I'm looking for thoughts on what could be wrong with my 2-year old Lab/Greyhound mix. Last night we took her out for a walk, came back and fed her (canidae mixed with oat bran because she has a tendency for soft stools and therefore blocked anal glands). I noticed around 10pm that her stomach was making gassy noises, but it was only 1 or 2 times.
This morning, my husband got up around 7am with her, she went out and urinated/defacated (he said it was softer than normal) and then she refused her food. This has happened a few times recently, and in general she is a dog with stomach issues (easily throws up, gets carsick, etc); usually she will eat it an hour or two later. Her tummy was still making noises and around 8am she vomited a little bit of brown fluid.
Right now is is 12pm and she still refuses her food and still has the tummy noises. She also won't drink, which worries me more (I offered water as well as water mixed with a spoonful or so of broth). Normally, I would have taken her to the vet already, but this happened about a month ago and as soon as we went to the vet, she accepted a treat from him and acted like nothing happened! At that time, we thought maybe she got cold in the night and we've begun covering her with a blanket at night in her bed. Could she have gotten cold during her walk and have a stomach ache?
She also will play if you bring her toys, etc. Right now she is outside sunning herself. She does not seem to want to come inside. Another thing that I might mention is that I am due with our first baby in a month, so there have been some changes to our home recently. I don't know if this has anything to do with anything.
At what point do we go to the e-vet (I swear, this dog loves to go to the vet!)?
Thanks in advance!
