Sometimes we never know why our little dogs (or children or us) don't feel well for a day or two. But thank goodness, all of us usually get over most things.

Glad your puppy is better.....

I picked Teddy up at the aspca this afternoon. They said he was eating and feeling better. he seemed okay tonight until I after I fed him some boiled chicken and white rice I cooked for him. After eating he became very lethargic. He just wants to lie down in his carrier and he does not respond when I say his name. I walked him home from the vet. They said that would be okay. It's about 1 mile. He walked home and seemed fine until eating. When they discharged him they gave me instructions that say to give him small meals and to watch for any vomiting, bloody bowl movements or lethargy. They said I should call a vet if he starts vomiting or I see any blood in his poop. They do not say to call if he is lethargic. Is this to be expected?
I'm going to do a search in this forum for lethargy to see how I should react.
Thanks everyone,
Jack

You need to give him sugar immediately!!! Karo corn syrup, Nutrical, Nutristat, honey, plain table sugar in water -

karen171 · 07-07-2006, 06:21 PM

Sorry to hear he's still not feeling well...it is a good sign that the vet discharged him. As for the lethargy, is there any way you can call the vet and tell him what Teddy is doing? If it's to be expected, as least calling would give you some peace of mind. I pray that Teddy will be good as new very soon.

Lacy's Mom · 07-07-2006, 06:24 PM

Sorry my first post was so abrupt - Did they run any tests or give an antibiotic? With a 105 fever there has to be something going on.

jackknyc · 07-07-2006, 06:38 PM

They gave me amoxi drops. What do you mean about the sugar?

jackknyc · 07-07-2006, 06:39 PM

I left a reply on the board asking about the sugar that you are suggesting.
Thanks,
JAck

Im so sorry Teddy has being sick. If he still lethargic after giving him the nutrical I think is best to call your vet. I will keep him in my prayers. Please keep us posted.

Any updates on Teddy?

Lacy's Mom · 07-07-2006, 07:33 PM

The amoxi drops are probably amoxicillin which is an antibiotic. I answered your PM, sorry it wasn't right away, I had to run a quick errand.

jackknyc · 07-08-2006, 10:32 AM

Teddy is much better. I gave him some chicken and rice a few hours ago. Only about 1/3 of what he usually eats. I might have given him to much last night. So far he seems fine and I am feeling that we will come out of this scare okay.

Thanks again for all the prayers and good wishes. I don't know how I could ever get through this without an online community like this.

I don't want to use the aspca again. I tried to call them last night and there was no way. They seem quite cold and I could not speak with the doctor when Teddy was being released. He felt warm and his temperature was not taken when he was being discharged. I had to insist that the technician take his temperature. Also the doctor was not very clear when I admitted him. I am going to post this request for a vet on the main board where there might be more people in the area.
