Spring 5 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Just a quick post to see if anyone has any ideas. Both dogs (Deerhounds) at vets, on drips, very dehydrated. Our bitch was very ill (vomit and diarrhoea) on Tuesday, straight to vets and onto drip. Our dog started showing some of the symptoms yesterday (but not as bad) so again to vets and on a drip. Vet seems to think some kind of severe gut infection. Was all very sudden, one minute fine, next boom! I’ve since heard from friends that there may be something going around, so just asking if anyone has any ideas. Spring Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest chook Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Theres always bugs going round, Has the vets taken bloods, as this should show if theres infection present, it could just be a simple case of gastro or it could be something else. Hope they pull through it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

surrey lass 12 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 i have a friend who's 2 pups have been through exactly the same thing, their symptoms came out 3 days after having their puppy injections, and he said the surgery had a few dogs go in with the same maybe its some kind of virus but his vet treated them with drips and injections, they were ill for about 3 to 4 weeks and improved, so i hope your dogs improve and get back to normal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spring 5 Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Thanks for all the replys. A quick up date - both dogs now home after being on drips for 2 days, both looking and acting very much like their old selves (apart from whats comming out from the back end :sick: ) Both are eating and drinking light meals and are on antis. Both have lost a lot of weight but things are looking so much better. Once again Spring Quote Link to post Share on other sites
