Well, that was no fun
Nov. 17th, 2009 06:39 pmGaby didn't eat her lunch today, which makes the first time she's not wanted to eat since I changed her food almost 5 weeks ago. When I came home from work, she had a little bounce, but she didn't want her dog biscuit and immediately went into the living room to curl up on the couch.
Call me a worrywart--I thought this might signal a developing reaction to her food, so I called the vet and squeezed in an appointment. The Gabster doesn't have a fever, and she wasn't guarding her abdomen. She did have some very full anal glands, which the vet expressed. Gaby had been going after her bottom a lot lately, and the vet said that one of her own dogs, oddly enough the one with the food allergies, goes off her food when her glands get full.
So, pepcid tonight and for the next few days. No food tonight, but try to feed her tomorrow because nausea can strike if the stomach is empty for too long. She did eat a tablespoon or two of wet food when I gave her the pepcid, but she left some in the bowl. She's with me in the office now, dozing on King's bed. King decided to curl up on it as well, but you can tell he's not used to sharing.
I hope this is just a passing thing. A few too many blades of grass, or something.
Can I take that vacay in Aruba now?
Update: Let her outside around 10:15. When she came back in, she went to the baker's rack as usual, and waited for a biscuit. Ate two of the hypoallergenic ones. I hope that's a good sign.
