Sick Pup

I have been having a busy summer. This week has been a little more low key. Nala, my 11 year old black lab, is sick. She has had the runs since Monday. It is now Friday and I am really concerned. Living on a bus is a tough environment for a dog with bathroom issues. Several times this week she has had 'accidents', always by the front door. Like she was trying to get as close to outside as possible.

Now I have to go work the weekend and I don't like having to worry about her well being. A few months ago, she had the opposite problem. She was all stopped up. Seems my little girl has some tummy issues. Right now, based on online advice, I'm putting her on a 24 hour fast and then fixing her a rice and boiled chicken dinner. If that doesn't work a visit to the vet will be my next step.
