Am 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.

Prayers going out for your dog. I've been through similar stuff fairly recently with my own animals (well, not actually mine anymore, weh), and it's really Not Fun.

Hope all turns out well for you and Shadow.

I hope Shadow gets better. *hugs*

*hugs* I hope she feels better soon! Poor Shadow! It's hard to deal with pets being hurt, because you can't tell them "This will make you feel better."

*double hugs*

I hope everything works out all right. You and Shadow are in my prayers. I have way too much experience with my "critters" being sick so I know how upsetting it is.

((hugs)) for you and **scritches** for Shadow

*crosses fingers* I hope the meds are going to work and that she'll be okay soon. *hugs*
