Weird question concerning health
|

Please don't call me crazy, I'm really confused. I'm a new owner. How do you tell that your pet is sick? My Ramona's 'poo' (so sorry for bringing this up) has changed these past two days. It's usually brownish and quite a lot, but recently it's been darker and just a small amount. Should I be concerned? The info said she's healthy, though. But I just need to know what's going on. I also have trouble with her appetite. She doesn't seem to like to eat. Whenever I'm with her, all she wanted to do is play. I have only refilled her bowl twice, and she's eight already. Is she okay?

It's not a silly question! She's fine.  If she gets sick, her status will show that she's sick. Different pets have different appetites, and as long as they are healthy, you don't need to be concerned. If she ever does get sick, though, be careful with the medicine. You can very easily kill a pet with an overdose. All it takes is two doses too close together. You should wait at least several hours before administering a second dose. As for her poo, there are a few different "poo graphics" - none of which indicate anything in particular. They just add variety to the poo corner!

I'm so sad, my pet Velcro was doing so great, he was 47 and although I had successfully nursed him through sickness twice before, this time he didn't respond. I gave him more medicine and then waited, and later found him dead. I'm heartbroken. I don't want to adopt another one, I want Velcro back. I didn't know it took several hours waiting.

Awhile ago I too accidentally killed one (of 2) of my little pets and I felt guilty and bad for a few days. Since then, I have always waited an hour between medicine doses. So, far, an hour has seemed to be a safe amount of time between doses. But if you think I have been lucky, I will wait longer. Thanks.

This is from Indon. Thank you for the replies. It really relieved me to know she's okay. Luckily I haven't tried to give her medicine, because that may get her sick. Thank you.

If your pet is sick, you have to give it medicine. If it's dead, there's nothing you can do to revive it.
