Tilly is not herself
« on: September 19, 2012, 04:37:42 PM »
 As the title says Tilly is a little under the weather. Yesterday she appeared a little lethargic and slept quite a bit of the day but was eating, drinking, pooing and weeing as normal. On 3 occasions overnight she was crying to get out and appeared to be straining to do a poo however it was just watery diawotsits ( her poos have been the same solid consistency since the day I brought her home). She has further episodes throughout the day( though with a little more substance to it) and apart from a little breakfast we have not gave her anything else to eat. She is drinking plenty water...but is really miserable looking  :'(. She is showing no signs of pain in tummy area.

Poor girl is on chicken and rice for dinner tonight....really hope she picks up as I cannot stand to see her look so unhappy.

Watch for mucus and/or blood in the poo - it could be the start of colitis.  Chicken and rice is a good idea, but i'd take her to the vet if it doesn't clear up quickly.  Sending  :bigarmhug:

Yes we doing that...have plenty experience with colitis as Erin 7yrs has had bouts of this on and off since she was a pup. Thankfully no signs of blood or mucus. She has just been again and looking a little more solid but will stick with chicken and rice tonight regardless...dont think she be happy though as loves her grub  :005:

Sorry, didn't mean to sound patronising, only by your initial question, I thought you were a fairly new to the game!  ph34r

Did not think for one moment that you were being patronising....was really just venting how I was feeling about ma girlie being off colour  :005:
Sometimes it is so hard to express yourself with the written word that it can be taken or interpratated the wrong way  >:D
I appreciate your concern x

Hope it's nothing more than a little tummy upset and she will be back to normal tomorrow.   :luv:  It's so upsetting to see them off colour.

Diawotsits seem to have stopped though poos still a little soft . She still not as lively as she normally is. At least she slept all night with no accidents though....however Erin who is 7 now has diawotsits >:D so can only conclude they picked up some sort of bug or have scavenged the same item of foodstuff  :huh: So it chicken and rice on the menu tonight again...just need to make sure no blood etc as Erin has a very sensitive tummy and is prone to colitis.
Hubby and I are like the poo police at the moment  :005:

Thank you all for your concern x

Certainly sounds like a bug if they've both got it now.  Hope they are better soon.  :luv:
