Robbie is poorly

[Nessie]

Robbie started pacing at 4 this morning - not settling at all - every so often being sick - started as yellow bile, then just white foam - so took him for a walk about an hour ago and he did all the usual - all be it a little lack lustre - he ate some grass - came home and threw up the foam and grass!

He just wont settle - cant stay in one place - is trying to curl up in the strangest places! He's not a happy boy

Knowing his scavenging tendancies he's probably just easten something - but now wondering if something is stuck down there - not seen him swallow anything tho!

What do you think?

[MightyMouth]

I think the vet once told me that dogs throw up their food if something is stuck in their guts (that shouldn't be) because it cannot get processed properly. The yellow bile is what Chloe used to chuck up...and so do the girls........ when they are empty. I would have them at the vet but I am a first class panic merchant when it comes to the girls :076:

[Tanya]

oh poor Robbie :| If he's really looking uncomfortable and not settling then I would certainly say vets, especially given his sock eating habit ^^

Hope he's ok and is back to his bright bouncy self soon :075::075:

[Theresa]

Oh no what has my boy laid his paws on...poor wee fella...give him a wee squidge fae me and I too would take him to the vets to be on the safe side :075:

[lisalh]

poor robbie-hope it is nothing serious, give him a gentle squidge from me xx

[Gwen]

Poor Robbie. I hope he's sorted and back to normal soon x

[Nessie]

Well - went to vets right after posing - i too am a worrier - they think there is something in there - they gavr him ga and endescoped him - but nothing in the stomach - but there is a build up of gas and they can feel something - he's been x rayed and nothing showed - so its not metalic etc - so now they are keeping him on a drip to see if he can pass/vomit anything this afternoon - if not he's on the table and under the knife!

He's in the best place - but the house is sooooooooooooooo empty!

PS - def wont be making the meet tomorrow!!! Sorry all!! xx

Please do the poo dance for my boy - it has to be a better option than the knife!!

[Tanya]

Poorly boy :|

Poo Robbie Poo for all your might! :075:

Sorry you won't make it tomorrow, but you've unfortunately got a valid excuse :075:

[Penelope]

Everything crossed here for Robbie.
Hurry up and do a poo so you can go home - your mum is waiting!

[Theresa]

Come on Robster poo your little brains out wee man...or bring it up if you must just expel it will ya....if you do it quick you may still make the meet ;) xx

[Nessie]

No phonecall - so suppose no object by natural means - now i just wonder if they are gonna leave him over night or open him up tonight!
Oh well - he's in good hands

[Gwen]

can you not ring them?

[lisalh]

Hope he ok, have tried doing the poo dance but obviously not successfully . Big hugs as I know you will be worried about him xx

[wendy]

[Freckle Face]

Thinking of you both x x x x

[mrsk]

Come on Robbie, do a poo!!! Hope you are ok babe, you must be beside yourself :(

[jean]

push robbie push!! :044:

[Meerkat]

oooo i was hoping for some better news by now that he had poohed and was home

here's hoping he is sorted real soon

[Sandra]

Only just seen this, keeping my fingers crossed that Robbie is soon home with you again.

[Nessie]

No news - good news??
Well, sure will get some info in the morning
Thanks all for your thoughts - strange here without him!

[MightyMouth]

Hope all is well today. Will keep nipping on to see how he is. They are such a worry sometimes eh? :075:

[lisalh]

Fiona, please call/text when you hear anything, been thinking of you and Robbie xx

[mrsk]

Thinking of you. Let us know when you hear anything. xx

[Nessie]

Well, vet phoned - they did not operate last night - and this morning he has gone onto oral fluid and no puking - so far so good. Tey are gonna try him on some sensitive food today to se if he keeps it down, but they say he seems a bit brighter.
They are hoping that whatever it is has shifted and is working its way thro - so if he is eating and drinking and perky by about 4 they will let him come home!

I'll be glad to get him back (he's not a noisy dog but oy is the house quiet without him) - but i would like to know what has been causing it.

