Probably nothing to worry about.
He's got the runs and he's kinda lethargic.
But I hate it when a pet is sick.. they can't tell you what's wrong and you have to just guess.
I'll take him to the vet tomorrow morning, spend $95 and find out that he just needs some Pepto Bismol.
or that he was licking your soap
I hate in when our pooch gets sick, but these days, the vet is a good idea....we are getting vet medical insurance... providing it isn't too expensive... :thumbsup:
I hope he gets better Jasun. ((hugs))
I see your licking the soap and raise you eating the soap on an almost daily basis.Quote:

Hope your pooch gets better babe :)

he was very sick last night. Had a fever, was very weak and slept in my arms all night.
but this morning, I woke up and he's full of energy.. bright eyed and playing with his brother.
I still think I might take him to the vet...
your in our neighborhood right? well, you should head over to the ONLY vet in town and the BEST vet in town - Beverly Hills Small Animal Hospital has open clinic every morning starting at 7AM and going to about noonQuote:

Dr Winters always took excellent care of our little Xica and extraordinary care of all other little doggies and critters...
they've been around since 1929
310.276.7113 (you might even run into some "famous hollywood stars" while your waitin' in the waitin' room!
we've seen dozens... Dennis Quaid's doggie and Xica used ot play together and board at the same times....
And do we even want to know what one trip to that vet COSTS??? Yikes!Quote:

no, Dr. Winters never charged us for our visits - just for the meds...
maybe, if we'd "dressed" for the visit he'd have charged...
but like I said, that's not say that "Ms. Sissy Snitty Ass" who lives up the street at 7forty something Maple Drive - who doesn't know where her card is but knows that is on file somewhere... etc. - had a $230 something bill for "little poochy cake's" runny nose
GAWD - do we LOOK that POOR?
(heehe... it works!) don't it Uncle Jed....
Wow, shame on me for making an assumption about living in Beverly Hills. If Ann Landers was alive I would have gotten thirty lashes with a wet noodle. How wonderful that you have a vet that would do that for you. Very cool.Quote:

BTW I took Lucky to Chateux Marmutt last week to be shaved, when I picked her up she was kinda lethargic, I didn't think anything of it until I got her home and she drank litterally gallons of water for 24hrs...
I now think they gave her meds to calm her down as she acted exactly the way she did after she got poisened!! (ate my entire Xanax prescription '30pills' after breaking into my overnight bag when she was mad at me)
I did not sign any consent for them to give her drugs and I will not be taking her back there again.
Again, hope your baby is ok...

jasun - how's your dog - halford, right? - doing today? any word from the vet?
tony - i'm making note of that. we haven't found a vet we liked yet, although we do know a great emergency pet clinic in the valley.
This reminds me... I used to work at the Chateau Marmont hotel and one time some lady called and started telling me how she was gonna send her "little girl" to stay with us and would we take good care of her and see that all her needs were met. Well, we had quite an eclectic client base so the idea of some wacky rich woman sending her daughter to our hotel for a few days didn't seem that odd so I assured her that we would take very good care of her "little girl". However, when she asked if we would bathe her and trim her body hair I drew the line. Turns out, a lot of people who called information for the Chateau Marmutt got ours by mistake.Quote:

sheesh - and we're not the only leather men btw - there's the Fendi Family and the Ferragamo's, etc.... heehe
all kidding aside, we are label whores and often show off our "ROB" labels whenever we have a chance....! - no, I'm not paid for that (anymore) - but I don't get my face work here - but did get the doggie taken care of here.....
Ann Landers is dead? WHat about her sister? what was her name? Dear Libby?Quote:

Anyway.
Halford is FINE.
Just a short-lived bug.. gave him the runs and a fever and made him quite lethargic. But he's full of energy today.
thanks for your concern.
Having a sick dog is horrible, although I hugged him extra tight last night in bed.
I'm kinda looking forward to getting him back in bed again to night so I can hug him again.
and so is "Helouise" of Dear Helouise fame -
god, where does that leave me - dear "dead" Tony.... who will carry on when I'm gone?
glad about the pooch - next time, take him to Dr. Winters... and tell him that "Tony" sent ya...
thanks for the update, Jasun - i'm happy to hear that halford is fine :) :)
We take our dogs to a place in West Hollywood. They're great with them and our vet looks like Kate Pierson.Quote:

We had 2 very sick dogs a while back. During a recent vacation, we boarded them at the 'high-end' Pet Hotel at Petsmart. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!
Our 2 dogs shared a 'suite' at over $100 per day which included playtime and walks. We brought along their own beds, toys and treats so they would be reminded of home. The dogs had to have all of their immunizations up to date before they would be allowed to stay. And the place looked very clean and nice.
Normally we would have a pet sitter come to visit them at our home twice a day but she wasn't available at the time. And they have a doggie door at home so they can go 'potty' anytime they wish.
When I went to pick them up at the Pet Hotel, they looked MISERABLE. Their eyes had that dead look... like they had given up on life. They barely greeted me, almost like they didn't know who I was. And their food dish was filled with the rich, unhealthy treats we brought. They were instructed to only give them a few treats a day. AND the water dish was empty!
And once we got them home, I noticed that they were both soaked in dried urine from head to toe as were their doggie beds. And they both had terrible coughs. Apparently they both had Kennel Cough, which they had been immunized before their stay at the hotel. Kennel Cough isn't a serious illness and usually goes away on it's own. But our poor dogs had to be on antibiotics for 2 weeks and they still have some symptoms 2 months later.
They also have other ailments that didn't exist before their stay at motel hell. Boney, who's 17, can't get around nearly as well and his sight and hearing are much worse than before. Petie, the monster Chiahuaua, is suffering from frequent reverse-sneezing fits which have increased dramatically since his stay. And now their separation anxiety has reached a fever-pitch. The guilt trip they lay on us when we leave the house for only an hour is heart-breaking.
Glad to hear he's fine Jasun :thumbsup:
Jim,
We had a similar experience to you with boarding Liquorice a few years ago, now she stays at a place in the enxt town over from us and she comes back so full of energy its unreal.
Even the veterinary place we use wont let her stay there because she was so enegetic the last time she tired out all the staff thats why we had to find a new place after our original place made her come back with blood in her urine and all lathargic looking :(
Regards,
Lee
You're right. Dear Libby was the name of the parody of dear abby on that episode of the brady bunchQuote:
