HazyWal Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Go and get the dog NOW! Straight to a vet.I honestly don't know how you can sit back and watch this dog be so sick with the real possibility it will die.I for one feel sick in the stomach.

Staffyluv Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) I'm not happy Misty still hasn't been to the vet she didn't eat on wednesday or thursday and has thrown up once, I can't report her as she is my sister plus she will know it came from me. If Misty was my dog she would have been at the vets weeks ago,I wouldn't have let it go this long. My sister is in denial she thinks Misty is going to get better. How very sad and disappointing... I wouldn't care if my sister knew it was me or not... Honestly your sister should not own an animal if this is how she treats them... I only hope she doesnt have kids... If she was my sister, I would be reporting her or better going and getting the dog and having it seen to myself... Send me her details and I will report her... The animal needs treatment.

YOU have known of this dog's illness for some time now. YOU keep saying you would like to help her, but you have not done anything. Out of everyone on this forum, YOU are the only one in any position to do something. Help this dog now!! If you don't, YOU should feel just as responsible as your sister for neglecting this poor dog.

GoldenGirl85 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Assuming the dogs are registered with the council....an anonymous call can be made about a pied whippet called Misty who is severely underweight and ill, we do know they live in Mildura If MTS is unwilling to help this dog....someone has to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I hadn't popped back in to see how she is going cause it just makes me sick to the core. I would have had her that fast to the vet it would of made your head spin but then again I would never ever have let Misty get into the poor state she is in in the first place, my sisters dog or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lavendergirl Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 What is your relationship with your sister? Can you not just make a vet appointment, pop around say "right we are off to the vet - I'm paying", pick up the dog and off you go? I don't understand why it is so difficult to get this dog vet attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussielover Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I can't see how your sister would object to you taking the dog to the vet and paying for it??? I also can't believe that a vet would say wait a month if a dog was seriously underweight and continuing to lose weight and vomit!!! That poor dog should be at a vet NOW.

pebbles Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I'm on another forum and in contact with the sister. The sister is feeding some recommended food in small feeds and the dog really isn't that bad. Photo has been put up and, yes, she is a bit thin but she's a Whippet, recovering from illness and it's been suggested that she have a good warm coat on 24/7. In the photo she looked more cold than sick and the owner says she shivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumtoshelley Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Shes not as bad now but can still see 4 ribs and the hip bones. But I just don't like the idea of Misty not eatting much and threw up once on wednesday night. My sister has been giving this special puppy milk and shes been giving her that. Heres the picture she posted on facebook it doesn't really show her condition to well.Her coat is very dull and lifeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumtoshelley Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Why is your sister Misty milk? Not sure why she is giving her milk she doesn't need that she needs a high protein/high fat food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebbles Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) If your sister is feeding as suggested on the other forum and I feel she is along with providing a warm coat 24/7 then I'd think Misty will be OK. That photo looks to me as if she is cold (jmo) and owner said she did shiver a bit. eta - having had gastro she doesn't need a quick change to a rich diet.

Kirislin Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) It's hard to tell from that photo, but she doesn't look very thin. The way she's hunched over her spine would stick up and show. She does look like she's cold there. I hope what ever shes got she recovers soon. If she needs veterinary attention and your sister wont take her then I hope she realises she shouldn't have a dog and gives her to someone who will care for her properly.

I'm sorry pebbles I mean no disrespect but to say " she is a bit thin...but she's a whippet " just bloody annoys me Has she been to a vet to find out what illness she is actually recovering from?..and it has been SUGGESTED that she has a warm coat on...goes without saying coat your bloody freezing dog!

mumtoshelley Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 she is a bit better weight wise I just saw her on thursday. I just can't believe how long it has taken to get some weight back on her. Misty has always been a bit stockier then Missy and weighed a little bit more too. I have plenty of meat here and some veggies so maybe I should make her some raw food and see it that helps Misty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fox Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 she is a bit better weight wise I just saw her on thursday. I just can't believe how long it has taken to get some weight back on her. Misty has always been a bit stockier then Missy and weighed a little bit more too. I have plenty of meat here and some veggies so maybe I should make her some raw food and see it that helps Misty. If she's been ill with a stomach upset she needs bland food - boiled chicken, rice and sweet potato and/or pumpkin. A little bit of ginger can help too. Then slowly introduce richer foods. My Ridgeback had a nasty bout of gastro a couple of years back. It was quite some time (around 3 weeks from memory) before his normal diet could be re-introduced without upsetting his belly. If the dog is feeling the cold think about buying a snugglesafe pad for her. http://www.vetnpetdirect.com.au/SNUGHEATP#.T8ncjtXPrSg They are currently on sale and stay warm for hours. I've put one in my boys crate and it's made a huge difference. I find it interesting that people are jumping up and down presuming this dog is on deaths doorstep when no-one has actually seen her.
