Madeleine Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 We got home from work thisafternoon and Zara was shivering/shaking - really bad, didn't say much of a hello and didn't want to jump up which is extremely unusual - and no kisses - even more unusual....so it was off to the vet - he doesn't really know what's wrong with her...checked her all over, and pretty much we've come up with a fever and a sore tummy - but no vomiting or diarhoea. So she got an ibuprofin shot and a couple of ibuprofin to come home with and 24 hours observation.....(looks like she is coming to work tomorrow - my patients will be impressed ) A couple of days ago - I'm not sure with the wind etc over here or someone 'dropped' it into our yard....there was about a third of a polysterene cup from boost juice (they're quite large) that both Koto and her must've eaten. She's still doing normal poos and wees...and she's not dehydrated - but am thinking that would most likely be the problem (but Koto is fine....)....don't think she's poisened as we don't have any around...and if someone was trying to bait them surely Koto wouldn't be well either - and Zara would be sicker.....Any thoughts?

puggy_puggy Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 There has been a gastro going around lately. Could be this. My puggy boy had it about two weeks ago and was very un puggy whilst he was sick. What area are you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 We're in WA - she hasn't had much contact with other dogs lately....she's not got the runs or vomits though (have just been checking the yard AGAIN). She's perked up a lot since the ibuprofin shot - hasn't eaten much dinner at all (EXTREMELY out of character....not that she can't stand to skip a meal or two ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy_puggy Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 When my boy was sick he only threw up once or twice a day and went to the toilet normally but his poo was runny. He actually refused any treats (which is very un pug like) and I had to cuddle with him for about half an hour to make him stop shaking at one particular time.

Madeleine Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 She has come good - at about 11 last night she perked right up and was playing with Koto again, and thismorning she was absolutely fine....weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Pugs can have off days just like us, more than likely a 24 viral infection, glad to hear she is back up and around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
