Took Sebi to the Vet Today Over the past 1.5 days, Sebastian has been clingy, unactive not eating much and his tummy was making loud sounds.. No vomit and I had not been able to catch a stool sample. This morning my dh yells out Sebastian just went on the carpet. His stool with tar-like, dark and with a tint of red. I freaked out.
Called the vet went in right away. He said he probbaly has a stomach bug, not to worry. Than he asked have you changed his food, YES, I have been intergrading Dick Pattens Raw Food. He said don't give any more. raw food is a good concept IF we had wild dogs, but they have been breed so much and domesticated that they require cooked food because with these little dogs they can't breakdown any weird parasites. He said any holistic food is OKAY, but NO RAW. He recently had a golden retreiver that got a piece of RAW steak got sick and died.
Then as the vet examines Sebastian he said Sebastians 2 hind knees get dislocated and he will probably need surgery when he's between 7 and 9 (currently 1.5). The vet said its very common in small dogs and is heriditary.
