That sounds like salmonella actually. Has she been around raw meats recently? Bring her to a physician soon. It could be serious if not treated, but otherwise it should just run its course.

Yep, she has it. I just got over it, but i didn't have the vomiting, or diarrhea. Be really nice to her, and get her water. She won't be hungry though, at least i wasn't. I had loss of appetite. I slept for 2 days straight, and couldn't get out of bed.

So far, most swine flu cases have been mild, with symptoms similar to those of seasonal flu. Only a small number of people have had more serious symptoms. If you or a member of your family has a fever or high temperature (over 38°C/ 100.4°F) and two or more of the following symptoms, you may have swine flu: unusual tiredness, headache, runny nose, sore throat, shortness of breath or cough, loss of appetite, aching muscles, diarrhoea or vomiting.

How do I know if I have the flu? fever (although not everyone with flu with have a fever) cough sore throat runny or stuffy nosse body aches headache chills fatigue sometimes diarrhea and vomitting What should I do if I get sick? If you get sick with flu-like symptoms this flu season, you should stay home and avoid contact with other people except to get medical care. Most people with 2009 H1N1 have had mild illness and have not needed medical care or antiviral drugs and the same is true of seasonal flu. However, some people are more likely to get flu complications and they should talk to a health care provider about whether they need to be examined if they get flu symptoms this season. They are: •Children younger than 5, but especially children younger than 2 years old •People 65 and older •Pregnant women •People who have: ◦Cancer ◦Blood disorders (including sickle cell disease) ◦Chronic lung disease [including asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)] ◦Diabetes ◦Heart disease ◦Kidney disorders ◦Liver disorders ◦Neurological disorders (including nervous system, brain or spinal cord) ◦Neuromuscular disorders (including muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis) ◦Weakened immune systems (including people with AIDS) Also, it’s possible for healthy people to develop severe illness from the flu so anyone concerned about their illness should consult a health care provider. There are emergency warning signs. Anyone who has them should get medical care right away. What are the emergency warning signs? In children •Fast breathing or trouble breathing •Bluish skin color •Not drinking enough fluids •Not waking up or not interacting •Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held •Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough •Fever with a rash In adults •Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath •Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen •Sudden dizziness •Confusion •Severe or persistent vomiting Do I need to go the emergency room if I am only a little sick? No. The emergency room should be used for people who are very sick. You should not go to the emergency room if you are only mildly ill. If you have the emergency warning signs of flu sickness, you should go to the emergency room. If you get sick with flu symptoms and are at high risk of flu complications or you are concerned about your illness, call your health care provider for advice. If you go to the emergency room and you are not sick with the flu, you may catch it from people who do have it Are there medicines to treat 2009 H1N1? Yes. There are drugs your doctor may prescribe for treating both seasonal and 2009 H1N1 called “antiviral drugs.� These drugs can make you better faster and may also prevent serious complications. This flu season, antiviral drugs are being used mainly to treat people who are very sick, such as people who need to be hospitalized, and to treat sick people who are more likely to get serious flu complications. Your health care provider will decide whether antiviral drugs are needed to treat your illness. Remember, most people with 2009 H1N1 have had mild illness and have not needed medical care or antiviral drugs and the same is true of seasonal flu. How long should I stay home if I’m sick? CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other things you have to do and no one else can do for you. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine, such as Tylenol®.) You should stay home from work, school, travel, shopping, social events, and public gatherings. What should I do while I’m sick? Stay away from others as much as possible to keep from making them sick. If you must leave home, for example to get medical care, wear a facemask if you have one, or cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue. And wash your hands often to keep from spreading flu to others. CDC has information on “Taking Care of a Sick Person in Your Home� on its website at cdc.gov/ h1n1flu/ guidance_homecare.htm

Its basically just like the flu symptoms the only way you will truly know is if you get it checked out. my aunt at the moment has swine flu and she had the flu first and she has to have had it for three days for her to fully know she has it.

Sweetie I don't think you should be worrying about your mom, im pretty sure she has it under control, but these are the symptoms: unusual tiredness, headache, runny nose, sore throat, shortness of breath or cough, loss of appetite, aching muscles, diarrhoea or vomiting. I have all of those symptoms and I went to the doctor today and thankfully tested negative :D but I went ahead and got my H1N1 and my Flu shots.

Posted by: mariee921 on 2009-11-03, 12:54:01

That could be seasonal flu, the only way to know for sure is to go in and get tested. I thought I had a bad cold but actually had H1N1 - a bit of a shock but I wouldn't have known if I hadn't gone in to get tested.
