| Dogs got sick from Central Bark Dog Park! Starting this as a new thread so hopefully more people will see. I just got these emails from my meetup group. Dogs got sick after attending the meetup! See below: By the way, just wanted to ask anyone who was at the meetup on the 5th at Central Dog Park in Irvine ….did anyone have any of their pups get sick at all?? Perhaps a stomach flu? I had to rush Bentley in Monday evening after work to the Animal Hospital ….after a scare of not wanting to eat much since Friday the 11th…and all weekend and then Sunday night bouts of diarrahea and seemed to have been drinking more water than normal. By the time I got home Monday after work she threw up about 3-4 times and 3 were a mixture of mucous and blood which of course scared the heck out of me! Once I took her in and they checked her out, they gave her 3 injections…(one of them electrolytes) and an IV of fluids (was told she was dehydrated) and they took a stool sample which by the next day luckily came back all negative for Ghiarrdia, and any other possible causes…tapework, etc. They gave me antibiotics and another pill to give her…and as of this morning she seems to be doing better after looking like she had no energy and Monday night woke several times as if she were dumbfounded and staring into space. So, just wanted to let everyone have a heads up, yes dog’s can get the stomach flu, and hope that’s all it was...an expensive night that was. L Just wanted to have everyone beware of the rain and puddles (since we have had a lot of rain) the possibility of Ghiarrdia is much greater so I was very worried! Just another reason why the dog parks I have been trying to stay away from more so….so, if anyone can please find a park that we can have the dogs run loose would be great! The dog park in Fullerton seemed to be a bit dirty as well with what looked like dog owners with large dogs frequenting there did not pick up after their dogs and it was hard to keep our small dogs away from the mess. L I know Jennifer is doing a great job of trying to find another park…so, if anyone knows of somewhere please let us know!! Thanks so much! (P.S. Since most of us are in the Orange County area somewhere out here would be better I think?) Everyone Agree??? Yes, both Phaedra and Loki had diarrhea and decreased appetite for a couple of days afterward. I put it down to the contamination at the park. Then, 4 days after the event, Loki started croaking, this progressed to sniffing and coughing,….trip to the Emergency hospital in the evening…$270.00 later… kennel cough, which the vet was certain he contracted at the dog park. I think most of our babies are used to such clean environments; they probably have little resistance when confronted with a lot of contamination. I probably won’t attend another in a dog park, but plan to go to Passionate Pet in Jan. I won't be going to dog parks anymore. I've been taking Uni to a people park with a fully enclosed baseball diamond and let her run around there. It's in Anaheim/Placentia area, we go every sunday afternoon if anyone is interested.

| We also attended that meetup and Zeke became sick two days after. He is still recovering, not all of his symptoms are gone (still congested). I am thinking about taking him in to rule out kennel cough even though the vet never mentioned this as a reason to why he is sick. We loved the meetup but i just wish our first meetup didnt end this way. I dont think I will be taking Zeke to that dog park anymore Thanks for posting! |

| Yikes! That sucks. I love our local dog park around here. I think it's rated #2 or #3 in the country or something like that. I've been lucky but there was kennel cough going around the park in early May or something like that. I guess it's just a risk you take but luckily, people keep ours pretty darn clean. I wish I could find a park fenced in though that's not specifically for dogs... it'd be nice to do some training with Jackson, etc since my backyard is not fenced.

| I just been taking Uni to parks that have baseball diamonds. There is usually at least one that is fully fenced in. Last time we did see a BIG poop there though. Then again, there is a homeless guy that hangs out there, so who knows maybe it was not a dog poop. LOL Ok that made the park sound totally gross, but its not that bad.
