Hi I am new to the forum I hope you can help me. I have a 15 month old poodle..who I adore. These past few days she has been crying "a lot" I took her to the Veterinarian and he said she looked fine just kind of tender by her stomach, he wanted to take x-rays and a blood sample but costs too much....I took her home she doesn't want to eat all she does is hide under my bed..I am so sad because I went through a bad experience with puppies already and the turnout was devastating..I do not want to go through that again..she has all her shots she ate a little bit last night and she drinks a lot of water..her stool looks normal...could it be worms? she's been playing witth the dog next door don't know if he's vaccinated...I am so worried please help!!!

Well, I would put some of the stool in a plastic bag right before seeing the Veterinarian (needs to be fresh pooh), make an appointment now, illnesses effects dogs faster then me an you, they react much quicker the humans.

The Veterinarian can examine the fecies for ANY abnormalities VERY quickly. (they are quite used to looking at pooh, to put it bluntly...)

The Veterinarian might not even charge you, if the Veterinarian does charge for this, it will be very minimul.

Good luck!
