Keiko monster - Back to normal spam ;o) (8/09)
So Keiko had an accident in our room last night - poop 
(
It was part solid, part liquid. No big deal, it was near the door (FAR away from the bed... thankfully) so it got cleaned up. She had already gone twice yesterday before bed time - which is unusual for her.
This morning I let her out of her crate, sat down to drink a glass of water before our walk and she wouldn't leave my side. A few minutes later she vomited. Gross... got that cleaned up. She did her walk, but she was pretty sluggish. Now everytime I change places in the house (couch, office, kitchen etc.) She HAS to be by my side touching me. This is REALLY unusual for her. She got a little growly with Loki earlier when he tried to get close to me, but that was corrected and now they're ok.
I just don't know if something could be really wrong, or if she just ate something she shouldn't have and she's not feeling too well. I'm going to keep an eye on her, and probably call the vet if she doesn't start perking up in a little bit/

Much love to the Monster, I hope she feels better.
I'll let y'all know what we find out later.
Keep us posted.
Anyway, she'll start a special bland home cooked diet tomorrow morning, fed 2 tablespoons at a time, making sure she's keeping it down. If she vomits at all after eating she's going straight back to the vet for x-rays/ultrasound/berium thingy. I really hope there's nothing in there that will require surgery
For now she's corralled in the kitchen so the other dogs don't mess with her and her tender areas - which she is absolutely HATING.
there's no blood, right?
scary! poor poor girl.
and poor Evan and James!!
hang in there, guys!
The vet did say she bleed a lot from the injections, which she seemed to believe was unusual... so she's not ruling out anything.
With this new knitting habit it is entirely possible she got a yarn scrap that I missed. I don't think she would swallow it, she's never ever been one to scarf down down treats or food. Always been a nibbler and light chewer on toys. The vet did suggest that's possible she and Loki or Belle were playing with yarn or something and she could have swallowed it accidentally, just being over zealous to keep her special toy away from them. I REALLY hope that's not the case, but we're going to keep our eyes on her 24/7 til she's back to her normal self.
Has there been any more vomiting?
Hopefully it is just a little tummy bug, and no foreign objects. Let us know how she is doing once you guys wake up!
Now we just have to hope that we get some solid stool. I'm going to have to call the vet to see where we go from here, and to make sure it's ok to give her water again.
Isn't it funny how we obsess over our Shibas' poop. Alot of conversations that Dawn and I have are about Katsu's poop. What color it is, the consitency, the amount. It's sick.
They suggest that she eats 1lb of the food I made for her, which is about 10x what she normally eats (in volume). She hasn't shown interest in the food after she's full, so I'm not sure if that's why she isn't going or not. Currently I have the monster under my desk and attached to my side again *sigh*
Not that I don't love her being all cuddly... it just worries me
First time in my life I cook sweet potatoes, and it's for the dog lol
If dogs could eat Korean food, I'd recommend the "fermented bean" soup. I'll tell you what, it's better than any laxative on the market. LOL
