| Oh Nicole! Poor TJ! You are right about the IBD. Normally their tummies make so many noises. That's how it was with Maddie too. I hope and pray this is nothing serious and that he gets over it quickly. The metronidazole really works well and quickly when Maddie has flare ups. If you get some for TJ, just to warn you, it's awful tasting stuff, so you'd have to hide it in something that he would eat...or, like my vet does, he gives me some of those little pill casings to put it in so there is no taste. Hugs to you...get well wishes to TJ!

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | Aw poor TJ. Have you tried giving him plain low fat yogurt? i usually give this to morgan when i suspect her tummy is upset and she has the squirts. It usually helps and she loves it

| Well.... It's not the pizza crust Before bed, Roxy had gross mucus poops. At 3 am she started to have the *Squirt* poops ~ same as TJ. I think the dog that had diarrhea on my patio on Sunday has infected TJ who now infected Roxy. I am assuming Giardia. I have poops sample from 6 am from both TJ and Roxy and I am going to the Vet for 8 am ~ hopefully they will see right away from the samples, and I will get the Metro for them both Does anyone know when their poop should get better Figures, I am suppose to fly Friday nite, and this is *big* mess will have to be handle by hubby ....oh great! TJ just had a little squirt and he licked it ...........WHY IS THIS HAPPENING.................. Last edited by TLC; 05-14-2009 at 03:31 AM. |

when you take the fecal sample make sure they do a float and a direct. Giardia usually can't be found on a float which is what they usually do. hopefully its not that becuase it can be a pain to get rid of. maybe the dog just passed on a little stomach bug. you'll probably get metronidazole for both of them. i usually give yogurt while i'm giving this med since its an antibiotic. i have the liquid version since its easier to administer and it tastes better

| oh no poor babies and mommmy!!! My baby had giardia when she was a puppy. It's so hard to get rid of. Yes make sure you tell hubby to clean well. I think it took a little while for sophie to get over. hope your babies feel better soon! |

| This sucks Having 2 dogs *squirting poop* is not fun! Well, I will have fecal results soon. In the meantime, I got the Metro and already gave them their first dose. Now I am gonna try to feed a little yogurt (thanx Kellie) and hope for the best. I think I will have to at least delay my flight until Sat AM - if not cancel it altogether |

Marcel had Giardia twice as a pup (reinfected) - I'd say after starting Metro, the poos became more firm fairly quickly. But bc he was a pup, he had ongoing problems for quite awhile (which shouldn't really happen w/ your babies, as adults). If it is giardia, then the key is cleaning, as you know. I used clorox spray everywhere I could. Hang in there...

As it is, this is horrible...and I can only imagine, if this is G and - oh man.... I will have to cancel my trip, bc even though hubby will take care of them, he also has to work, so between feeding them special food, washing butts, washing the blankets, and cleaning the floor, etc...I think it's just gonna be too much P.S. There is trace blood in the globs.... | |
