My dog didn't have a fun week last week. I took her to work Monday and she seemed fine all day, but soon after I got home she started acting weird. By the end of the night she just wanted to lay in bed and wasn't even picking her head up for me. She's normally a crazy dog following me around and trying to beat me to where ever she thinks I'm going.
She still wasn't right the next day and I thought maybe she just had a stomach bug, so I took the day off to grab some stuff from the grocery store and try and get her right. She would only eat the chicken and squash, but wanted nothing to do with her dog food. Which is also very unusual for her. Normally she's trying to shove her head into the food container while I'm getting a cup of it and then she's spinning in circles on the way to her food bowl.
Wednesday I called the vet and took her to work with me. When I got to the vet they pretty quickly decided to keep her there for the day. She had a fever that was also causing hives, and I have no idea what could've caused the fever. They put her on an IV and a catheter, and before the end of the day they were able to get her 104 fever down to a normal 102.
I was able to bring her home that night, and it's amazing how quickly they turned her around.
Now I'm just dealing with prednisone problems, lots of drinking and peeing. I have 1 more day of baytril to give her so I think I'll stop the prednisone at the same time. I've already gone down to half of what they prescribed her.
