I'm sorry they are both sick. Prayers they are feeling better soon.

thank you ! No...I watch them so carefully...I only give them bottled water and had astro turf on the ground in their x pen so they wouldn't pick up anything on the ground,,.Go figure...I'm the one that watches out for everything so they WON'T get sick...bet the people that don't give a hoot about their dogs never have sick ones!

I asked my vet if they were contagious she told me there were no cysts in the smear and that they were not.

That has to be tough, with 2 ill at the same time. Fortunte, that this has not happened to me "yet" . Hopefully the meds will clear it all up and your family will get to go on your trip.

Did the vet say anything about probiotic yogurt for them?

Great recipe...put yogurt in a cleaned out squeeze bottle, I used a mini heinz bottle, make yogurt drops size of dimes on parchment paper or wax on a baking sheet and freeze it at least overnight.

Boiled brown rice and shredded chicken with a lil canned pumpkin is our tummy trouble cure all 3the day miracle here.

Dogs can take pepto ask vet for dosage by weight.

I asked my vet about giving them yogurt....she wasn't too keen on the idea...I am giving them fortaflora..I am going to ask again...I am giving them shredded chicken with their kibble. I was giving them pumpkin but I think by that point it was too late for the pumpkin to work,..they both need antibiotics.

thank you for the suggestion!

Thank Kirbu the Dorkie pn fb for the yogurt treats I stolw the idea.

I hope so I always give whatever meds the vet says to and then use in conjunction at home rrmedies, my vet has NO FAITH in such things but always advises me on weathee they are safe or not.

Everything helps diarrhea is no joke and not to be the taken lightly.

Your poor babies an you! Sending prayers that they will be better soon.
