undisputed 1,664 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Well as quick as she went very distresed , she has now walked from the crate, stretched tail wagging & dived her head in the peddle bin looking for food as though nothing happened , so after mithering me to the point of a bloody breakdown she appears fine I will watch her for the rest off the day & make sure she dosent start coughing or get any worse Thanks for the replies & advice everyone, much appreciated sounds like she's had a mild concussion, maybe banged into your terrier or something when she's been running...same thing happend to my bitch after chasing a rabbit, she became very sluggish about 15mins or so after the chase and had to be lifted back to the car but she recovered on the way home.

Other than that she didnt show any other signs, i checked her gums & they were nice & pink still, i honestly dont know if this dog tires really quickly , we deliberatly made sure she had just a couple of quick runs no more than seconds actuall running & then she was put back on the lead again , she seemed happy to trott along side the terrier who is impossible to tire , other than that she rolled in the grass a few times & seemed perfectly ok untill we got back onto the path Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 well before all this kerfuffle with the dog i managed to get a couple of pics of her then the batterys died She isnt keen on the camera flash so looks away when the camera comes out , so its dificult to get a nice pic off her now even when the flash isnt needed Quote Link to post

cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) Perhaps she had to take a shite really bad. My dogs will pant like mad when they have to go. Sometimes they get uncomfortable and dont find a good place to releave themslelves and just stand there panting. Also isnt panting one of the beginning indications of 'gastric torsion'?

Never ever let her run or jump with food in the stomach. It could kill her. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...st&p=295999 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_torsion Quote Link to post

Fishin_mad 0 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 I alway understood Grass Snakes were venomus, however it has no effect on humans. If you a very small mamal or insect I think they are very venomus so not sure about the effect it may have on a dog. Steve Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,003 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 IF YOU WANT TO GET WATER IN A DOG FAST , ADD A SMALL AMOUNT OF MILK TO IT , PERHAPS JUST A 1/4 OF A CUP TO PINT OF WATER , MINE WILL DRINK THIS DOWN IN ONE GO . OR THE WATER OF BOILED UP RABBITS , THAT GOES DOWN AS WELL.. I ALSO REMEMBER SOCKS MENTIONING SOMTHING ABOUT HEART WORM, A FEW WEEKS BACK. CHECK THAT OUT AS WELL Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted May 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 If she had been bitten or stung wouldnt she have hypersalivated , there was no sighns off that when she panted, but she is back to normal now So the lessons i have learned are take water with me on walks incase it happens again & i will look at heartworm & then take it from there & get it treated if thats what it is Thanks to everyone for the valuable advice its much appreciated Quote Link to post
dickyboy 1 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 my bet shes was stung by a wasp probably a queen for a dog her size, i'm a pest controller and been stung a few times, i get heavy breathing, and feel woozy, i have to sit down and feel very sluggish like i have no energy, very lathargic for about half an hour. I'd put a lot of money on it being a sting!! The problem with stings is they have a high residual toxicity, as in it stays in the body fats for many years therefore the more you get stung the worse the effective, i used to have no reaction, i have to take antihistamine as every day of the wasp season or as soon as i'm stung, the other option is an epipen to stop the anaphalatic shock if your concerned for the dogs safety and sounds like she reacts badly its worth talking to vet for your options Quote Link to post
