Mabelen Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Update - I am in disbelief, but she has made a remarkable comeback. I said "walk?"and she immediately perked up. I took her for a walk, she pooped, and peed. She sniffed and was happy. We came back home, I prepared some chicken in broth an mixed it with her breakfast kibble. She gobbled it up. She went out to the back yard and chased a lizard. She peed again and then drank some water. I watched sitting in a garden chair, she jumped onto my lap and is fine. What on earth?? My husband says it could be the rain yesterday!? I mean, I know she doesn't like the cold and rain, but we are in Southern California! It doesn't ever get that cold! We had some drizzle yesterday and we only got up to the low 70s, but come on! If she continues to be fine, I will postpone the appointment to another day for a more convenient time. She is due for a checkup anyway. My 4 year old Chihuahua mix has not been herself since yesterday. She had breakfast and acted normal in the morning but then in the evening she was not active and she had only a morsel of chicken I hand fed her. She has not gone to the bathroom since before lunch yesterday. She didn't eat anything today and I haven't seen her drink since yesterday morning. I have an appointment at 4.00. Should I look for an earlier appointment? Any other advice? Edited October 18, 2016 by Mabelen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Unless she's really lethargic then I think you'll be okay waiting until 4:00. It probably wouldn't hurt to rub a bit of Karo or maple syrup on her gums (will help if her blood sugar is low) and try to get her to lick an ice cube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanier.1765 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 :grouphug: No advice other than I let mine lick a popsicle but I have no idea if that is wise or not. It seems to help when she isn't feeling well though. I'll keep your puppy in my thoughts and hopes for her well being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Will she drink if you hold it for her? Poor pup. I hope she's okay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
