Not very well

[kateincornwall]

Reuben is not very well this morning , poor lamb . He came home from Anna, his usual bouncy self , but apparently , he wanted to come into the bedroom last night which he hasnt done in months now . I always go to bed at around 10 , Paul lets them out for last wee and leaves Reubs on the sofa with his blanket . Usually when I get up, he is by the door having heard me awake but not this morning and lo and behold , three large piles of sick in the kitchen . He had a small breakfast , he would normally be pushing for his mornings walk by around 8.30 but is just hunkered down on his bed , so there he will stay . I think rice and white fish will be the order of the day , its so unlike him to be so quiet

Oh dear, sorry to read Reuben is poorly Hope he improves as day goes on, it's horrid when they are under the weather.

Poor boy.
Wonder if he ate something bad in the field?

 

[FayRose]

Poor little Reuben. Perhaps, having got whatever has upset him out of his system, he just needs some rest and will be his usual bouncy self soon. Worrying none the less x

 

[kateincornwall]

I never thought I would use the words Reuben and Quiet in the same sentence , poor love . I will watch him closely today for sure and maybe a short walk this afternoon if he seems eager , if not he can stay home and keep warm xx

 

[Oberon]

Hope he’s much better soon!

Poor Reuben, it's a good day for staying safe and warm at home with plenty of cuddles

 

[Beanwood]

Poor lad. I am thinking along the same lines as @Jacqui-S. Are the other dogs that were with Anna that day OK? Poor Reuben, hope he picks up soon! Mind you, he chose a good day to hunker up for cuddles, it's horrid out there!

 

[Anne123]

That’s my thoughts too...I hope he perks up soon! Have you asked Anna if he has been eaten something he shouldn’t?

 

[Joy]

Poor boy - it's upsetting to see them unwell. I hope he starts to feel better soon.

 

[Atemas]

Poor Reuben. Hope he starts to pick up now

I have just spoken to my neighbour over the road ,her dog was with Reubs at the field and she is fine , also rang my friend Jill , her Poppy was also there and is fine too . I`ve messaged Anna to see if the other three dogs there are alright, maybe she hasnt heard from their owners yet ? I know she is very vigilant , but then dogs will be dogs so yes, its possible he has eaten something he shouldnt have . He had his twelve month boosters last November/early December and has been wormed regularly too . Nelly is fine so far so I`m just on watch and wait , I hate this so much x

Poor lad

These walking stomachs of ours can eat something so quickly that no one sees it. Hope he starts to feel better quickly, poor pup.

It's also worth considering that this time of year dogs can get a seasonal gastro bug. My dogs have had it and I know a few different dogs around here have had it. They are just quiet sick and sometimes a bit squirty. They can get a temp and just generally feel a bit flat.

I do hope Reuben is feeling more like his bouncy self soon

 

[kateincornwall]

Despite him not asking , I took them both for a walk in the woods . After about 30 yards or so, he went into poo position at the edge of the trail but nothing came out , big panic from me . Bless him ,he was straining like crazy and then slowly emerged the most monstrous offering , never have I seen the likes He got to his feet , ran a little way then squatted down for a repeat performance , after which he set off like someone had poked a stick of dynamite up his bottom , the look of relief and joy was clearly evident And so I reckon he just forgot to poo yesterday as he was having such a grand time , oh these flippin` dogs , scare us shixless , pardon the pun xxxxx

 

[Lisa]

Hopefully that’s done the trick! Go, Reuben!

 

[HAH]

Oh hurrah, glad it sounds like Reuben has unblocked poor fella, it must be very uncomfortable. Hope he’s feeling a lot brighter now, Kate x

 

[Jacqui-S]

Phew!
