We tried to take him for a walk this morning but he wasn't having any of it. I can't tell you how sad that made me because Woody NEVER refuses a walk.
He's curled up in his bed now, exhausted (know how he feels) so am going to try and get him to come into the office with me so I can keep an eye on him.
First round of abs tonight with chicken and rice so hopefully that will stay down and we'll start to see an improvement.
Thank God it wasn't bloat. What an absolute scare though.
Thanks for all thoughts and wishes xxxxx

The last thing he needs today Pidge it to be taken out for a walk, or go into a busy office,
Think how you feel after a realy bad tummy bug, all you want is a to rest, in a warm room/bed, and recover.
He will be feeling weak and lethargic, and probably sore too.
I would 1) leave him at home, and try and pop in to check on him, or 2) stay at home with him, and just let him rest.
This happened to Bandit a few mths back,but him being an old man, he was very ill, (surprised me how an old dog can go down hill so fast) he ended up on a drip for 2 days in the vets)
Anyway getting back to Woody, hope he is feeling a little more himself today!

Called the vets who said to bring in immediately as sounds like bloat.
They checked him over and after a thorough examine have said it's likely to be acute gastro. He's had an ab jab and anti sick jab, which he had a reaction to. He ran in circles, whimpering and almost fitting. It was horrid to see ;o(
He's now back with us to monitor over the next few hours to be sure it's not an obstruction and that he is coping with the symptoms of the jab, as has excessive drooling and shaking right now. He's very unsettled and we have to keep an eye on him over the next few hours.
So scared for my little guy ;o(
He hadn't eaten anything on a walk had he? Just it sounds very similar to something that happened to one of mine a few weeks ago. He chewed one of those sticky burrs became agitated, restless and confused very quickly. He was having difficulty swallowing was frantically trying to make himself sick and was drinking copious amounts of water! On first examination the vet thought he was postictal (until the dogs stopped the behaviour to listen to a baby in reception).
I can empathise with you, horrible situation and you feel so helpless!

I would let him dictate when he wants exercise as he will know how he feels. Ollie if under the weather will sometimes refuse to go for a walk but when better is ready and bouncing again to go out.

He's lying on the bathroom floor comatose. Hasn't drunk anything all morning, but he's not a big drinker anyway (usually 3 big gulps a day only) but will keep an eye on it.
The vet was ever so surprised to his reaction to the jab. Apparently it can cause side effects, but it's very rare.
When he's better he's going to have sea bass and a lovely long walk, his two favourite things!
