This is the first time we have had any health problems for little Penny and it has been about 8 months since we have had her. First of all, Tuesday night she had this metallic smell on her breath, kind of like iron. I was brushing her with a FURminator and she she tries to chew the brush when she sees it like its a toy. She licked me after she tried to bite it and it smelled like iron, so I thought she cut her mouth. My husband and I looked and didn't see anything. Wednesday didn't seem to be any problems, no smell. New Year's Eve the only thing to report is that she got freaked by the neighboring fireworks. Thursday morning she went out and came back in. She was sleeping with us. After she got up, I saw a tiny spot of a brownish liquid and the metallic smell was back. There was nothing the rest of the day. Thursday night, the smell is back again. This time it seems as if she could have an infection, but when we look no swelling or redness, or even discharge at either spot. This (Friday) morning we wake up to vomit all over the kennel, she vomits a little more. I call the vet and we have an appointment for 4:20 this afternoon. I'm worried, she is laying around and really looks sick. She just went to the door and cried a little, took her out, now bloody diarrhea. Cleaned up Penelope and called the vet. They asked when that started and I said just now. They put it in her notes for now. She tried to eat, but isn't. I can't get her to drink any water. She is just laying there and I don't want her to get dehydrated or anything like that. If she continues this before our appointment, should I do anything differently? Anyone have any idea what this is? BTW, there aren't any worms in anything. This could be unrelated, but I'm getting more nervous now b/c 2 nights ago I had a dream that something was wrong with her food and now she is sick. I just hope there aren't any more food issues happening.
