Dog not eating.

    Did you vet suggest anything that should be done at this point? I know you said that he said it could be whipworms or infection, but did he say you should wait, or do the worming or what did he suggest?   I wouldn't want to put my dog thru anything when she is feeling bad, unless its something to make her better. Seems he should have a suggestion of some sort!

    All the vet said is he could give me the pill for the worms or do the surgery.  Nothing else... i may call tomorrow and see if he wants me to bring in a sample since she is going to the bathroom now.  You would think if he didn't find anything he would suggest more tests but he didn't just the cure for 2 things he isn't sure she has.

    I think that is a GREAT idea!!!  Then ask him what he thinks you should do! Ask him if he thinks you should just wait it out and see if she is better or not.   But if he can check for the worms, I think he should.

    Sad that i have to help he think of things to do to figure out what is wrong with her.  He didn't seem like he cared if i did pick up the pill or spay her, but i will ask him if he thinks its ok to wait it out and see what happens.  He seemed more worried about the fact that she is skinny than why she is that way.  I don't know just think it is time for a new vet.

    I tried calling the vet but didn't get to till 3 and the lady said he was leaving after this next person.  She has been eating small amounts during the day, but home she has like liquid stool.  She is drinking like she was before she got sick.  Could it be that she is feeling better but still is a little sick?  Because other than waking me up at 3:30 this morning to go out she seems normal.

    She ate her normal amount of food today.  So i believe she is feeling much better.  The first bowl for breakfast took her a little while to finsh but the second one she ate as fast as usual.  Even starting to get a little bit of her belly back.  When she was skinny from eating iams it took her about a week to put on weight when we started canidae, so we will see then.
