My Izzy

My shitz-tsu mix has been gradually becoming less active to the point she is just laying around and doesn't feel like doing anything.  I took her to the vet 8 days ago because I was worried about her.  The vet checked her and said her stomach might be distended some but nothing serious.  She only gets up when she has to.  She has been getting up and barking when she needs to go to the bathroom only.  I am very worried about her.

"Might be Distended" is NOT good enough!  How old is this girl? When was her last blood work done? You need to have her thoroughly evaluated...This could be so many things that it would be impossible for us to guess w/these few symptoms....

Can you provide us any more details? I agree w/Lindapalm.....Your Vet did not do a sufficient job!

Anything else would be helpful, then maybe we can point you in the right direction......You DO need a new Vet to evaluate your girl..........Karla

Your vet said: "The vet checked her and said her stomach might be distended some but nothing serious" is that it?  What caused it, will it resolve heal on its own.  What are the expected effects?

How old is your dog?

Has her diet changed, does she still eat normally?
