Mosha Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 She got the seed stuck in her throat. She hadn't eaten for a few days so we spooned a raw egg into her. A few hours later she regurgitated the egg and the seed from the palm oil fruit., Up until then she acted as though she was in pain if you touched her head and throat. She is quit ie not barking, which may be a sore throat. We got a food supplement ftom the vet, nut we have to spoon it in. She will drink it when she is thirsty, but otherwise won't eat anything. Any ideas please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyG Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Take her to the vet to check whether her throat has been damaged. Rather than give her water, give her goat milk since it will give her a bit more nourishment. What food are you making available to her? If it's dry, then try soaking it in water for an hours or so to make a mushy porridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosha Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) We've tried offering what we know she likes. This is what the vet gave us http://www.petworldcenter.com/product/pro_detail.php?cid=1&cid_pr=1&pid=31&cname=Product%20of%20Petme&show=0〈=eng We can try mushing up dog food. Plus some tablets company may be Disemco. They are mustard coloured about the size of those bonze coins you get in chanfe that are useless 555. Is goats milk safe? I googled milk in general and it warned about lactose. Thanks for your input. Last time I had this not eating was when mum died, that was easy, we just waited the dog out and after 10 days she was eating again. This is harder.

rijit Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Hopefully nothing serious. I'm trying to brainstorm here!!! have u tried things like washing her just little things that she may like that wont cure but might make her feel a little better. Ive found when ill a rise in spirit , for animal or human, is always of benefit. rijit Edited July 12, 2015 by rijit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijit Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Oh if you think its her throat and your into spoon feeding her you could try getting some gel from the leaf of an allou vera plant down through her throat very soothing and calming effect on irritations. rijit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyG Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Is goats milk safe? I googled milk in general and it warned about lactose. Goat milk is definitely safe for dogs. It's also widely available in supermarkets here, in bottles, cartons and tins. You can also buy tins of "puppy milk*". It's more expensive, but you may consider it if you're not 100% convinced that goat milk is OK. * That's milk made for puppies, not milk produced by them.

faraday Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Used to have a long haired Dachshund many years ago, & he got a severe upset stomach from something, & wouldn't eat. I minced up some chicken very finely & he ate little bits, eventually recovering. It's such a worry though, I do understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyG Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I minced up some chicken very finely & he ate little bits, eventually recovering. I suspect dogs have different tastes. Mine really aren't interested in chicken breast at all. However, given them chicken liver and they go wild. (Generally, the stinkier the food, the more they like it. Blue cheese is a particular favourite. Ox liver jerky and they practically bite my fingers off to get it.) The OP might care to try a little finely diced, lightly cooked, chicken liver. It's nice and soft so should slip down easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konying Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 most likely needs a course of antibiotic as there is an inflammation. take her to a good Vet for a check, if in Pattaya, go to Dr Sumadee on Sukhumvit Road, right across soi 46/3 fluent english and accreditation from USA.

hawksway Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The Vet may take a biopsy but if that does not reveal a blood infection then ask for a high resolution CT Scan (not low res Xray) which should reveal any tissue damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konying Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I am only guessing but I think the seed cut through some skin, little inflammation and infection. Dog likely also has a fever and loss of appetite . Moshe if swelling is large, I am afraid you may need to make 3 trips or leave the dog at the vets for 3 days because it will not be able to swallow the pills. Another option I developed is to crash the pill, mix with water until totally dissolved and feed it through syringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money is tight just now and they want 4000 Baht for lodging. I'll take the meds and mash.She's alert, and hasn't thrown up today. That's progress. Ypu can't feel a swelling and since the seed was regurgitated, she doesn't try to avoid her head/throat been touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosha Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 We've 2 other dogs, it took a couple of hours to persuade then to stay in the house. At 1st they were just staring at the house. A similar experience in the UK. The 2nd dog we had would occasionally sleep in her predecessors place. She would wake up with a yelp and move, then stare at the spot.
