Tequila at the Vet's

A couple of weeks ago we had to take Tequila to the vet's. A couple of days prior she had the runs in the middle of the night, it stunk so bad it woke me up from a dead sleep. I got up and let her outside while I cleaned up the mess and sprayed a lot of air freshener. I didn't think anything of it until the next day, she was vomiting and got really shaky for about an hour. Then she seemed okay. The next morning I went to my basement to wash a load of laundry, when I discovered that she had snuck down there and had a few accidents on the floor that looked like nothing but blood. I immediately made her an appointment. Since she was acting okay I waited until the following day when they could get her in.

It's a mad house here whenever you get out a leash...they all start running and howling and they all think they are going somewhere. I was able to get a stool sample hot out of the dog to take in to the vet's, since it had firmed up again. So I have a zip-locked bag of poop in a plastic grocery bag trying to wrestle the dog I needed out the door. She is thin and petite, but pulls like a dang ox. I almost fell trying to hold onto her and get her into the van, since the sidewalk was all icy and she was pulling like her life depended on it.

We finally arrive at the vet's and as we waited in the lobby she was checking out the life size Great Dane statue in the corner. She was sniffing it all over making friends with it. The receptionist had taken her stool to the back for the Doctor to check. She asked me if I could of brought a smellier sample. It was bad...kinda had like a burnt rubber smell to it. She then proceeded to ask what kind of food she was eating. I told her Alpo Prime Cuts. She then looked puzzled and asked if we lived on a farm, since they found an oat seed in the stool and they wondered where she could of ate it. I then had to tell the lady that Tequila had felt it necessary to sample the hamster food a few days prior while I had the lid off the container while I was feeding the hamster. She said that explained it with a laugh.

Tequila was diagnosed with worms and given medicine. She is now feeling better and acting like a nut again. She is worse than the puppy. She has been chewing stuff up and extra hyper. The other day she almost knocked my husband over. She was so excited he was home that she sprung off the couch like a rocket and directly into his chest throwing him back a few steps.
