First of all, I don't think she's gotten into anything. I've been spending all my time with her, even having her stay in the bathroom with me when I shower so I can watch her.
Last Friday, we finished up the prescription G/I dog food. Up until that point, she seemed much better, back to her old self. Then when I was just giving her the kibble I had always fed her, she refused to eat it. Saturday and Sunday she hardly ate anything. Her energy level was going way down. She would take Milkbones and pieces of cheese and water. Sunday nite I fed her a whole can of tuna. She kept it down.
Then on Monday, still ate no kibble. Drank a bowl of water, threw up the water. Monday nite, we went to the vet..she ate some treats and a tablespoon of G/I food. The vet said "She's fine, tough love, she's being finicky, she wants the expensive G/I food". Yesterday, she ate nothing, so I called and asked one of the vets when tough love changes to a vet visit. He said to feed her boiled chicken and rice and if she threw up at all, bring her in.
She ate the chicken and rice...then wouldn't eat any of it this morning, even refused tuna fish. And threw up. She was very lethargic. So, I have dropped her off at the vets for the day. Hopefully, they will call me soon and give me an idea of what's going on.
I hope that they just tell me she's being finicky. I wouldn't care about paying for two more weeks of G/I food. If I am going to do tough love, I'd rather she be as far away from that surgery she had as possible and strong as she could be.
Please pray for her that the vet says she'll be ok. Hugs to you all.
Stephanie
