Title: Mellika Is Not Very Well
Post by: sheryl on October 24, 2007, 09:48:34 AM

I was woken this morning at 4.45 by Mellika being sick, cleared it all up and was going back to bed when she carried on being sick.  When she stopped she just huddled up in the corner of the room and growled at me when I went to fuss her - totally out of character. 
unfortunately I have had to come to work so OH has taken her to the vets, please send some positive vibes that my little girl is going to be okay.

OH has just phoned me and the vets want to keep her in and do Xrays and run blood tests, she has got a high temperature and her abdomen is very tender - I am really worried now, she was fine last night so what could have caused this ?

Thanks all, apparently she has got IBS and has got to be on a delicate diet for 6 weeks. She is feeling very sorry for herself and is definately not going to enjoy a diet of biccies for 6 weeks !!

She seems absolutely fine now and Im a bit confused because she hasnt got the symptoms of IBS, she was just really down after being sick.  I think the vet we saw just blames IBS for everything !!  >:(  blood tests and Xrays showed everything normal.  OH nearly cried when they gave him the bill - £155 and that was with no medication !

Our vet Nina who made Charlie all better is on holiday so OH had to see an Australian woman who I really dont like.
