David See Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) Hi all, I know I am going to have to take her to the vet, but I needed some initial advice. Our new Pup, Molly, has been lethargic over the last day. I just went out the back to see the dogs and she was crying around the side of the house, lying on her side, just wimpering. It took all her energy to get up. I picked her up, still wimpering, and I noticed she had bubbles at the side of her mouth. She has appeared awfully skinny over the last day or so, too. I am wondering if she has been bitten by something, or poisoned. Twice since we had her, it appeared as if she had some kind of snotty growth around her bottom lip. This morning I had to litterally peel something off her bottom lip, around the front edge. Looked like snot, but was completely attached to her skin. Once there was like a dried mucus all over her nose like a second skin, if you like, that had to be peeled off. Thought you guys might know something before it is off to the vet.

shekhina Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 My only advice is get her to the vet NOW, don't hang around for answers or for your appointment time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Sounds bad, David. Hope she's at the vet as I type this. Would be very keen to hear what the problem is but her symptoms sound alarming. Your guess at poison or a bite would seem reasonable to me. Good luck.

David See Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 On the way to vet now - she wouldn't drink, either, just stick her nose in the bowl and not do anything - just look at the water closely. DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trisven13 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Sounds like bloody parvo to me - I hope not for your sake David. I've just lost a pup to it this week myself . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David See Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) We're back, not Parvo - vet said she has picked up a bug and will be over it in a day or two as long as she doesn't start vomiting or get the squits. Vet suspected parvo but said because her belly wasn't sore, Parvo was out. She got a shot for her 39.6 temperature and is on antibiotics. Back home now and she seems a little better, following our other dog around at last. There goes another $100 but at least Molly is ok. She has also remembered to use her tongue to drink, too!

Dog_Horse_Girl Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I'm a little concerned/uncomfortable that the OP seemed to begrudge the (small, IMO) vet bill and lack of update since. Or am I just paranoid? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innana Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I wish the OP would come on and post an update-it just didn't sound good for Molly,did it? Hoping here that she is on the mend but to be honest I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
