OGBS

by OGBS on 11 September 2009 - 21:09

Moons,
It is good that your pup will see a vet.
Generally a tinge of red/blood is normal with any type of digestive upset.
I would boil some chicken and rice for the dog and feed that in the mean time, and, yes, as someone mentioned, a spoonful of canned whole pumpkin and maybe a tablespoon of plain yogurt (not low-fat, or, no-fat) per meal for a week, or so, will help.

I would also be very careful of your pup eating roots. A good friend lost her 1 year old female because of this. The dog was also digging up and eating some roots. The roots poisoned her. She became very ill, ended up going blind, and further deteriorated to the point where the she had to be euthanized.

Sticks aren't really a big deal. This is a natural thing that wolves and dogs chew on and eat.

I hope all goes well at the vet and your pup is healthy and back to her normal self soon!!!

This is how PARVO STARTS!  I am not saying it is PARVO, but I would go to the vet for Elisa test. Parvo may not smell characteristically at first.
ASAP!!!

There is also all sorts of crud going on which can be taken care by antibiotics but I WOULD GO TO THE VET!!!!!
 

NOW!
Sooner you start treatment better chance there is .

TM - Did the puppy have a PARVO vaccination?   Do you have an Emergency Vet Hospital close by?

I am sorry about the puppy..  I read that you said she just lays in the dog house.  You might want to bring her into the house with you so that you can watch her.   She probably would feel a little more secure if she was with her human family.  Especially being a puppy.   What if she has a seziure and there is nobody by her to get her the help she needs.

Roots are a possibility OGBS, also poison, mice will carry it outside sometimes, I do put mouse poison in a couple of places.
All vaccinations are up to date and we were on our way today for shots when all this came about.
She's doing better (perkier) and ate a light supper mostly chicken broth.
Waiting to see if she holds it down, and if she goes outside to do her business.
I really don't see parvo but I'll let the vet see what he thinks tomorrow.
Thank you all very much,

Moons.

I think she ate one too many roots or got ahold of another grass or  plant in yard area....this is usual and a small amoutn of blood in throw up is normal...whateve they eat sometimes irritates the mebranes in the esophagus area...mine eat pine shavigns sometime so back to the wire they go until they are sold....Treating pups for eating foreign matter   gets my goat....

If you had some liguid   Albon in solution...the yellow bonding kind....give the pup about 2 cc and then  next day decrease half and give 1 cc.. This is a sulfa drug for intestional and digestion upsets and pregnant bitches are safe with it...it can help get to the minor problem.. I think you are just experiencing a very  tenatious pup who like them all eats anything anywhere anyhow.....
'
'Keep some safe med in cabinet for such...you will after years of this find out what to do and not have to run to the vet..you will know as to what your pup does ...it they get into things...the kind of thing you describe is ususlly the outcome....if no parvo around and you  have been vigilant as to not let strange people in and you spray all feet and shoes before entering property   you wil know    IT IS NOT PARVO...or distemper....

Hope for the Best....
Flagyll and Albon are two you should keep in your med cabinet along with amoxy and cephflexon....etc/

GOOD LUCK   LET US KNOW>>>>

my dogs get into our Jasmine once and a while.......the symptoms are the same as bloat, except for the hard tummy. I'm trying to talk my hubby pulling it up.......

next all nighter, he will be on duty  - then he will want to pull them up....if I don't first.!

Dogs and puppies eat some of the most rediculas things.

Good luck with you puppy, I feel for you!
