Our cocker spaniel (Whiskey) started acting very strange other evening. He was pacing, panting, disoriented, confused, and whimpering at times. Much like me after a session at ACE club.
I googled Whiskeys behavior and found he was demonstrating discomfort and pain. Too late for a Vet so decided to take some action and at least try to give some pain relief. But how to administer the pills? Kick in the Quiche.
Evening prior, good wife had made Quiche for evening meal. (To punish me I think). I reminded her "grown men don't eat Quiche". So there was lots left over. But dog loved the "stuff". So sticking pills into Quiche was easy and voile dog was medicated.
Back to Whiskey's condition. I medicated him with some Ibrufen for pain and antibiotic. He settled down a bit. Later he had big "poop" and had diarrhea. So, thinking of times this happened to me, fed him a drotazide anti bacterial/anti spasmodic treatment. Yup, the Quiche worked great again.
Wonders upon wonder, dog sleep quietly rest of night and in morning was completely normal. However, I was still thinking about the Quiche. He was eating this under table from me evening before. Could the quiche have made him sick in first place?
Took Whiskey to vet for check up and all was fine. Not sure he was impressed with "me doctor" approach.
My moral to this story is - keep quiche in house in case dog gets sick! Only thing it's good for.
Have a good day.
