stomach virus in dogs? - Page 2

 We had a Rota virus go thru the kennel a month or so ago with the exact same symptoms you have described.  Not Parvo, not a food change, it is a boarding kennel and the dogs are fed a variety of foods and the bowls are sanitized daily.  Not all the dogs got sick either.  Some of the staff got sick with similar symptoms, too. But the human symptoms included vomiting.  The humans were off their food, too.  So again it is not the food.

FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS I HAVE BEEN SICK. I HAVE A 102 DEGREE FEVER AND I HAVE THIS VERY DRY COUGH. MY PET BIRDS AND ROOSTERS ARE ALSO SICK AND SO ARE MY PIGS.

Ronnierunco you think your so funny. Well you are not, So just quit.

Ronnie may be a goofball, but he's making a good point....the new outbreak of swine flu is a strain of virus unknown to the CDC, presumably nobody will have immunity to it....I do not know if it can also infect dogs, but these things do happen fairly frequently. Worth asking your vet about....& Ronnie, see a doctor. No potato salad for sickos!

Sitasmom, glad your crew is on the mend & rarin' to go! Mine were all slightly droopy today, but I suspect the 1st day in the 90's was the culprit....we went from 50's one day to 90's the next.....I decided it was a good day to groom every one. I've got  enough dog hair now to stuff a sofa! LOL! jh
