What's wrong with Fodhla

[Mrs. Jingle]

We went along behind our bitch with all sorts of 'catchers', she just scooted forward and spun around and gave us the filthiest look! We eventually got one but to this day I still don't think she has quite forgotten the thermometer incident and our part in it!

Hopefully it will be just a bug, good luck with getting the urine sample and fingers crossed that she improves. I would give the dog school session a miss, in case she is contagious
but if she is feeling pretty grotty she will not enjoy it. Sending ear rubs (or whatever she likes) and crossing fingers

Did you ever see such a sad looking doggy. She's extra clingy atm. She has had a not very good but not scary looking poo and she has eaten a small bit of kibble and porridge (her favourite). Hopefully will be feeling better soon. Cuddles are the order of the day and yes she loves an ear rub

 

[oldandgold]

Bless her, if only they could talk it would make our lives a lot easier

They go from ‘dying’ to ‘nowt wrong with me’ in hours, never fails to amaze me. I wouldn’t take her anywhere tomorrow, definitely not in the same space as other dogs.

I remember rocking Bear as a youngster, sobbing, he was totally limp, I thought he was dying, think he’d scavenged something in the field. Totally fine the next day.

She may have ate something horrible and had a sore tummy I've seen similar before with a friends dog they find all sorts of rubbish vile stuff x

Just to add my wheelie bin was reeking so I washed it and scrubbed it yesterday and there was some horrible stuff that was at the bottom when I tipped it on the drain I thought yuk, scrubbed drain left hose on it for ages but the dogs still ran out and was licking it

Fingers crossed she is feeling better soon x

Sending healing vibes.

Hope she's feeling better soon.

Hope she’s on the mend soon. I had my first out of hours vet trip with mine the other week, I think it took me longer to recover than her!

To get extra fluid in her soak the kibble. I always feed Daisy’s very wet after a bad kidney infection last year.

 

[Clodagh]

How is she this morning?

 

[ArklePig]

A bit perkier! She had a small nibble and a proper drink and then she got into bed with my parents

She is still a bit subdued but not as lethargic as yesterday.

 

[AmyMay]

Did they take bloods yesterday?

 

[Christmascinnamoncookie]

Bless her, if only they could talk it would make our lives a lot easier

God no, Mitch is quite vocal enough! I’d be constantly harassed for food/attention/walks/attention/play.

 

[ArklePig]

No bloods @Amymay

Today Fodhla has eaten, had a proper wee and a poo, is drinking, and though still a little bit tired she initiated some play with my dad so I'd say she's definitely feeling a little better. I even managed to catch a sample. She hates her probiotoc though so that's a bit awkward getting it into her. All in all I'm not overly worried about her anymore.

We obviously gave dog school a miss so we're going to do a one on one hopefully next week because this trainer really and truly gets her and has really helped with some of her impulse issues. She has done what everyone else has failed to do which is to get her civilised on the lead. We've tried two other trainers, one of whom just seemed to think she's a spaniel she'll never get it and another who seemed to help but then dropped off the face of the earth when we tried to reach out for follow up.

Anyway, I digress but the upshot is she's feeling a lot better.

 

[oldandgold]

That's good news

Glad Fodhla is on the mend. I was concerned it might be a blockage when I first read your post. One of our working collies had a blockage a few months ago and it was some sort of weird rubber type bung thing (maybe from a dog toy, although we are careful not to leave toys lying around). He was very poorly but made a full recovery thankfully and is now back at work.

 

[ArklePig]

Glad your dog is okay @Moobli they do like to keep us on our toes. I thought she was seriously ill yesterday she seemed so miserable but now she is much better and I think wondering what all the fuss is about.

 

[skinnydipper]

Thank you SD. The laugh react was purely at the image of my neighbours catching me catching her sample with a ladle.

Following her round the garden with a ladle, pfft.

Expressing her anal glands, internal method, now that would give the neighbours something to talk about.

 

[ArklePig]

Fodhla is totally back to herself this morning thank god it was nothing serious, thanks everyone for your advice.

I'm really late to the party but I had something very similar with Fizz recently. She ended up getting worse on the prebiotic so we stopped feeding it but she perked up again after a couple of days. I go into instant panic mode with her given her age and her history with pancreatitis.

Glad Fodhla is back on herself too. They do like to worry us I swear!

 

[Marnie]

Glad Fodhla is back to herself
