Stanleigh 135 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 If it,s your dog your talking about mate , get it to a vet for diagnosis and treatment , symptoms very similar to parvo . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jjbull 38 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 my old dog had a bad bout of it last year he had it when he was younger and i managed to get him through it keeping his fluid levels up and regular small meals, but this time round he stopped eating and dropped a hell of a lot of weight so it was definatly a vet job at 10 years old didnt expect him to pull through, vet put him on a drip over the weekend and he pulled through and is now going strong. Id get him to the vets dont take any chances especially if its old or young Quote Link to post Share on other sites

long dogs 580 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 hi all all good idvise appreciated please.. as any one dog ever had gastro enteritis. is it a bad virus what causes it and was your dog ok after treament thankyou the dog in question Quote Link to post Share on other sites
optimus 447 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) hi all all good idvise appreciated please.. as any one dog ever had gastro enteritis. is it a bad virus what causes it and was your dog ok after treament thankyou the dog in question BASICALLY IT`S INFLAMMATION OF THE STOMACH & CAN BE CAN BE CAUSED BY A VIRUS OR SAY EATING SOMETHING DODGY. SYMPTOMS LIKE THE RUNS MEANS YOU MUST KEEP THE DOG HYDRATED & ELECTROLYTES CAN HELP. CERTAINLY YOU CANT RUN THE DOG TILL ITS 100% AGAIN & EATING & DRINKING AS NORMAL. YOUR VET SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE INFORMATIVE ON THE SUBJECT & AS YOUR PAYING HIM YOU DESERVE TO ASK ABOUT WHAT IS WRONG & HOW HE IS TREATING IT? ANY DECENT VET WILL WELCOME AN OWNER WITH A GENUINE INTEREST IN THEIR DOG. GOOD LUCK Edited January 24, 2011 by optimus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
