I have been home for a little over an hour now, and he hasn't vomited or had a stool since I've been here.
The last time he got sick, it took a round of antibiotics to get him turned around. I have a call into my vet so hopefully we can get him on something soon. In the meantime, I'm a little worried. He's acting fine (but clearly something is wrong). I can't think of anything out of the ordinary he would have eaten. The vet performed tons of labs last summer when he was sick, and didn't find anything that would be a chronic illness. Can dogs get a type of "flu"? Silly question, but just at a loss here... |
My vet says yes, they can get the Flu just like us. My little ones even have allergies (they have had sneezing episodes when I dust), but that does not sound like the Flu my babies ever got. In my little ones it was Pancreatis. One got it really bad, where he had to stay at the hospital with an IV for 2 days and the other was able to come home, but with meds. and a strict diet for both for almost 2 weeks
.
Don't take a chance and brush it off as a regular case of the Flu. It really sounds worse than that. My boy had vomited all day and had diarrhea the next day. In just that time he was dehydrated and in lots of pain. If I had not nipped it in the butt, I would be regretting it right now.
