Little Tully is sick

The vet rang and said Tully perked up this morning and her gums have turned a normal pink. I won't get to see her until this afternoon, then decide if I want more tests done. They're trying to get a urine sample but finding it hard when she's that close to the ground and fluffy. Given the amount I've already spent I may bring her home and observe her for the day then decide if she needs more tests. Of course it's Friday here so that's a pain if she's still sick over the weekend.

Interestingly, Deska has been quiet as a mouse. No barking this morning and he went outside to toilet without barking, he even chased the neighbour cat out of the yard without barking.

Urgh - just had to run outside mid-typing for Deska. He has the runs. So I'm guessing Tully did share some of the yoghurt drops after all. Maybe that's why he's been quiet, he has a tummy ache too. Well that will make feeding easier - both dogs will be on prescription low fat for a while. And the trial diet the dermo-vet recommended will be put off for a while. I wasn't really enthused about cutting up and cooking rabbits anyway.

Needless to say - no more yoghurt drops will be coming into this house.
 
Well, I'm glad to hear that Tully is feeling better, but so sorry that she was generous enough to share her goodies with Deska :-(
 
Little Tully is home with me now. Still don't know what's wrong but I've come home with pain killers and flagyl. She is very lethargic and has taken herself off to bed. Just hoping she picks up over the weekend. I could have left her over the weekend but they don't have a night nurse - a vet just visits a couple of times during the night, so I figured I could just as easily get up during the night and do observations at home. She ate a little of her prescription diet food and kept it down (turkey unfortunately which Mr D can't eat) and she's still drinking a lot. Really hoping it's like when we get the flu and she just needs to rest for a few days.

As soon as I picked up Tully, Mr D started with the barking, and he'd been so quiet. I can see now some of his barking has to do with proximity to Tully. Interesting training dilemma for me.
 
I just saw what is going on. I am sorry you are dealing with this. I hope it is as you said and they will be better with some rest in a few days. Keeping my fingers crossed for you! :fl
 
I just saw this thread and I'm glad he's home and hope she begins to feel better soon. Here's hoping you have a quiet weekend.
 
I am so sorry to hear this, and hope that both of them have a nice, quiet weekend and feel much better soon. It's so hard when our furry ones are ill -- we're going through something similar with Casanova-the-cat, who was in the hospital for four days and still isn't quite back to his usual self.
 
Hope Tully soon get better, understand you want her home, it's not to keep going if one is not near them especially when they are feeling bad.
