My 12 year old Bichon is poorly.
We have this little routine in the morning. When I get up she barks her head off till I throw her a chewy up the hall.
I did this yesterday as usual but running to the chewy she squealed then rushed to her basket and has hardley come out since.
If she is no better by the morning it is a trip to the vets.
However all you people with special powers, I would really appreciate some of the good vibes coming her way to make her feel better.
Thank you very much.

Has she pulled a muscle? Have you seen her walking since? I'm getting left front paw?
Reiki on its way xx
RE: Doggy off colour
Thank you Doogle for your Reiki. It appears to have done something at least.
She bucked up a bit this afternoon and drank water although she has eaten much. She's been out for a walk.
Hubby decided to still take her to the vet. After relieving him of nearly£100 the vet reckons she has a virus. She has had a lot of dogs in with the same symptoms.
Still not herself though so are just hoping she will be better tomorrow.
RE: Doggy off colour
Hope your dog is feeling better now.

Thank you Rosi
Not quite out of the woods yet.
This morning while I was upstairs she yelped. Hubby reckoned he saw one of her little dry biscuits by the door and now it was gone. Hubby convinced she has trouble with her teeth. It did appear that she initially wanted to eat, then after a mouthful or two ran and hid.
I was slightly cross, that the vet when examining her, did not look in her mouth nor her ears. I would have thought that would be automatic procedure for examining a dog when the cause of a malaise isn't particularly evident. I had words with the vet and told her of my dissatisfaction and she just said the dog wasn't keen on having her mouth touched.
Anyway I was back down there today, (at least she didn't try charging me for another consultation - I didn't intend to pay). She couldn't see any bad teeth but then she couldn't really get a good look in her mouth and said maybe she had hurt her throat and that was the problem.
Her temperature has now gone back to normal and she is eating soft food such as minced steak, pichards and some of our organic chicken we had for dinner, she never normally dines on such rich fare. I am giving her antibiotics and if she isn't better then and exploratory will follow.
