Vet! Now! Not in a few hours.. Not tomorrow morning.. Right now, call your vets emergency line an take her in! That is way to young way to little and could go bad stupid fast!! Keep us posted please :( – LB
oh no, is that flirting? I’m married that’s not okay. I meant it in a very immature, juvenile, non-sexual way; mostly because I’m pouting about getting answers removed by Fluther moderators and people not biting at my banter today in general. SO there world, see my guts, but please don’t say I’m flirting
haha yeah cats are alright, puppies are adorable. I will let you know, And i didnt think you were flirting lol, No worrys, thats cool your married :) congrats
@patg7590: I am not subtly hinting at anything. (And one doesn’t bite at banter. And even more importantly, this is not the right thread for “immature, juvenile” badinage.)
@twilightlover hell yeah it’s cool I’m married. everyone told me I couldn’t do it. lol @gailcalled you’re just mad cause you figured out the cat dislike joke was aimed at you :-p
Call your vet now. Most vets will either have a way for you to reach them after hours or will give the number of an emergency vet. This puppy is still a baby, and babies can get very sick very fast.
For future reference, no animal should stop eating or drinking for a long period of time. But especially with puppies and kittens. They should be living vacuums, eating as much as possible so they can get bigger adn stronger. I hope your puppy turns out to be okay, with just some minor bug. :(
We took her to the vet Saturday morning, she was lethargic and barely breathing. She ended up having three types of worms in her. Their mother didn’t get dewormed or have her shots and spread it through the milk, they gave us antibiotics and shes fine still a little sick but very playful and lovable, Thanks guys for all your advice.
@twilightlover – that’s fantastic! NOT the worms of course! I’m so happy you took her in and got her help <3 I have always stood by the idea that if my dog is acting “off” from what would seem to be normal I take her in. I’d rather there be nothing wrong and swallow the $200 than not take her and risk losing an amazing friend.
I wish you all the best of luck with your new puppy and hope she brings you all the joy and happiness having a new family member should ^_^ – LB
@twilightlover: I am relieved and happy about your puppy’s re-entry into life.
And your story makes me less squeamish about Milo’s first real annual physical, in three weeks, that call for me to bring a stool sample to vet’s.
My sis says that you can check for worms by peeking under the tail of a dog or cat and seeing whether there is a little white thing stuck there, similar to a grain of rice. (The things we do for love.)
My kid’s dad was recently given a very cute kitten, Nutmeg. Apparently poor Nutmeg has now been in quarantine for a month due to ringworm. He gets sprung in a few days.
I learn new things every day, some of which I could do without. So I guess that means actually bringing material to the vet for the fecal float test for parasites?
If your animal didn’t poop yet that day, the vet can sometimes get a sample for you. It isn’t much worse than the thermometer up the butt thing that my dogs dislike so much.
Or you can bring in a fresh sample. It’s up to you.
I put a lovely picture up of her shes my profile picture, shes a blessing to have and I’m so happy shes a part of the family, thanks all you guys for being so nice and giving great advice.
