KelliePup Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Does anyone's BC have days where they want nothing more than to just sit next to you and sleep? Kellie's been doing that all day and I'm starting to worry a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Scott Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I'd worry, too! How old is Kellie? Barb S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelliePup Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 18 months. She's been sleeping most the day now. I tried to initiate some play, but I only threw her ball twice before she retreated to her crate with it. She didn't want anything to do with her stuffed sheep, or her tug rope either. BTW, I'd love it if you could get me in touch w/ some people. I live in Kalamazoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellie's Dad Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 It could be possible that she may have a little storm phobia. Our Nellie is afraid of storms, and can sense when they are coming, usually at least a day before they arrive, and will generally stay in her crate or her "den" in the living room and not really want to move. Nellie is 4 years old and we have had her for a year, so we are not sure when this behavior started. I know there is a front near us now and she wants to go out, but will not go out the dor without being coerced. It isn't even raining or even cloudy, but she just knows it will storm any minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelliePup Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Thx for the advice. It would be new if she did. Here are her symtoms: lack of energy (ears and tail droop while she's up, even when she waggs her tail). Extended periods of sleep longer than normal urination and (I just found this out while petting her) her stomach is slightly distended. Now I'm getting really worried. She also didn't eat today again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I'd be calling my vet first thing. Might be nothing - but it doesn't hurt to be told you're a panicking parent - I'd rather that than miss something important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelliePup Posted September 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 We're gonna get it checked out later today. I'm sure the vet will think I'm nuts though, Kellie seems fine this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitch Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Could she be constipated? The one time Dublin was, he pretty much slept all the time and didn't want to do anything. I brought h im to the vet and they did an xray and discovered a lot of 'stuff' in his bowels that wasn't getting moved properly. A few rounds of medicine and he was back to new! Good luck and let us know what the vet says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urge to herd Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Glad you're getting a vet check. Could be something simple, like constipation or even a UTI, (which can make a human feel like they've been hit by a truck.) Or it could be a bit more serious. Hope it's simple and that Kellie feels better soon! Ruth n the BC3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailrider Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 And don`t forget to take her temperature at home so you can report and compare with the vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelliePup Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Thx all for the care and concern. I took Kel to the vet yesterday (a little constipated, but okay and back to her charming energetic self) I also found out why she acted the way she did, and that (cuz I though it was funny and wanted to share w/ everyone) I posted in the general section under the title "How the brat fooled me."
