Corn intolerance

[shelly]

Hi I know I have visited this issue before, but.... Tori has been pretty mopey for the last 3 days or so... I always get worried when she's like this b/c of her 'stomach issues'. Thursday morning while I was at work, my M-I-L said she had a "wad of paper" under the table and would not willingly give it up... well long story short she snip/bit my MIL's hand. After realizing how wrong she was, she moped about. We thought it was b/c she knew we were angry.. but after taking her out of the car when we took her to the groomer before, she had her usual nervous bowel movement. As usual, it was very soft, BUT when we picked it off the ground, we noticed CORN kernels in it. Obviously she got into our garbage or my MIL's. My question is....she is corn free in her diet. Not even sure if it truly bothers her, but ever since we have not used a food with corn, she has been fine. Could the corn really bother her so much as to make her mopey. She did play as usual, just laid around a lot. Her eating... did not eat at all yesterday until about 9:00 pm. She usually has 2-3 meals a day. Of course the paper she probably swallowed could be filling until it all passes??? So sorry for the long post, and thank you for any suggestions.... Do you think it will pass through her system, or should I even bother to call the vet? Right now she's still at the groomer... hoping she's alright.

Shelly, I know this is bad timing because it's the weekend, but I'd get her to a vet. You don't know what else was in the garbage, and it could have been something that is causing an obstruction or worse. Corn alone would not cause behavioral changes or mopey-ness.

Karen -She's pooping normal.. do you think that something could still be obstructing???

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I don't think so in that case, but I'm not sure. I'm also concerned that the paper or whatever else she got may have been absorbent. What about water intake & output?

Came home from groomer and drank almost a bowl full of water. She ate a whole can of food and has been peeing fine. Hopefully she'll continue to be fine tomorrow. Thanks

TORIIIIIII! That doggie and her tummy! How is she feeling? Did you take her to Dr. G? Hope she is feeling better. BTW, how is her haircut?

[shelly]

Alli.... Her haircut is good considering she was sooooo badly matted! She had to shave the mats out of her neck and her chest a bit. But she's soo good that she left hair around it long so you really can't see it too much. But her neck looks long and skinny now like a girraffe. Her butt too had to be cut pretty low and she's uncomfortable.. she said iI could put powder on it, but I think I'll wait and see how bad she is....talk later gotta' go to my nephew's b'day...Ro
