Upset Stomach

Hi all.

This morning Cola had messed in the house (the 1st time) and it was very very runny.

I took her out this morning as usual and she messed again in the park (something she never does) and it was still very runny, just like water.

She hasnt eaten anything different in the last few days and when I gave her some dry food she didnt eat it.

All day she has been lying on the sofa with a very sorry look in her face and hasnt wanted to move. This is very strange for her as she usually follows me everywhere.

I know its probably an upset tummy but Im worried about her, Ive heard chicken and rice is good for loose bowels but she doesnt want to eat anything right now.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Well I had to leave her for a few hours but since I got home she hasnt drunk either. She hasnt moved in 4 hours, just sleeping next to me. Im really worried about her.

She is just turning 6 months old, could this be anything to do with her coming into season already?

Re: Upset Stomach

You`ll need to be careful she doesnt get dehydrated,if you grab a handful of skin and it doesnt ping back he could be dehydrated.

Re: Upset Stomach

Thanks I will keep an eye on her, if shes no better by morning I will take her to see the vet.

She usually gets on really well with my cat too but she growled and barked at him earlier because she thought he was stealing her biscuits! Which shocked me a bit as shes never guarded her food before. I am hoping its just hormonal and shes coming into season.

Then again she has always eaten grass etc so am wondering if she ate anything that didnt agree with her.

Re: Upset Stomach

hi,
when my pup had diarrhoea, people advised me to give her scrambled egg, chicken and rice and also mash potato. no seasoning in anything just the egg, chicken, rice and potatoes!

hope this helps!

Re: Upset Stomach

Sometimes they eat things you dont see them eat while in the park she could have eaten fox poo always a good one for making Daisy loose , or could she have eaten anything out of a bin at home , sometimes its best not to feed while she has the runs but to get her to drink put a little splash of milk in her drinking water just enough to colour the water she will drink that our always do lol . Keep her quiet if she wants to sleep let her bodys heal while asleep , Daisy came into her first season on monday and she has been a little quiet too , if your at all still worried take her to the vets most likely he will give you something to stop the runs and a dioralite type stuff for her to drink usually clears it up in a couple of days , hope she feels better soon .
