HELP!! My puppy's sick!

[Jaycee]

Wishing your little puppy a speedy recovery Em, I really hope it's ok.
They certainly do become part of the family very quickly, and are like your babies. DS and I call our dogs the fur kids
Let us know how he gets on at the vet.

Just rang for an update: They said he's had some pretty bad diarrhoea and they still want him to stay in there. They've given him meds both oral and by injection (not sure what though) but haven't got him on IV fluids yet, but they will if the diarrhoea continues. They also said he's been still fairly bright (which he has been since I took him in but he wasn't last night).They said to ring back in a couple of hours to check again.

ahhh, I hope he's OK em ...

BTW, if you haven't already, go look at the RSPCA website for pet insurance. It's worth getting, and covers huge vet bills.

poor wee poppet. glad they are looking after him so well and it is good news that he is not on the IV at this stage as it means that his dehydration is not a mega concern atm.

i am sure he will pull through AOK, it's just like babies, when they are that little they do need an extra bit of help to kick infections.

Chuck is home. He is looking much better. The vet said his pooh is still soft but not liquid like it was. He has some scouban medication to take as well as some antibiotics. So good to have him home.

Yay! I'm so glad he's home and ok, that's fantastic news

Glad to hear he is back home and on the mend

We have a golden retriever too, he's 2 now and so different to the little ball of fluff we first brought home! He's a lovely dog, even if he is a bit nutty at times

That is great Em.

Great news!

It is amazing the bond you can form with a pup / dog. My Diesel got Parvo when he was little, a friend bought his pup around and she had not had all her shots / litter developed Parvo but our friends dog was the only one to make it.....a healthy 4 yr old staffy now. She was skin and bone. My Diesel just vomited up clear liquid, had a fever and slept in bed with us that night as I refused to leave him alone. I took him to the vets when we got home from work and they gave him two shots - one was to stop the vomiting ...can't remember what the other one was....

They certainly forge a special place in your heart.
