Please put Gretchen on your prayer or good thoughts list.

Gretchen has not been feeling very well the last several days. Hardly eating, lethargic, and just not being herself. We took her in this morning to see her vet. Found out right away she had a fever...

I will mention that possibility today when we we see the specialists. My regular vet did inquire whether or not Gretchen had recently had any ticks on her. When I mentioned that it had been many months since any possible exposure, she did not seem to think that was the problem. Gretchen has had ticks on her in the past, but we only ever found them dead, as the Frontline+ kills them.

I am also suspicious of whether or not the combination of Metronidazole 500mg, and Amoxicillin 500mg, both twice a day, is not making her feel like carp. The described side effects of both mirror her major symptoms, at this point.
