My ptsd service dog is sick

[hodge]

Omg, JMH, I am so sorry I missed this thread and wasn't here for you while you were going through this ordeal!

I am so glad she's better. Animals are so tough because they can't tell us what's going on. You did everything right.

And such a nice idea to take her to doggie day care, which I imagine has elements of a dog park -- those are wonderful! And every caregiver needs a respite once in awhile :-).

She threw up tonight. :( Headed back to the vet in the morning.

She's perky and acting normally, but the vet said that if she starts vommiting that I gotta bring her back in. They are fitting us in first thing in the morning.

Candle for your girl and you is lit, and my heart and thoughts are with you. Sending some calming hugs your way. :hug: :hug: :hug:

Oh, JMH, my prayers for you and your dog. Please let us know how she is doing when you are able, and you, too!. I'll be keeping vigil. Oh, hon, I know what you are going through. Just keep the faith. She is still a pretty young dog, considering, and you are a wonderful furparent.

Thanks you all. She is a tough dog. I think she's gonna be ok, but I'm struggling to let go of my worry. My biggest fear is that I'll make the wrong decisions but I'm trying to remember animals get sick, it happens, and I'm doing the best I can.

I feel so alone in this. I'm too alone all the time. It helps to know you all are here.

JMH, all you can do right now is be there for her, cuddle her, and be with her. Please try not to worry about your decision making -- that's why you have a good vet. In the meantime, cuddle her and give and take comfort -- I'm sure that's what she wants.

You are not alone. I will be checking in as often as possible over the next days.

So sorry to hear the furkid is not feeling well. I hate that she is now doing this... it's hard not to worry... but you will make the right choices.... thinking about you and will be checking in on and off to see what is going on.Hugs for you and the furkid~~

JMH sorry, I just read your post. I know we talked on chat. Did they do x-rays? I hope you are both ok. Big :hug: my friend.

Stay the course my friend. Your dog may have thrown up whatever she needed to get rid of.
Prayers for you both.

The normal vet had to rush into surgery with an emergency that happened - something about several dogs in an accident. She did come in and check my dog, but asked us to come back when she can do a more through evaluation later today. She also said she could get me into an emergency clinic but they are backed up for several hours as well. I asked about getting x-rays to know for sure if my dog ate something. She easily agreed and we are going to do that later today. I really like this vet.

My dog isn't vommiting anymore and has all her energy, so I'm hoping that she did puke up whatever was making her stomach upset.

Fingers crossed that it's going to be fine - sounds like she might be pulling through:)

JMH can I ask if her gums are white or pink?
