Ah sheesh, good thoughts for Pirate please? updated - false alarm!

Posted : 3/10/2009 10:32:32 PM

It figures. We took Pirate out on a boat ride today. He was perfectly FINE when I left for work at 6PM, but by the time BF got home at 7 he said Pirate was lethargic and didn't want to open his eyes. He ate his dinner but when I called to check in at 10PM BF said he still wasn't perking up, so we decided that BF needed to take him to the emergency vet. They are on their way, now.

I really wish I didn't have to stay at work, I'm so worried about my boy. Good thoughts please? If anyone is even up this late...

P.S. -- Callie, if you see this -- I forgot my stinking cell phone at home! I don't have your number, now, so call me if you can.

I know I know I know -- I'm sitting here tapping my toes. I'm wondering if it's some kind of allergic reaction? Or who even knows?! It's so much harder since I can't SEE him or put my hands on him. His gums are normally a little pale even with a perfect CBC, so BF saying they are 'a little pale' isn't the same thing since he doesn't poke the dog's gums on a daily basis.

I am hoping it's just a false alarm. An expensive false alarm.

Lordy. The ER vet says he looks OK. I'll probably follow up with my regular vet in the morning, but for right now he's OK and probably just tuckered out from his big day on the boat.

Thanks, all. Sorry to get everyone in such a tither! BF gets one big shiny 'good doggy daddy' star for being alert though.

Oh, Good! I'd definately have your vet run a CBC tomorrow just to be completely sure. And, your own peace of mind.

I suspect he's just a tired boy. Here's hoping he's up and at 'em tomorrow!

Sorry I'm late to this, but you have good thoughts that the follow-up today is still good and he was just one tired little puppy!

And, kudos to BF for being alert!

I didn't see this till this morning. Glad he's OK and hope he was just tired from his boat ride. Good doggie Dads are like treasures and you've got a gem! Pirate, sleep in this morning and feel better!
