Sikki Meg

[edzbird]

So it's till going on. Yesterday evening she sicked up a small square (a bit less than 1cm) of something not quite as hard as a stone. I've saved it (yuk). Tomorrow we see the vet. That will be a whole trauma in itself. Maybe she can be examined in the back of the car.

She's just had me out in the garden in the rain, desperate to go out....not to be sick, but to play football.

 

[SwampDonkey]

Are they going to sedate her?

 

[Emily]

Can you pick something up for her before your appointment? We now have Trazodone for Ella and it's been a real lifesaver.

 

[David]

If she's having tummy troubles the vets usually have easily digestible food they give their inmates after operations that you can usually buy from them.

 

[edzbird]

I've no idea what they will do. My local vet is open again, but they have no spaces for a couple of weeks, so I'm going to the larger branch in Douglas. I said she was likely to be difficult to examine, she said there are more staff there to help. I'm hoping it just comes down to buying expensive vet food, but I'll know more tomorrow.

In the (likely) event she is difficult I will ask about medication for vet visits.

 

[SwampDonkey]

Best wishes and fingers crossed for her Sue. Will do love herxx

Poor lass , and you too xxxxxxx

 

[Joy]

I hope the vet visit isn't too traumatic and that they can find out what's causing her continuing vomiting.

 

[Selina27]

Good luck Sue, I hope you can get to the bottom of the problem.

I've just seen what I've there

 

[Cath]

Fingers crossed she will be ok

 

[FayRose]

Good luck for your poor little Meg at the vets and it's sorted as quickly as possible.

hmm.... I would like to know what they mean by this, and how they cater for nervous dogs? If you go down the route of medication, Trazodone is a good one to use.

I think they mean manhandling . TBH we don't have much choice, she needs to be examined. My fault for not just going to sit with her in the vets and let her get used to them since her last visit for vaccinations.

 

[Jacqui-S]

Hoping it's not too bad.
And you get some answers

 

[SwampDonkey]

I don't think sitting with her would have made a great deal of difference. She's just really scared. It's a pity they can't just knock her out. At least she will be starved so if they do suggest it you would have that option.

 

[Candy]

I do hope it's not too traumatic for poor little Meg and you Sue. It's so distressing to see our sweet dogs scared. Thinking of you.

 

[Granca]

Hope all goes well for Meg today.

 

[Cath]

Sending love and hugs to you both xx

 

[Loraseal]

for you all. I know how distressing it is. X

I hope it goes as well as possible today for poor Meg (and you).
