Aroura Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 :cry: I don't know what to do, I just posted that thing about bloat and the dogs just had a fight and now I think Tessa has bloat :cry: I don't know what to do, I'm going to call the vet, thats what I'll do... its 11 pm but her tummy is like a balloon and I just looked at that sight and she is showing a few of the symptoms. Oh no, this is terrible :cry: Quote
abker17 Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 Contact your vet, it very well could be bloat... I hope everything turns out okay.... Quote
Aroura Posted June 21, 2003 Author Posted June 21, 2003 I want to be sure she's not just fat because I fed her too much today and then got paranoid she has bloat because of all the reading I've done on it today. She's peacefully asleep at the moment, but beleive you me, I'm keeping a very close eye on her, she's right next to me. I'm so tired myself at the moment, I can hardly keep my eyes open. But i'll stay awake until I know she's ok. Dad seems to think she's fine though. Quote
abker17 Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 Yeah, sounds like she's alright, it's good that u are keeping an eye on her though. :) Wow, u guys have a huge time difference over us, it is only 10:00 in the morning here! :o :lol: Quote
Aroura Posted June 21, 2003 Author Posted June 21, 2003 Yeah you guys are probably right :oops: After reading all these articles on it it was kind of on my mind and seeing Tessa's fat belly just tipped me over the edge!!! Sometimes she's sneaky and jumps the fence and eats the neighbours cat food - I bet thats the culprit!!! Its nearly two hours later and she is lying infront of the heater ("her" spot), now I think I'm the only one with the stomach ache, "false sympathy" I'll call it, but the pains that sharp its given me a headache!!! Well, guess I'd better get to bed, got a whole day of study ahead of me and I've got to be alive for it!!! I will get dad to keep a close eye on her though and wake me if there's any thing out of the ordinary that she does - I have a bloat site open that he can look at :wink: Well, goodnight then! :D Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 NO SHE WOULD NOT SLEEP :) I THINK SHE WILL BE OK Quote
Aroura Posted June 22, 2003 Author Posted June 22, 2003 Tessa's fine, a whole lot of panick and loss of sleep all because she over ate!!! :-? I'm kinda embarressed for jumping to conclusions like that, but I guess it happens to all over bearing mothers! :lol: I'm just glad I didn't make an emergancy call to the vets to get them here at midnight only because my dog was a little fatter than I remembered her to be that morning! :lol: Quote
Bubblezzz Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 :oops: :oops: (blush) I DID make an emergency call for this very same reason once. Turns out I had overfed him. :oops: My vet got me to give him a teaspoonful of Mylanta (the stuff WE take for gastric and indigestion), which he licked up just like that. Thank God I had it at home!! It seemed to help him really quickly. Just wanted to share the Mylanta info. :) (Mylanta by Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co. Imported by Johnson & Johnson where I am) Quote
Malamum Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 Glad Tessa is ok. :kciuki: From what I have read you well and truly know about it if your dog has bloat - they are not happy campers at all. :( I am one that is very paranoid about it though - I am so strict with the exercise and eating rule. Quote
