It's been going around for a while now mate..it went through my mut's around xmas time and everyone who i had contact with passed it on to there dog's and there mates dog's..all the dog's i have seen with it have got over it after around the 4th day..but i suspect young pup's and dog's with other illneses will be hit a little harder..

No it's hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, or at least that's what was going around here.

 

All my mates dogs had it pretty much and my bitch was quite bad with it.

Always worth getting a vet to check especially with pups, worth discussing fluids along with oral rehydration powders, such as Dioralyte used for children.
