Help urgently needed please Cadbury very poorly
« on: January 02, 2009, 09:10:23 PM »
Cadbury has over the last few days lost appetite and seems very depressed and we have booked a vets appointment for tomorrow. But tonight he has started trembling uncontrollably and seems very lethargic. I tried to get him to eat but his legs would hardly hold him and kept splaying out to the sides.

He has had all his jabs, not eaten anything he shouldn't of and nothing has changed at home recently.

Does anyone have any advice I'm so worried and wonder if I should wait till morning to get to the vet.

I'd give the vet a ring now, sounds like he needs to be seen ASAP.
Hope it's nothing serious and he's better soon  :luv:

Hope everything is ok, only time Ben was like this was a reaction to a worming tablet, it frightened the life out of me.  Has Cadbury had anything like that today?

I would definatly speak to your vet.

will keep trying the Vet but constantly engaged at the mo.

He has had nothing unusual to eat or drink today and no worming or flea treatments in the last few weeks.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts and i'll keep trying the vet.

No advice, apart from phone the vet and double check with them, hope Cadbuy improves soon.

I agree - get on the phone to the vets now and get him seen.   Have you had a look at his gums ?  Are they a bit pale ??

Hope you are both OK  :luv:

I hope you can get through to the vet tonight and get him seen soon.

I also hope that he's not as bad as you fear.

I'm most probably a bit late with this, but agree with the others and would get on to the vets asap. 

Thinking of you, hope Cadbury is ok :luv:

Hoping that you've found the emergency vets, is Cadbury dehydrated? (Test by gently pinching the skin, it should spring back into shape, if it stays pinched then it indicates dehydration).

Is there any chance that Cadbury could have eaten a foreign object such as a sock or part of a tennis ball? If so, then you need to see the vet asap.

We're sending lots of hugs from Carlisle and hoping that Cadbury recovers soon.  :blink:
