    my baby doesn't feel well!!

    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????

    this afternoon for sure -- and suggest bloodwork if the vet doesn't (sometimes they will not suggest tests assuming you won't want to pay).  What you are describing with the activity is lethargy and that's NEVER a good sign.  Ask for a fecal too.  Your fiancee is likely right.  And honestly I wouldn't delay.
