How is she acting? Does she seem to be in pain? I would worry about HGE. One of my dogs had it and we couldn't believe she survived it. Take your dog to the vet.

HGE


This. My dog was really lethargic and had bloody diarrhea. We wound up having to use the emergency vet and his body temp was so low they didn't know if he would have otherwise made it through the night. Wound up spending several days on IV at the regular vet. I learned that HGE is survivable if they can make it through the first 48 hours. If there is any blood, lethargy or your dog isnt drinking anything take him in ASAP.

I decided to bring my girl to the vet this morning, since they would be closed tomorrow.

Diagnosed with Gastritis. Injected fluids (looks like a camel back right now) as she was slightly dehydrated and Cerenia injection. Gave a prescription for Metronidazole and Royal Canin GI food (she can't eat today, must wait until tomorrow) and Pro-Pectalin.

And here's my sick girl ... almost 7 months old and weighs 51 lbs.
