sam_gamgeeAm very worried.
My dog Shadow, who's 11, hasn't been feeling good the past few days. I first noticed it on Wednesday when she'd didn't eat as much as usual (though, her appetite's been on the smaller side for a while and she'll eat a bit at a time, so I didn't think too much of it). Then Thursday she ate hardly anything and was moving around like she was aching all over and when I took her and Patch (our other dog) outside, her stool was on the liquidy side. So I gave her a baby aspirin and that seemed to perk her up a bit for a few hours. Then, when I got home from work today (Friday), there was a note from my dad saying he had taken her to the vet down the street (who's not our normal vet, since our normal one was closed for the day).
When they came home over an hour later, it turns out she's got some internal bleeding and the vet's not too sure where. So there were two options - surgery or medicine. My dad took the meds option. Which I think is good, since Shadow's very picky about things and, even if she has to take meds, I'm sure she'd rather be at home.
So now we're doing the finger-crossing-"Let's-hope-these-meds-work" thing.
