Congratulations on your new home. I'm glad your girls did great in the car, but it must have been so awful with them being sick. Before Katie, we had three little Yorkie sisters who all had the same sire and were within a year of each other. We went away once, and they stayed with our closest friends for thirty five years. Our girls loved them, and they loved our girls. All three got sick within a day of our leaving. She took them to the vet, and he put them on Flagyl. We came home early. The next time we went away our dear friends stayed in our home instead of theirs, and it worked out better. Kiwi, our alpha, eventually ended up becoming so sensitive, and she got very depressed when we went away. She had chronic colitis, and we no longer could leave her, so we stopped going away unless our girls could go with us. It was a very small sacrifice to make for all the love they brought into our lives.
I hope your girls will be back to normal soon. I give Katie probiotics daily. My dear friend was getting cut Tylan powder (small amount of Tylan mixed with unflavored Metameucil) from her vet to use when her dogs had upset stomachs. She only uses it for occasional issues but not if they are sick. It works great, but I check with my vet usually about most things. |
