Rizzo Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) Rushed this one to the emergency vets last night only for her to stage a miraculous recovery just before we got in the door. The vet had come out to the car after OH described what was going on over the phone and the wee bitch bounced out the car wanting a play. Took her gigantic injection and thermometer up the bum like a champ and just wanted mpre play time and cuddles from the vet afterward. Her symptoms were very strange, I had taken her out first thing for an hour before work and she was fine then. The dog walker took her out at about 11am for a very short walk and she was Ok then too but when I came home she was firing from both ends and very quiet. Wasn't for eating anything and at 8pm gingerly climbed up onto the sofa, leaned into me and started shaking and crying. Turned out she'd had a reaction to a packet of hamster treats she'd gotten hold of and scoffed in the morning and is back to normal today. Just as well it was payday yesterday. OH sent us a rare team photo as well. VID-20230330-WA0002.mp4 Edited March 30, 2023 by Rizzo 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Cooper doesn't go near his bowl downstairs, that we are aware of, when we go upstairs to bed he waits at his bowl in the room until my wife pours a little out her glass for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a brief look elsewhere and limescale in the water was another suggestion - but yeah dirt stew may be yummy for some dogs.. For the pedants, yeah I know Scotland water is "soft" and low on limewater. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 We always refer to our dogs preferring "meaty" water. Morse especially likes to sample puddles and different parts of the canal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
