I hate having a sick dog, it makes me feel guilty. I don't know what was wrong with him, but I'm glad I didn't traipse him off to the vet immediately. If he'd seemed to be in pain, rather that seeming 'flat' that might have been different, but I'm assuming he had a 24 hour bug of some sort and it's all better now.
La De tucked straight into his dinner last night, after being rested from food for a day (I didn't feed any of the dogs Sunday night). There was water available, and they could have caught a bird outside if they were quick/hungry enough.
I know one of them caught a sparrow recently because there is a little spattering of feathers under the clothesline. I don't know who the culprit was, but I suspect it was Ananka. She is a bit obsessive sometimes.
So anyway, that is what I suggest you do if your dog seems a little out of sorts. No food for the day, and tea again at the normal time the following day. If the dog has the runs, or is vomiting a lot, that is an entirely different matter. They can quickly become dehydrated, and it means you'll need to see the vet.
I hope you, and I, never have that problem with our precious pooches!
