I am hopefully catastrophising but very teary for some reason.
10 year old Labrador (still my puppy!) has not been well this week. Started with bilious vomiting each morning, took to the vets mid week who gave him a good check over said all seemed ok, dogs can start doing things like this as they get older, and gave him some omeprazole. He was eating, drinking, peeing all as usual.
Friday he was sick twice - the second time was a big pool of very dark brown sludge (more like poo than affected by blood I think) rather than food. Took him to out of hours vets service our vets outsource too. They checked over again, said seems ok and gave him an anti sickness jab. An expensive 20 min consult and jab (£406!) but would rather be safe than sorry.
Seemed a bit out of sorts yesterday, but still eating, drinking and peeing, no more sickness so thought just recovering himself. Gave him something to eat late last night, as vet said could help with morning bile problem if tummy not empty for too long overnight, which he ate ok - not enthusiastically, but thought that was just because he was confused getting fed at a different time.
Today, still no sickness, but he is very lethargic, noticeably wobbly walking, wouldn't touch his breakfast (never refuses food!), tail down not a single wag, won't even come for a pat, left a wet patch on the carpet from drooling. So he is back at the out of hours vets again with dh (while I wait for Tesco delivery!), they have looked over again and said abdomen, temperature, heart, lungs etc all still feel/sound good. dh texted to say they have given him another anti sickness jab and have taking bloods because dh asked for more to be checked.
Are we over reacting (and spending a fortune at the vets for no reason), he just doesn't seem right...
