Daphne is sick...

[wolfie]

Thanks everyone for your nice comments and get well wishes for Daphne!

Daphne seemed to be getting better before, but now I'm not so sure. She can wag her tail a little now, and it doesn't seem like she has a stomach ache, but she still isn't acting herself. She hangs her head down low, and looks depressed. And she spends her entire day on the couch.

When I came home from school today, she started to come over to me, then went and laid down again. I went over to pet her and she cried. I don't know if it's just the arthritis or something else.


Here's some pics of my pretty girl. I tried to get one of her wagging, but the camera seemed to take all the pics between wags. lol

Daphne, you are such a precious little girl and it breaks my heart to know you're not feeling 100% Hopefully the medication will continue to help ease your discomfort. Please get well soon, sweetheart!

Sorry to hear about Daphne.Fritz and i hope she gets better soon and her tail gets wagging again like it did before.

So sorry to hear about Daphne. I hope you find out what is going on with her and there is something you can do for her.

Lots of good thoughts heading your way Daphne!

I hope she's feeling better now. Did the vet say that she had to be taking the medication a while before it would take effect? I hate to see her like that and I know you feel much stronger about that than me.

Thank you again everyone.

I am still worried about her. She is acting so depressed, and really submissive. Everyone else seems to think I'm getting worked up over nothing - but I know there is something wrong with her still. My mom said she'll call the vet tomorrow and see what she says.

The pills are for her stomach I think, not her arthritis. So maybe it's just the pain from the arthritis that's making her down? I hope so.

I really hope it is nothing serious. I feel so dumb, but I was crying before when I was petting her. She just seems so depressed, like there's something seriously wrong.

I just took her outside to go to the bathroom though, and she acted normal and happy, so maybe I am getting worked up over nothing. I don't know...


edit bckrazy - I just saw your question. Daphne's 6, going to be 7 in April.

I know when i'm really upset about something my dogs act sad as well. So, maybe she's just sensing that you're upset, so she's acting upset as well?

She's still young.
