Beau, Saturday morning of 3/16/2024 |
Wed 3/13/2024, at Just after midnight, Beau came to my side of the bed whining, and slapping his head on the bed, which is dog speak for get up and let me out. this happens once in a while, when he eats something that doesn't agree and he eats grass and throws up and goes back to bed.
This time he ate grass and ate grass and paced. He paced and paced and I followed him, for five hours, his stomach was squealing and he could not throw up and I was afraid of bloat. I put my clothes on and told Bob i was taking him to the ER. He said before you do that, lets walk him to the corner and back. the three of us walked slowly for 15 minutes, very slowly and we stepped in the house and he went to the back door and threw up a huge pile of phlegm.
I followed him around the back yard, a new thing I do because he has started eating his own poop.. He was drinking water every hour and had 3 bowls of water in the five hours. He peed and pooped and came in an collapsed on the floor and slept for 3 hours with out moving, then asked for his breakfast, ate that and went back to sleep and slept all day and all night Thursday.
He got up to eat, pee and poop and right back to sleep.
Friday he did the same thing, eat and sleep and do his business and we thought it must have been something he ate.
Saturday morning, at 1:30 am, he woke me up and went out ate grass, threw up the grass and a little phlegm.
He has no pain, sleeps well, eats well, normal. Walks but is much slower.
Saturday early he had mucus skin on his poop ,like a sausage has on it. This is normal once in a while.
We are watching him and his poop and the silly guy that is such a good dog, is learning how to sneak his poop.
To add to them mystery, and might be the problem, I saw him pick something up, grabbed his jaws and pried them open and it was a 2 inch turd, hard as a brick, I got it out of his mouth, with my fingers and then realized it was either possum or coon turd. OV VEY!
I looked it up and him eating that is more dangerous than his own poop and also a danger to us. I wish I had not researched it.
The kicker is, a lady stopped when we were walking and said Beaus sister died last week from cancer. Cancer is of course on the list of 10 thngs that have these symptoms, which has me in a tither. Some of you might remember we met the woman when she stopped and said is that BEAU? did you get him from Manatee Shelter? turned out her sister had Beaus sister. I wanted to scream if you knew he was in a shelter why didn't you get him out.
Beau is insisting I show you St Patrick Day creations from 2022 today because I don't feel like messing with it.
Next step if any of this happens again is of course The Vet.
Wait, all Mama does is waste time. MOL MOL...
