Dixie is Sick

[tl_ashmore]

I woke up this morning and Dixie is really sick. She won't eat or drink anything. She won't play with Bula. It looked like she had some blood in her stool. We have a vet appointment at 10:00 today. Keep your fingers crossed that she's going to be ok. She just looks so miserable. She wouldn't even eat her t-bone. (those are her favorite treats)

I sure hope everything is ok with Dixie. She may have swallowed something and it's giving her probs. Let us know how it goes at the Vet. (fingers crossed)

Thanks, I will. I had to leave her there this morning. The vet told me to call back around 2:00.

hi there i have just read your thread and fingers crossed, i bet you its nothing any way good luck!!!

Well, I just picked up Dixie. She's got some hookworms. He said that is why she isn't eating very much. He also did a heartworm test. I will get the results from that tomorrow. So, Dixie just has to take some medicine for the next three days, then she should be fine.

Good deal!

Glad to hear it's nothing too serious. Hope the heartworm test comes back negative too. I had to have my big GSD/Akita mix, Bear, treated for heartworms. It was rough, but it could have been a lot worse. He recovered and went on to live a long, energetic and sublimely happy life.

Dixie will be fine.

Between this and Bula's adventure, you've had your share of canine emergencies lately! You're due for a break.

[tl_ashmore]

Oh I know. But its ok. I wouldn't trade them for anything.

[Renee750il]

Oh, we all know there's nothing you would ever trade them for any more than I would trade my monsters (even when Shiva steals peanut butter off the kitchen counter - again - lol). You and Dixie and Bula are just due for some trouble-free time soon!

By the way, how are Dixie's allergies this spring?

arrr well at least you know that theres nothing bad any way i hope your result for the heartworm test is ok!!!!!!! Good luck
