I am so sorry that your babies have been sick, but pray that it is only temporary.
It is so hard keeping their enquiring mouths from picking up bad stuff. I watch my boy like a hawk when on walks as sniffing can turn into ingesting at the drop of a hat. I try to look ahead to see what he could get at, but occasionally he does pick something up. Luckily I have caught it and been able to get it out of his mouth before it disappears. I even thought of getting a muzzle, but decided against it. I keep him on a leash outside, even for potty breaks. As for the house, I have the cleanest floors in the USA! LOL! Everything I drop is a race to get there first! He is mercurial! I even keep him out of the kitchen if I feel there is a risk he might pick up something when I am cooking.
But sooner or later he will get into something bad and probably get sick, it is almost impossible to be 100 percent secure. Then it is vet time, poor baby.
Good luck and I hope your baby gets well soon.
