Should I be worried?

I find that in general, the feeding guidelines on the food bags would end up with all of us owning fat doggies!

You mentioned that you always think she is skinny. Write that down and next week, ask the vet about her weight. Then you will have a better idea if she really IS skinny, or not.

I can't remember how old she is, sorry. Do you have her on a monthly heartworm pill yet? (If she is really young, she won't be on this yet) The one I use, Interceptor, is also a monthly wormer for most intestinal worms. So write this down to ask at the vet visit, too.

I think you "owe" use more photos of Clover!

I forgot her health papers when I took her into the vet to see if she had a UTI so I didn't know if she had been wormed or not. The vet just said bring in for her second needles and we can give it to her then if she hasn't had it.

I'm sorry for all the questions. I'm maybe being paranoid but I'm so worried about her...She was laying with me in bed. She got really restless, like she couldn't get comfortable. She finally fell asleep and started to breath quick and had a really quick heartbeat.

I've only ever owned 1 dog from this age, and it was 13 years ago so I really don't remember what's normal.

I recently lost that dog and I'm still heartbroken. I'm not sure I could get over it if something happens to Clover. I think that's why I'm a little paranoid right now.

Freedom: here is a picture of how Clover sleeps all the time

I was reading some signs of bloat can be fast heart beat, anxiety or restless, drinking lots...

but she has pooped a few hours ago after I noticed her belly being big. She's isn't trying to throw up. And her gums are pink.'

Also, she has done this before. The fast breathing/big belly thing....

Sorry you must think I'm crazy for getting this worked up.

She looks like she just has a tubby puppy belly, doesn't look wormy to me looks normal to me. I would just have your vet worm her
(Most use Strongid-T for roundoworms. That's what we use at the shelter I work at..) to be safe. You aren't crazy for asking or getting worried; it makes you a good dog owner for being concerned.

Thanks everyone. I'm going in today to get her de-worming stuff. I'm not sure if she's had it already, but they said to give it to her every 2 weeks until she is 4 months.

[luvofallhorses]

Are you getting it from the vet?? I have never heard of worming them until they are 4 months.

[Sowa]

Yeah I went to the vet. It's every 2 weeks til 4 months, then you'd do it normally. I think it was Monthly from April - November or something.
