Husky Missy Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi, have a 4 month old sibe bitch who is normally in great health, allthough today she has been off her food and has now been sick. She is drinkng water, not sure whether to take her vets now or to wait up with her through the night and see how she goes. Any ideas?

Deb&Loki Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm no expert but...is she acting her usual self or does she seem quite lethargic? I had a few worries with my pup when she was sick but when she is still acting herself I've tried not to worry and it's always passed...she's always eating allsorts in the garden. If she is not acting herself and feels bloated then I would get her checked out just incase she has eaten something and it's blocking her up. Is she still pooing normally?

husky princess Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 personally i think if you think you need to get advice from a vet you usually do need to go. Vets bills is part of owning a dog (or any pet) so if nothing else its worth getting piece of mind. they would probably check pups temperature, whether he's deydrated etc. but will do an overal body/health check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Missy Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Thanks, does seem lethargic, poo is still hard, hhas been very quiet today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgore@yahoo.co.uk Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 if shes lathargic and keeps being sick i would probably get her to a vet or if youve been walking in clumber park/sherwood forest but if shes only been sick once and is otherwise ok and drinking plenty i would wait till tomorrow and see how she is then she may have just eaten something that she shouldnt hope she gets better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb&Loki Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 If she's still going to the toilet normally then I wouldn't be too concerned with there being a blockage. The trouble with pups is that they are always eating things they shouldn't and making themselves sick. Mine was the same a couple of weeks ago. She went off her food but was sick in the evening. I kept an eye on her and the next day she was right as rain. You know your pup better than anyone else though and if you are concerned maybe you should just give the vets a ring, like husky princess has said it'll give you peace of mind.
