Title: Something wrong with Diesel
Post by: c19unn on April 20, 2012, 03:59:44 PM
Hi guys - I got in from work and diesel just sat at my feet no wags no you no jumping up - I say down and he climbe onto my legs and was shaking and just licking my hand - other half said tha he was ok this morning until he went to the shops and came back and said he reacted the same way - I let him into the garden and he just lay on the grass - he hasn't been sick - and his gums still pink and fine - I can't feel anything wrong with him but it's very unlike him - not sure if I should worry or not - he is just following me around an lying at my feet when I stop moving - a little bit worried :-(
Any advice please

I would take him to the vet, just to ease my own mind if I were you.  They do like to keep us on our toes!! Hope Diesel feels better soon, and keep us updated, or I'll spend the weekend worrying!!

Sorry to hear that Diesel isn't his usual self.  I'd also take him along to the vets, or at least ring them for advice. 

Could Diesel have found/eaten anything whilst he was alone when your OH went to the shops?  That would be my first thought.

Hugs for Diesel xx

Hi Charlene ,
I would see if your Vet would see
him this evening, even if it's
just
reassurance .You know your own
dog and if something is strange get him
checked,
I hope it's nothing and he feels ok soon.

Maybe a quick trip to the vets now is a good idea.  It's probably nothing - might he have had a scare while your OH was out (loud noise or something)?  Could just be an upset tummy but with it being Friday I would pop him to the vets now to hopefully avoid an emergency appointment over the weekend and just get him checked over.  Hope it's nothing and that he perks up soon.

Nothing he could have eaten we make sure before we go - he is a picky eater at best of times I gave him a treat to see if he turned his nose up and he didn't but he is sticking very close to me :-(
I shall give them a phone see what they say :-( aww I'm soo worried - I will keep you updated x

Awww, poor Diesel, they are a worry aren't they.  Think if it puts your mind at rest then a phone call to vets.  Hope he feels much better soon.

Glad to hear Diesel is ok.  :luv: It is a worry when they're not their usual bouncy selves though. I know how you must've felt and agree that you definitely can't trust the OH's opinions :005:
