whippet 99 2,613 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 My 9month old salukigreyxbull was being a bit sulky friday morning, chucked his food back up and started with dioreaha. Therefore I starved him for 24 hours. He started going badly lost 1.8kg since friday. I tried tubing drilite into him 20ml at a time 3 times an hour. He could not keep it down so I rang vets emergency number and 1st appointment was today(I rang saturday mid day).got there dog had a sickness and antibiotic jab. Vet thinks its just a bug from something he's eaten. I got two new syringes for giving him more drylite and 15 amox antibiotics tablets. £4 each for 10ml syringes and £55 for tablets. Pants down comes to mind but I suppose at end of day dog comes 1stIam surprised they charged u £4 for a syringe not for the overall price would of found that very goodhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B004U9JEBI/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1361130840&sr=8-9&pi=SL75 you get 100 for a tenner or is it 999..lol hope all goes well for you pal.........

speedy87 42 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Just come out seen a different vet she seemed to know exactly what it is its a viral infection, called gastric something or other. She's jabbed him up with potions. Going to get some more fluids in him I'm back tomoz 11am for them to check him. Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Gastroenteritis? Or hemorrhagic gastroenteritis by any chance? That's what's going around I think. My bitch wasn't as bad as your dog sounds though. Quote Link to post
speedy87 42 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Gastroenteritis I think , sounds right. He should be ok though otherwise they would of kept him in no doubt 1 Quote Link to post

WILF 46,712 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Threads like this always make me chuckle, 7 years at university working your nuts off to become a vet and some clown expects them to come to work, on a Sunday , save their cherished animal and do it all for £10 !!! How many times to folk need telling, get some fecking insurance or stop cribbing when you have to weigh on for your dog!! 7 Quote Link to post

He's like a 2nd son to me, very strong bond, gets on with my kids and the mrs, part of the family. Will be seriously devo'd if he goes 1 Quote Link to post
