good advise.. I have to go out of my way to get the fromm that I am now feeding and buy two largest bags I can get each time. I never thought about that going bad .. my guys do get upsets..loose stool and such from time to time..never last more than a day. I also homecook their "dinner" and freeze it. I have been freezing in smaller containers because I did worry about the fresh food going bad in the frig. if it last too long. I do have mid size dogs in addition to Remy so we go through about 4 cups of food a day... that is why I suppliment the home cook with kibble. Another bad habit I have that you made me think of; I transfer the kibble into a rubbermain container.. I don't always wash it out when I add new kibble. Very good advise.

| Testing would be expensive... sometimes an 'off' odor will indicate food gone bad. Also check for mold at the bottom of the bag. You're right though, if food, all should have been affected at the same time. Viruses usually hit anywhere from 3-21 days in between exposure and symptoms, most 7-14 days.

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | The Vet returned my call. She says it does sound like a Virus. Going to follow up with her tomorrow. She went over what to do which is exactly what I've been doing. Only thing is she said I could give Pepto Bismol 1/4 tsp. She said it did contain aspirin, but she had given to her dogs and that small amount was ok. The Emerg Vet the other night said Do Not Give Pepto Bismol as it could cause ulcers, I believe is what she said? I told her I was worried about Parvovirus & she made me feel better in that she sees it mostly in puppies. She said she has not seen in older dogs & especially ones who are updated on their shots.

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | Update & to Thank everyone for all their great advice. Hopefully, also to help others with their babies same symptoms. Vet visit today. Seems to be a Virus. Bella was given a shot for nausea & pills for diarrhea. Cole seems to be getting better today. YAY! His same symptoms have lasted about a week now. Hopefully, Bella is on her way as well. I also had Bella checked for Coccidia. We found out that our other grandoggie Noah...well, he was being treated for it & he had visited. Very strange in an older dog, but she rescued him & has no idea of his earlier shots. I wanted to cover all bases. It did not show up for Bella. So seems to be a Virus. Cole had it first....then less than a week later, Bella got it. Hope everyones babies stay Healthy! Thanks again for YT & the great members!!!
