    Somethings wrong.....

    My little chug is sick......
    on Monday, she threw up a little-(looked like an old fig she found in the yard)...and she threw up just once.
    She seemed more tired than usual.
    Was VERY cautious when jumping on/off the bed and couch.
    Wouldn't really make eye contact, kept her head down, and was more quiet than usual-
    no chasing squirrels in the mornig.

    I remember on sunday night my fiance picked her up by her midsection and she squealed, but thought maybe he
    just grabbed her wrong....then under the covers in bed, I moved my leg and grazed her head softly, and she squealed again
    (just trying to give as many details as possible up front)

    Ive gone over her limbs gently, seeing if she pulls any of them away and she didnt.

    Are there such a thing as the dog 'flu' or 'colds'??
    her nose is a little dry (compared to our other dog)
    but she has been drinking water.

    My fiance says that she smells sick to him (its this weird sixth sense he has with people and animals)
    but I cant take her to the vet until thurs or friday afternoon.......

    Any ideas? thoughts????

    get her to the vet ASAP.
    It could be nothing, but if she's vomitting AND squealing, that sounds like blockage to me or SOMETHING.
    Not to freak you out, but get her to the vet. I'm not an expert, but I know as a pet owner, with what you've described, I would not mess around with waiting.

    Good Luck!
    I hope she's ok!

    I agree...to the vet quickly.  Lethargy and pain should be checked out quickly ...and the "old fig"...are you sure that wasn't blood?  Good luck.  keep us posted.
