Reece is sick and I am on my way to work!! Poor Reece went to the groomer today along with my other two...when I picked him up she said "you know he is really sick dont you?" I was dumbfounded...she said he has diarreah and is throwing up (he is not scared of my groomer and has been there many times) in the van he went all over my daughter (gross I know) and it is JUST like water...I picked up ground beef and mixed it with cooked rice..gave him some Pepto (how much should I give him?) and layed down some newspaper in his crate with a blanket and the food...he is UTD on all shots and heartworm and cant think of anything he could have gotten into..step kids were here all weekend and I hope they didnt give him something he shouldnt have..I am just on my way out the door to go to work...any other suggestions that will stop the diarreah..he isnt vomiting at all anymore and hasnt since I picked him up 2 hours ago... Dawn |
Also wanted to add that he wont eat any of the mixture but last night he ate his supper just fine... Dawn |
If his stomach is upset , you shouldn't give him food for now . |
canned pumpkin?? search that in search tool....lots of info on it. |
Ohh and maybe boiled chicken and rice instead of hamburger as hamburger may be upsetting him more due to grease content. |
NOw that my babies are older, I don't worry much about them when they go through this phase, as long as it is no more than a day or two. Most likely he ate something and his system is rejecting it (which is good) . . . Just monitor him to make sure it does not get any worse. |
Keep an eye on him and give him a bit of live yogurt, its digestive enzymes will restore the good bacteria in his gut and help him fight whatever the problem is. |
Chicken and rice usually works well. |
Thanks guys..he wont eat anyhow..but I will pick up yogurt..Im not a yogurt eater myself so can I ask what live yogurt is?? I wont worry if it dosent carry on too long..this is just the first time he has gotten sick and its frightens me to see him feeling so bad...he is sleeping in his crate and hasent had an accident since 11am..its now almost 2:30..although he hasnt eaten anything anyhow...so Ill just wait it out until tomorrow and then call my vet and make him an appointment...thanks guys!! Dawn |
Poor honey! Is he any better? You could give some Pedialyte to help give him some energy and hydration. I hope he is feeling better. |
I would suspect the kids giving him table food. As long as he doesn't get dehydrated. |
He is eating just fine...infact quite a bit and drinking just fine too...but still has diarreah but isnt throwing up at all...he didnt have any diarreah until tonight...I will see how he is in the morning and call the vet if hes no better... Dawn |
Ahhh...poor baby. I hope he's feeling better by morning. Maybe he ate something out in the yard. Maddie and Libby are always chewing on something it seems, and oftentimes, get tummy upsets. Get well wishes to Reece! It's so hard to see them sick. Hugs to you! |
The only thing I can think of is the litter box..he tends to pick out little eww morsels..its an automatic litter box so sometimes he dosent get too lucky..but he has been really good leaving that alone the past few weeks..maybe something in the yard..I just dont know...he is a bit under the weather looking..like a kid with the flu...he feels better for a while..wants to eat and drink and then hes sick again...up and down...his poo is still water and he is dry heaving a bit...right now he is resting comfortably...I hate to see my poor baby this way...:( Dawn |
well since this has gona on a few days I would take him to the vet. They can give him medicine to calm his little belly....He really needs to get some water or pedelyte in him. Good lick Dawn hopw he gets to feeling better soon! |
