Hubby had a stomach virus, I had one, and yesterday Ripley had one. She had a rough 24 hours. I don't want to go into all the details, but I'm going to have to rent a carpet shampooer from WalMart.
Poor thing. I gave her a beef bone 2 days ago and noticed she was eating a LOT of grass. Then the gas started. OY! She went downhill from there. I've tried to get her outside every 2 hours, but she did have some accidents in the house.
She slept from midnight until 6 am this morning and woke up to her usual bright & cheery self! All smiles! I fixed her some rice, apples, yogurt, and a couple of eggs. She ate all the eggs and picked around the apples. Didn't touch the yogurt. She wants her raw chicken bones, but I'm withholding them for a day to allow her stomach to rest. She IS hungry. She just isn't eating much. That's okay. She needs to rest.
Phew!
That really scared me. She's 9 1/2 years old (she'll be 10 in September), but she's still active for her age. I hope she gets over this today. Seems like we've ALL had a 24 hour bug!
Please send a little prayer for her recovery.

Feel properly better soon, Ripley.
ReplyDeleteTerrible having stomach viruses. I haven't had one in years, knock on wood. Hope Ripley gets well. She's getting into her senior years and any kind of sickness is not a good thing. I'm sure you two will live.
ReplyDeleteI hate when that happens. I'm reading backwards to catch up, so I know Ripley is feeling better. Hope you are as well.
