Hi Everyone, has been sometime since I last posted and have been in grievance
since I lost my oldest Chi to diabetes on April 15th at 11:50 pm, he would have
been 13 years old on May 24. Although people have told me I should remember he
is not suffering and going through the daily shot routine I found myself
feeling that I could have done more 8-( He struggled with diabetes for many
years even with the prescription dog food from this vet it just seemed that
weekend he was ready to give up. I sure do miss him especially when it came to
his routine of feeding and giving his shots and looking over at places he used
to lay and he would not be there.
I have 2 1/2 Chi's now that I love also and they need me to, so I have to carry
on with them but I will never forget my Mickey we had him since he was 8 weeks
old and so tiny. The reason I say 2 1/2 is that I have 2 (brother and sister)
that are 3 years old and we rescued a 1/2 Chi 1/2 Jack Russel that was 2 years
when we got her and she is going on 5 years now.
I'm sorry, I got into talking about my big boy passing and really was wanting
some advice on what is happening to my baby girl Chi tonight.
She was lying on the couch with me and she started licking my legs profusely
and then she got out from under the sheet that was over us and she was
continuously swallowing non stop, then she got down she is now licking
everything the carpet the kitchen floor, boxes, table legs. I had heard that
sometimes when dogs get sick they eat on grass in order to throw up what is
bothering their stomach. So, I went out and got various grasses (no danger of
anything on it because we do not use pestasides in our yard, and I run them
through water to wash off any dust that might be on them) she ate them like she
was starved to death I have never seen her eat that fast. The other 2 dogs
smelled of them but just walked away. I have not given her any more even though
she seemed to love it because I do not want to overdo things with her. After
she ate them she just continued to go back to licking everything. I was just
wondering if anyone in the group have ever seen a Chi do this.
I have no way to get her to our vet or the ER my vision is not good and I have
no car have not driven in about 3 years. I do not live in a big city with pay
rides and have no family or friends here yet, so I really hope someone can get
back to me about her, I'm getting really afraid that something is very wrong!
She is now coughing and still licking. Should I crate her to keep her from
licking the floors and everything? That in itself worries me she will get hair
off the floor.
Thanks To Anyone who can help me understand what is going on with her.
