So he seemed interested in food last night which made me feel better but I didn't feed him or give him water per the vet. When I took him to bed with me he fell into such a deep sleep he didn't stir as he usually does when my boyfriend gets into the bed. When we felt his body we could hardly detect if he was breathing which scared the crap out of me. I woke him up and he was very floppy and for a moment my heart raced and then he popped up and jumped onto the floor and chased me around jumping up and down. I felt relieved but didn't sleep a wink as I kept checking his breathing. I did give him some water at 5am and he took it. This morning at 9am I gave him his second does of diarrhea medicine and then a little water and some boiled chicken with rice. I tried to give him just a little. He gobbled it up. He is very alert and his energy seems like normal. Now we just wait and see if he keeps it down and I'll give him more. He did poop two more times at home the runny liquid but it was more brown than red this time. The vet said it could take two days for that to clear up and become solid. Eeek.
Question: Should I take him out at all or just keep him in? Also, would any of you recommend washing his toys and throwing out his chewy bones? |
So glad he's doing better, I'm not sure about the question taking him out, do you mean to go to the bathroom or to go on a walk? I don't think it's a bad idea, but I wouldn't overtire him, and I'd keep him away from other dogs. It probably wouldn't hurt to wash is toys and bones, if it's parvo though, I think, he'd be much sicker and you'd have to do more than just wash, you have to sanitize everything. Could anyone have given him a treat that you don't know about, so many people try to give mine human foods, like donuts and cookies. These things can cause vomiting and diarrhea.
