Yes, we went to the vet, and they are on the mend. They didn't have coccidia or giardia. Doc said it was a "bug/virus"...don't know where it came from. They haven't eaten anything weird, we have been nowhere, no one has come to visit. Started with Phoebe vomitting one day (over and over for about 10 min)....then that's all she did. Maybe 24-48 hrs later, Felicity threw up in her kennel at night and then commenced to have diarrhea for three days.... Sunday night, Cassidy was whining in her crate, and I check on her and she had thrown up...very mucousy. She threw up several times for the next few hours...had diarrhea twice. No one is having diarrhea or vomitting anymore. They are eating and drinking again, thank goodness...no more syringing water down them. There was no accompanying fever with any of them. They are all up to date on their wormings and vaccinations also. And I even checked my yard for mushrooms, standing water, or dead rodents. My dogs are never unsupervised, so I can't imagine that they got into something. I don't even leave them in our fenced yard for 10 seconds without being out there.
Anyhoo...they are on the mend.. but Felicity has redness under her peepee and it seems like it's sore. She seems better this evening...this morning she kept sitting down suddenly, which is why I did a closer inspection.
I would think they should not lick vaseline or neosporin or desitin, so I have not put anything on it. Any ideas? Maybe it will clear on it's own now that she is not pooping every 20 minutes!
thanks! |
