Squirt - my Queen has crossed The Bridge

Well, she sounded a 3AM alarm instead and was up once more to go out with mushy poops. :( She was begging for breakfast, tho, and is acting as if she feels fine. I gave her about 2 tbsp of her feed sans the meats along with SEB this morning. If this continues, she will be at Dr B's today. So far she hasn't asked to go out but she is a bit gassy...and right under my desk where I am sitting! :rolleyes:

I looked at the lab report we got the other day and there is no listing for lypase or amylase so I have no idea about the pancreas. :mad::eek::( I don't like the way this lab presents the results; there are three columns - low, normal, high - and the units of measurement but no normal ranges for anything other that cholesterol and triglycerides so you can't tell if something is approaching abnormal. I am going to call Dr Nafe and ask if there is anything he sees on here that could indicate pancreatitis...which is my concern. Her poops are very mucousy. :(

I'll let ya'll know how things progress.

Thanks for all the support!
Many hugs,
Leslie and the Stinky Queen

Squirt woke me up at 2AM, whining, moaning and growling in my ear and I thought, "oh no...here we go again!" So I get up and go through the house to the front door...but Squirt stops in the kitchen, stares at the fridge and starts barking! :D:D She was HUNGRY big time! LOL So I gave her a couple more tbsp of her food and went back to bed with no need to go out. YAY! This morning she ate another very small meal then had a normal poop! WOOHOO! :cool::cool::cool: I have continued to withhold her meds and have added SEB to each meal except breakfast this morning to see how she will do without it on board. She is acting much more like her usual self, tho, today so I hope this is over!

I never did hear back from the vets yesterday but we seem to have turned the corner so I will do a happy dance today for sure! I did remember yesterday that she used to do this from time to time but it has been a long time since she had a problem and I guess I just forgot. :rolleyes:

Thanks for staying by our side!
Hugs,
Leslie and Squirt

Leslie: That is great that Squirt is better, more poop patrol. That seems like all we do, but better to get a handle on it early. Hugs, JoAnne

It's true, no one can get more excited about normal doggie poops than humans with pups on "poop watch". So glad that Squirt is more on game this morning! whoo hooo :) 2am snacks huh. Sounds like my husband. hmmm. should they meet?

Hugs,

Leslie,

That is wonderful news!!! I am so happy Squirt is feeling better. There is nothing better than being woken up in the middle of the night for food when we're worried about them...well, except maybe a normal poop when we're worried about that too.

I'm hoping this is the end of whatever was bothering her.

HAPPY DANCING

So happy to hear that our sweet girl is feeling much better...WOOHOO!!!!

That's great news Leslie! May little Squirt continue to thrive:)
Hugs from Leah and Maya

Glad Squirt is doing better. We need to hear about the triumphs also.
Hugs Sonja and Apollo

Leslie -

Sorry to hear that you and our buddy Squirt went through such a rough patch lately. Sounds like she's turned a corner and feeling better though and what a relief that is. She's slowly getting back to the normal eating and normal pooping - not to mention normal sleeping habits, YAY!

Extra Hugs coming your way! :)
