Gosh, I have no idea or advice, i just hope she feels better real soon. Please let us know how she is doing.
Sophie's is acting strange.
On another thread I mentioned how she wasn't eating her breakfast, and was advised to give her 2 meals a day rather than 3 1 cup portions per day. I've been doing that, and meal time is still hit and miss with her. More than half the time, Duke gets into her bowl and tries to finish it.
The dynamics here are that the dogs are gated off in the kitchen, this is where I spend my time all day long, so they're not missing out on attention at all. I do this because Duke is a rascal, he finds whatever he can, and plays, chews, breaks it. I have a messy teen daughter who is hindering their freedom
.
For the past 2 days, Sophie has been whinning and going toward the gate. Not just a bit of whinning, I mean non-stop whinning. I thought, oh maybe it's time to give them more freedom. This morning, she wouldn't come out of her crate, she just wanted to lay there, which I let her do. She didn't come out until hubster came downstairs and talked to her. Once again would not eat her breakfast. This time she wouldn't touch it at all. Instead, she went to the gate, whinned and cried and so I opened it to see what she wanted to do. For a while she enjoyed her freedom, played and explored a bit, then after that, the whinning started again. She's been laying on the couch, took a nap, while her brother explored and found makeshift toys (they played tug with daughter's bra at one point LOL!).
Sophie has be really quiet for the past couple of hours... she even threw up bile (signs that her tummy doesn't appreciate being empty). After checking her gums (good colour), her belly (soft and plyable), her vulva (not swollen or bleeding), her nipples (no swelling). I even thought maybe someone poisoned her. I'd suspect Duke would show signs if that's what happened because he's a chowhound and doesn't think before he ingests. I just don't know what can be wrong.
I'm almost thinking she's depressed... could that be? What are the signs of depression? At one point I thought could she be pregnant? There's no way Duke could have gotten her that way.. and we were extremely cautious when she was in heat. I thought false pregnancy? No swellings and she's not cuddling anything weirdly.

Pretty sad when you get 59 views and only3 responses, one of which is mine. Guess when my golden isn't up to par, even if people don't have any suggestions, it would have been nice to have some well wishes for her.
Some people just mention an ailment that their golden has, serious or not, or just a happy situation and "everyone" (often including myself) is there to wish them well. How disappointing to find out that the Golden you love so much and means the world to you... a regular here, is of no importance to but a very few here.
I thank you Amy and Mom To Max for acknowledging my Sophie
I'm going to push enter, and will almost certainly feel embarrassed about my post, but you know what? Rather embarrassed than to deny that my feelings are pretty hurt.

Sorry my advice was so alarming but after a 1000 vet bill for a 30 dollar SPCA cat (worth every penny mind you) I worry whenever anyone mentions bile along with not eating. If she did swallow something maybe it will work it's way out and this will turn into another pulling underwear out your doggy's butt story. I hope she's back to herself soon!Pretty sad when you get 59 views and only3 responses, one of which is mine.

About the hurt feelings, yes, I know that feeling. Been a bit off lately, but usually I try to take the time to respond to everyone's posts and it feels like a personal slight when they don't take the time to make a comment on yours. I don't think it's intended as such but I guess people need to remember to be more sensitive - if a pet is sick, quick post sorry to hear that, hope he/she gets well soon. Let us know how Sophie is tomorrow! And to others... I'm going to start a poll about this bile thing. Maybe I just don't have enough experience about that.
You know, I have felt the same way and I said to myself, 'fine, I can do that too'. So I haven't posted much on the threads like I used to as I found the same thing, lots of views and 3 maybe 4 replys. Now, that I know it is not just me, I will go back to posting, knowing I at least care about others' feelings, and if they don't post on my threads well, what are you going to do? I am sorry that I didn't post earlier when I read your thread the first time.:doh:Pretty sad when you get 59 views and only3 responses, one of which is mine.
