Thanks all, it's really kind of you to be there for me like this, I'm really stressed out here as you can imagine
She's slept a lot, but that's good. Her tail is constantly between her legs which I don't like at all, I'm only used to seeing it wagging
I've tried tempting her with fish and rice, fish and potatoe, chicken and rice, chicken and potato, but no, she must feel sick coz she refuses it all, but Georgie is happy licking up the dregs, so I gave some to him instead of his kibble, bless him he's being so very good and quiet. He keeps sniffing her under her belly, so he knows something's going on there doesn't he!
She keep going to the tripe sticks drawer though, but I just daren't!!!
Eventually, I managed to tempt her with a cereal yoghurt, not a live probiotic I know, but she's having the syringe of that put in her mouth and I've done that twice today. The vet told me to give her 3 sections of it 3 times a day, whereas the instructions on the box for her weight say only 1 x twice a day, but I'll go with the vet on that.
She was then interested in the fish which Georgie was eating, so I just took a handful (it's proper fish for dogs minced fish) and she ate that in her yoghurt pot, so I suppose things are looking up a tad.
Her wound is still raging red, but it's not where the hernia was, it's the spey wound bit going to her rear end. She still has chronic water coming out of her rear end, which is yellow, but she doesn't appear to be straining with it,it's more projectile, but thankfully always outside, or constantly going, it's just that I just let them out and she went. She hasn't been sick again, but now she's eaten something I just don't know.
Time and time again, I'm reading on the net that with this type of thing a few days after a spey, it can point to infection in the wound, but on the inside with the sickness and diarrhea and it always says they should be hospitalised, so if I'm not happy with her either tonight or tomorrow morning especially, then I will want her to go back in there I'm afraid. I don't care about the stress, I can't bear to see her like this when last night and all week she has been such a bundle of fun with no signs of any complications, so I just can't understand this at all
I'm strongly suspecting she has picked something up in that bladdy vet surgery, what with lying on the floor with a wound (I didn't have a t-shirt on her last night, don't know if that was right or wrong!) plus she had a toy which was on the floor that she kept picking up, so you just never know do you! Hopefully though, it's just a normal type bug and she'll be over it in 24/48 hours, but I still can't understand why that wound has flared up at the same time, and to me, it must be connected with that! I'm going in circles here I know, but to see her like this is truly heartbreaking
Thanks again guys.xxxxxxx
