We are not too worried yet, but Susi has been sick for a few days. She has a high fever, red eyes, and is throwing up. However, she does ask for food! The vet says to starve her, difficult with Snoopy demanding food, for a few days.
Susi still enjoys walks so surely cant be very sick? I'll let you know what happens. We just worry about our fur kids.
We have just cancelled a holiday because of this.

Aw-www, I'm sorry to read that Susi's feeling poorly. Get well soon, sweet girl!

I understand perfectly your canceling your holiday.

 

[Murphys Dad]

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this Angela! I hope that Susi is feeling better soon. I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Jersey and I send lots of gentle hugs and kisses across the big pond.

Poor Suzi - Starve a beagle - the Bagel says that is cruel

I'm sure she will perk up in a day or so! Lot's of love and attention for Suzi and don't neglect Snoopy!

Yep, JoJo agrees and would like to sneak her a few treats.

Snoopy, too!

I sure hope she feels better soon. Maybe just a bug?
There will be other holidays, but it was very loving that you cancelled it for her.

Would it be helpful to keep Suzi away while you feed Snoopy?

Poor sweetie. I hope she feels better soon. I agree, it was quite caring of you to cancel your holiday to care for her.

Awww, sorry to hear this - and sending Susi lots of get-well wishes and gentle belly rubs to feel better soon. Hopefully it is just a bug or something she ate (always a strong possibility with a beagle!).

 

[Zookeeper]

Poor Susi, hope she feels better soon. I can totally relate to cancelling a holiday for a sick beagle. I hope it's just a bug and she is back to her self in no time.

So sorry to hear about Susi. Ok, I had to ask, and I even tried looking online. But you said that your vet told you to starve her? Is that a normal thing to do when your dog is ill? Sorry, just curious and not trying to criticize or anything.

 

[Murphys Dad]

Dear Susi -- please don't worry your Mom and Dad!

 

[jassy]

I am sorry Susi isn't feeling well. Hope she improves soon.

Of course, can't answer for Susi's vet but, typically, when a dog is throwing up, the protocol is to stop all food for 24 hours, then feed plain white rice in small servings for the next 24 hours and then add plain, white poached chicken to the rice for the next 24 hours. If all is kept down, then one starts to mix dog food in with the chicken and rice until you are back to normal dog food portion. It is sometimes very, very hard to withhold food from your dog and even harder if there is a second pet in the house who is eating!

Feel better soon sweet Susi!

 

[threedognight]

Gabby says that a good, long belly rub makes everything better! We all hope that Suzi will be feeling better soon.

Get well soon, sweet Susi.

 

[janna]

Poor Susi!! hope she fells better soon!! Sending hugs from the girls and me.

 

[weed30]

Poor Susi. I hope she feels better soon. It's so hard when our babies are sick because they can't tell us why.

 

[Erin]

I'm so sorry Susi is sick

It's good that you're in contact with the vet though. Prayers your way!!

 

[kgh]

Poor Suzi! Get lots of rest and get better soon. Like everyone else has said - If only they could talk and tell us what was hurting them.

Hope Susie is feeling better soon
