Dog refusing to eat

[bexVN]

What did he have stuck in his gut?! Sounds like it would've been serious if he hadn't sicked it up, from that description!!

Hopefully he'll be fine now.

No idea what it was as I cleaned it up without examining it but it looked to be just over an inch long He would be off to the vets this evening if he hadn't thrown it up.

Cripes, no wonder he was feeling sorry for himself!

My Springer's got colitis ATM, this is all very odd

Odd isn't it? Ours is still looking very sorry for herself, she's had a couple of dog biscuits and a couple of bits of cheese but turned her nose up at anything else, including being hand fed warm chicken. She hasn't eaten properly since 4pm Monday. She's a bit brighter than yesterday and doesn't appear to be in pain as she was before.

Fingers crossed for more improvement tomorrow or we'll be back to the vets I think.

Glad the OP's dog seems better, sounds very worrying.

[bexVN]

At least she seems to be showing signs of improvement scen if it is a bit slow. Hope she's back to almost normal by tom.

Thanks Bex, the blood test for pancreatis was negative and they'll get the rest of the blood tests back tomorrow (she has an auto immune history and spent 6 months on steroids so I'm a bit concerned about the potential for liver damage).

She seems more alert today so fingers are crossed that tomorrow will show more improvement. It's so difficult when they can't tell you what's wrong.

[bexVN]

I agree and I can understand your concern given her history.

My 15yr old cat has had just about every test in the last month. She has had a high thyroid reading but none of the other symptoms you'd normally associate with the condition and still losing weight. More blood tests on Friday

He seems to have done it again . Refusing to eat and eating lots of grass to, presumably, make himself sick.

Worst of all, mum's refusing to run him to the vets again

tell your mum shes not going to the doctors when she is next ill if she wont take the dog there when its ill.

He's ok now, was getting worried as they were the same symptoms as last time when he swallowed something.
