should really be looked at by a vet.

How is she today?

Sending lots of good thoughts.

[Flatcoatluver]

[Ginger's Mom]

I hope that Zoey is better today. Please let us know what the vet says.
