Was at the vet yesterday with all 3, they have been getting treated for psuedomonas and had another swab done yesterday.
Fine when we got home, playing and racing around as normal, ate tea as normal, begged for scraps as normal. This morning Twiglet is decidedly off colour, doesn't want her breakfast and hasn't got out of bed. She did wag her tail a lot when I sat with her but this is just so not like her. She is a stomach on legs and thinks of nothing but food. Hubby took them out and she trailed round with him, did 2 solid poos but there were 3 little pools of bile-y vomit overnight.
Help! What could be wrong? Do I need to get her to a vet now or see how she goes? She's never been sick, she's 4 and a half, spayed, GWP.
 
I would phone and speak to your vet. If she is on ABs it may just be a side effect of those, but the vet should be able to advise you whether or not they need to see her. Hope she soon feels better.
 
Thanks both of you, have rung the vets and spoke to one of the nurses, she wants me to take her in for a triage. God, I hope she's ok, lost my horse last week, not sure I can cope with more trauma :-(
 
Sorry to hear about your sad news x Hope Twiglet is on the mend asap, glad you taking her to the vet,good luck with it all, fingers crossed for some good news here later
 
thank you, it is a very hard time.
Been to the vet with Twiglet, they couldn't find anything wrong, no temp, apparently no pain in abdo. They gave me electrolytes and a homeopathic remedy and said ring tomorrow.
She is still really off colour, just lying around, barely moving even when I leave the room, not asking for food. I know her and I know something is wrong but what else can I do.
Anyone have a clue what could be wrong? She won't drink the electrolytes but I'm not too worried as she isn't dehydrated. She hasn't been sick again and had another normal poo.
 
I would try get the electrolytes into her..its the same with us, waiting for the feeling of thirst to set in before having a drink, is waiting too long..and the body is already dehydrating..noth the best analogy but it works..don't presume she isn't dehyrdating just bacause no outwardly signs..good luck, hope they all back 100% v soon :)
 
Thank you Sahara, she is better this morning but not 100%, I mixed the electrolytes with her food last night and this morning and she did have a big drink outside. Still a bit clingy and there was another pool of bile :-( but she desperately wantas to eat!
