his belly is really warm and theres a gurgling bubbly noise..i can even feel it when i put my hands on his belly. he is drinking alot of water..

im hoping he just had a stressful day but my gut is telling me something isnt right.. he looks normal to the eye but only a mother culd sense something is wrong.. does anyone understand?:confused: am i just over reacting
?? help:(

Bailey had a similar problem last weekend. He had diarrhea and was vomiting for no reason. He tummy was gurggling. I think it's because he had diarrhea. Maybe you should take him to the vet though? Bailey's only lasted a day and now he's ok. Especially since they can dehydrate so quickly. Just wanted to let you know I've experience the gurggling before and it was from the diarrhea, but I don't know if that's what your baby is experiencing...? Keep us updated... :)

giardia is kind of like a puppy stomach bug. It can be passed on from the mother,from drinking contaminated water(this is how most humans get it) or ingesting feces of an infected dog...ex. dog parks,public places,standing water,etc) it is characterized by severe diarhea,yes gross i kno. It is highly contagious so if you have an infected dog it is best to keep them away from your other animals. It can be passed from dog to human but it is not extremely likey as long as you use common sense like washing your hands,not putting hands in your mouth that kind of thing, it can be quite hard to get rid of so cleaning with bleach or lysol is a must!
