We played and did some training games etc and she was eager for her treats. Then she went to sleep. Later, when I’m making her breakfast she typically comes over for a treat. She didn’t. I brought one to her and she didn’t want it. I could see from her face and the way she was acting her stomach was upset. I just could tell. Some minimal lip licking, no drooling (Jasmine would always drool when her belly was upset). This was just the facial expression, the grimasse of the mouth, the way she was overall.

At first I was worried the pancreatitis was coming back. Then I remembered that last time she was outside she appeared to had been chewing on something. But there was nothing in that area. I went to look. There was some digging and some disturbed roots. Wasn’t clear whether from the digging or whether she ate some.

Worried I went online trying to figure out what plant could the roots be of. Found out that most likely from bittersweet nightshade. Was so worried that I ended up calling Poison Hotline. And then, couple hours later she looked fine again.

Yes, it is a Cookie riddle. That’s exactly what she managed to do today, though. The farm dog she was exploring with was wet in a normal fashion. She managed to get just the rear end wet and she managed to get herself sore.

So I’m wondering whether those two are connected or happened independently.

The only way I can picture getting wet in that way would be falling with rear end only into the water while the front end still on rocks or something. Not that many rocks there, though …

Either way, she had a little too much fun.

Yeah, there isn’t, I looked. We applied in AM because this is the first time and we wanted to make sure that we could catch our vet if some reaction to it. I hate using chemicals and always worry about reactions. Ideally I’d pick earlier in the week, but there were other reasons why we couldn’t do that. So at least this gives us today and tomorrow.
