Our beagle isn't well. She's lost weight recently, but I changed their food around a bit with the intent she loose weight (she was becoming a barrel), but she's gone a bit far the other way (in my opinion anyway. On the scales, she's right where she should be). I haven't reduced her food, just cut out feeding her in the morning and giving that amount to her at dinner time, with her normal dinner.

Yesterday, we picked them up from the kennels. The kennel staff said they had both been their normal happy selves. Gave them dinner last night, wolfed it down as normal.

Got up this morning and she'd been sick and has got the runs. It's obvious which dog it is because our co cker spaniel is bouncing around like normal and our beagle is just sad and mopey. I tried to give her some food, and she just had a nibble.

Took her to the vet this morning, she's had two injections, one an antibiotic, the other an anti-inflammatory. Told that she either has a gastro-like bug, pancreatitis or a parasite. I had to put her on boiled chicken and rice. The vet said she wasn't dehydrated "yet". We had the choice of taking her home and returning in 24 hours for a follow up and more antibiotics in tablet form, or leave her there for blood tests and on a drip, no food or water for a few days. She said 90% of dogs pick up after the injections, suggesting that it's gastro.

So we brought her home and she ate some food and has kept it down. She perked up a little. But as the day has gone on, she's gone back to mopey and sad and she's just picked at her dinner. Me thinks I'm going to have to take her to dog hospital tomorrow and leave her behind.

Makes me so sad. She's beautiful and part of our family. And her buddy will be beside herself being alone. I'm hoping she picks up overnight
