Update time....
We had a good drive to the city... despite it taking four hours cause I was scared to death of the slippery roads and the fact that I didn't have the snow tires on yet (I put them in the car for extra weight though  Hopefully I can get them put on after we see the vet tomorrow)Tummies are not doing well ... actually, no real change, I guess that could be good  (as opposed to them getting worse)Molly ate a tiny bit of boiled chicken this am but that's it. Yesterdays rice came out in poop this am (only minorly formed but mostly runny) sorry about the details  After our long trip she had a couple of sips of water but i've decided to not even offer food for now, just in case the vet needs her with an empty tummy. She was eager to play ball as soon as we got out of the car so she still has her "get up and go", which is very good. We are staying at a hotel and our room is on the second floor, she was a bit pooped after climbing the stairs for the second time but that's understandable. Right now she is sprawled across the entire queen size bed (covered with a doggy blanket, of course!) and i'm typing away stuffed in a little corner. She's snoozing but having incredible dreams again, lots of running, twitching and yipping going on. Bad smells and tonnes of tummy noises too. We'll be waiting at the vets when they open at 8am! OK.... any suggestions of test I should ask for, questions I should ask? I've got to get as much info in this visit as absolutely possible... if I haven't lost my job already by taking a "sick" day tomorrow, i'm not gonna get another day to get back to the vet any time soon :sad::sad: and... not to forget the kitties... they were both active (unusually wanting to play  ) and eating as usual when I left. My neighbor will check on them but I think they are OK, just upset with all the odd food and stress.Fewf! sorry about the long post!

Thanks for all the good wishes
I'm just hoping we can find an answer ... and it's something we can deal with I really have to start thinking about moving somewhere closer to vet service... hmmmm maybe a job at a vet clinic I'm going to apply to run the new Golden Retriever Sanctuary that Canadian Golden Rescue is fundraising for

Awww, Otter, what an incredible mom you are.
 Glad that Molly is still being playful.....that is a good sign. I would definitely write down everything on a piece of paper tonight that's been going on and take it to the vet tomorrow. Also, get a blood panel done and perhaps xrays if your vet feels they are needed. I would still offer Molly something to eat as the only reason I can think of right now is that an empty stomach is only required if she needs to be put under. Good luck and will be thinking of you tomorrow.

I'm trying to recreate all that has gone on.I thought no food cause sometimes they have to be put under for xrays (though I'd hope not, I think Molly would lie still for them ) I just didn't want to have anything to have to wait cause she had something in her tummy. Now that she's snoozing away I don't think i'll wake her to eat. If she get up I'll offer something. I also gotta keep in mind we are on the second floor of a motel and it's a long walk to get outside if things don't agree with her Quote:
 Wouldn't it be great though I'm not sure if they have an actual location yet.. probably southern Ontario?? Man o man Molly is stinking up the place I'm gonna have to pay extra for fumigation services

Wow, a GR Sanctuary!
 Would that be cool or what?!  Make sure to take some stool in with you to the vet tomorrow...if Molly cooperates in the morning. It won't be any good frozen, so if you collected it tonight you'd have to bring it into the room with you and that would be ...plus the cleaning staff would have to air the room...  ...so that she obliges you tomorrow morning and you have a bag or a container to transport it in. Other than that, your vet should know what to check for. So is the weather going to clear up for your return trip tomorrow?

Wow Otter, I was so hoping it would have passed by today :sad:
Four hours drive and a hotel room When Ginger was sick they wanted to do blood tests and an xray (to see if there was something pressing on her tummy) I opted first for the blood tests as we had had one done last year and at least had a baseline to go from. They told me she would not have had to be put under for the xrays, which we did not end up doing anyways. Luckily for me the vet is only 7 mins away so we started with the blood test. In the time I was home waiting for the results she seemed to be settling down so I went into slo mo for the rest of the tests ($$$) Do try to get some food into her if you can as it could be the emptiness now that is making her feel yucky.  Do let us know what the vet says but I am sure things will seem better tomorrow.

Thanks for all the prayers.... I think we're gonna need them. I've had to leave Molly at the vets  i'm sitting here in the parking lot of the motel crying cause i'm scared to death.The vet is "quite concerned" cause she's lost a lot of muscle mass (how could I not notice  ) and she felt a "mass" in her tummy :sad: and she's quite pale (gums I guess) :sad:So, x-rays and blood work it is... at first they didn't want to do blood work, just the x-rays and I got her (the vet) to reconsider. My poooooooor baby :sad: I can't believe there may have been something I could have caught a month ago and didn't (I thought her not great eating which has been a battle for a while was just her being picky cause we were trying to switch to new food). I had her in at the vet about a month ago but she wasn't worried and I didn't press for more testing/checking. If this is something bad i'm never going to forgive myself So... I'll give the vet a call at lunch time and drop by and see my girl (I think they are less busy in the office when all the Dr.s are out for lunch) otherwise it might not be until early afternoon (3pm) before I hear anything. What a HORRIBLE day. My boss was also not happy with my phone call this morning but, phooooooooooooooooooey on work My baby is sick and that's all that matters to me. Give me a break Plus.... 10 more cm's of snow coming down. Shoot me now! I'll try and update again if I can find free wifi somewhere in town later. Please and 's for Miss MollyThanks everyone
