He said it is gastroenteritis.
Can be caused by nutrition ie food change, virus or parasite (ie giardia).
He didnt think it was the food change, usually diahorea is the only sympton.
She wouldnt even lift her head when I got home from work, was vomitting, wouldnt even eat chicken, and was constantly pooing (though it was just liquid coming out of her).
He said there have been a lot of dogs in recently with diahorea, but as she is so small and young, it can be a lot more serious than a adult dog.
Her temperature was very high (104).
He gave her an antibiotic and antiinflamatory to try and get the temperature dog. she wasnt dehydrated, and he said she was alert enough not to need a drip, he would just inject the scruff of her neck.
He said he wouldnt try feeding her to tomorrow afternoon.
After 48hrs tests would be done on a stool sample if no better.
When I seen her tonight it was just like when Millie was dying. I have such a bad feeling. She deteriorated so quick. She was fine at 9.30am and by 12 noon she wouldnt get up, was cold and lifeless, and vomitting.