Anyways - will keep you posted - here's hoping something horrible pops out!!! and he is back to my speshul albeit bouncy boy!!!

Thanks for all your thoughts - i will tell him when he gets home! (Thats once i forgive him fo making us miss our christmas meet!)

[Gwen]

Keep us posted Nessie x

[MightyMouth]

Glad to hear that he may be home soon. Hope so xx:075:

[Nessie]

Boyo will be home at 6pm!!! Cant wait - he has brightened up and managed to eat a little - so although vet is still convinced something is down there they are hoping it appears naturally over next 24 hours - he has not been sick today at all!
Yipee
Thanks all for your thoughts and messages - they really do put us through it dont they?

[Gwen]

That's great nesw Nessie!

[Theresa]

Hey got your text but phone playing silly beggars and not letting me reply whilst its charging.....grr

Glad he is doing better and fingers crossed whatever the problem is is sorted ASAP.

I ate enough food for you too ;)

[lisalh]

Hope the spechul boy back to his usual self before too long with no ill effects from whatever it is. We managed to eat enough for everyone on VC (and I didnt have the sticky chilli chicken!!)

[mrsk]

Glad he has perked up. Molly is a foreign object eater too (usually paper/card etc). I felt like a magician one day as I pulled 3 bits of kitchen roll out of her butt still all joined together..... We need a full report once he has pooped :D

[Meerkat]

YAY - just catching up and assume you are on your way to get him

Hope he is still doing well and all is ok

LPH to you

[Nessie]

Got him home - we are snuggling on sofa!
Just fed him half a tin of Royal Canine sensitive as prescribed by vet for next few days - yuck - it stinks - now i know why i do kibble!!
He's a bit subdued - but sooooooo much better than 36 hours ago!

Thank you all! x

[Meerkat]

Awww glad he is home - positive thoughts that he is fully back to normal real soon

LPH xxx

[Theresa]

Awww Robbie lap up the sympathy man and I hope whatever was causing the problems shows itself soon one way or another :075:

[wendy]

pleased hes home and feeling better:044:

[Tanya]

[Gwen]

[jean]

[fridges are cool]

I'm glad you have your foot warmer back. Hope all is ok with pooch now. x

[Tanya]

How's Robbie doing.....any poos yet? :075:

[Nessie]

He is pooing - but to me it looks like overflow - some little skitters and some little marbles!
Yuck - haha - what a conversation

He had quite an unsettled night - and has had a lazy day - but apart from that he seems ok.

Who knows if i'll ever find it - but i have had very stern word with him today regarding his scavenging habit - not sure he listened!!

Glad to hear it has reappeared :044: Poor Robbie I can't belive it's taken that long :eek:

[Nessie]

[Fluffy]

17 days - and it comes out all twisted!!!! TMI - well - you did ask!!!
omg,17 days!!! Doesn,t the stomache acid break it down then?:073: i marvel at the way stuff works i really do x

[Nessie]

No idea how it all works - but its defintely a spaniel thing and hereditary - his mother and siblings all do it - all 4 in his litter have been in vets for swallowing socks or gloves whole!!!

[Fluffy]

I mean,how in the name of socks and gloves,do they actually swallow the bloomin things!!!!
well,i,m glad it,s all out in the open now,blows your socks orf,it really does..pmsl xxx

[lisalh]

17 days that has got to be some kind of a record for Robbie!! Glad it all out now

[jean]

Id take my hat off to him but he'd probably pinch it and eat it!
sock monster! :077::077::077:

[mrsk]

OMG I can't believe he got rid of it after all that time! I have to watch Molly like a Hawk with socks etc. I remember Carole sending me a text after I had her a few hours saying 'watch out she is a sock thief' truer words never spoken!
glad Robbie has given you an early Christmas pressie, how generous of him :D

[MightyMouth]

He is a legend, he really is!

[terri]

Oh My Dog...i've only just seen this thread..
what a worry for you..
and WOW a sock comes out after 17 days...:032:
he is one lucky boy....
i'm so pleased everything is fine and well with your boy now...
sending you all :075::075:
