Yesterday Wolfgang just layed around and woldn't eat much (about a cup of food), had no interest in playing, etc... I took his temp at 4 am and it was 104; at 6 am it was 103.2. He hasn't vomited and his stool was fine this morning... I'm perplexed. My wife has him at the vet right now. It's just not like him.
Prays for Wolfie. Hope he feels better soon. Keep us undated on how Wolfie does at Vet.
The vet said that the lethargy and lack of appetite is due to the fever which was 103 at the vet's office. I know from previous experience wlhen Wolfie was about 4 - 5 months old that his "normal" temp runs a little high (between 102.5 and 102.7) so I'm not alarmed by 103. Wolfie goes to doggie day care 2x per week (he absolutely loves it) and most likely picked up something there. Got a shot of Keflex and script for 7 days. Vet said that he may start to feel better as early as this evening. Thanks for all the positive thoughts -- it's hard when your dog gets sick -- he can't tell you like a child can. My son who is six can at least tell me he has a belly ache.
