Miss Angel is Sick

Miss Angel is a bit under the weather today. I was so glad Steve was home today. She was having trouble doing her business outside so he tried to help her. He thought she was just having a hard stool, but we watched to see if she developed any other symptoms. 

She just wasn't acting like herself at all, and then she had a little bloody diarrhea. We called the vet and luckily they had an opening, and Steve and Natalie took her in. Good thing! She had an infected anal gland, which coupled with her extreme nervousness, caused her to have a high fever. She's home now, and she's not very comfortable. I think her little bottom is sore, and her tummy is irritated too. 

Poor girl...she is on special food and antibiotics and we have to take her temperature ourselves...oh boy. 

The vet thinks maybe she chewed on her roll hide bone too much and it irritated her system, especially since she doesn't eat stuff like that very often. She seemed to think she was fine otherwise. 

Please keep Miss Angel in your thoughts as she recovers. It is so hard to see her sick! I'll be sure to keep you posted on her progress.
