Hi, just seen this and wanted to ask....
When you say about the way she was holding her head and neck, was it like it looked like she was getting ready to throw up...kinda stretching out her head.
I ask because my Ralph started doing this a few weeks back. He also wasnt himself, very quiet etc.
Took him to vets who said hes def got some pain in the back area but wasnt sure if it was back or stomach....
Anyway he was totally better a day or 2 later, so Im thinking it was a little bug or smething

Hope all goes well for you

Would also like to add, I wouldnt beat yourself up about raw feeding...I cannot see how a vet can possibly say a bug due to raw feeding. A bug is a bug surely, without lots and lots of tests surely they cannot tell where it came from. I would lean more towards the vet being anti raw feeding as alot are..

When Willow had meningitis last June when you called her she was cautious to turn and moved all of the top half of her body rather than just her head. When she slept she lay with her head right back. When we visited the specialist last time when he moved her head forward that was where the pain was.

He said it could be a bug, not from the food, or bacteria from the food, or the food not agreeing with her. He also mentioned salmonella. He has taken a stool sample.

Spud's not fed raw but he had horrible tummy bug a few weeks ago, so direct link difficult to prove unless very strange bacteria detected in the food and the stool x

So glad she is feeling more perky.  :D
There seem to be quite a few nasty bugs around at the moment. I still think though that, given her history, you took her to the right place.
Hope she can come home today.

Hoping she is gonna be on the road to recovery soon.  Such a worrying time for you all.

In our thoughts still. Xxx

Good News

Maddy rang me an hour ago after hearing from the Specialist and has asked me to update for her as she has to go to work for an important meeting.

Willow is running around like a looney this morning  :banana:  and is loads better.  They think her symptoms were due to an upset tummy.  Wills is coming home this afternoon but if any problems arise over the weekend, she has to go back and they will then do further tests but don't want to subject her to anything at the moment because she is making such good progress.

Glad you're feeling so much better Wills.  :luv: :luv:
