You switch main food source after they got sick by chance to see if it had anything to do with their intake? To many “poison” foods out there right now and the vet will be reluctant to diagnose it as a cause in any way shape or form. Quoting: Chrit GL OP! I cook for them - so we eat the same food they eat - chicken and organic grass fed beef, eggs, organic vegies, things like that. Damn, I'm coming to your place for lunch! This is true - family members have to ask what is dog food and what is people food - I just tell them "does it really matter? " I just made some doggy treats yesterday - my daughter ate them unknowingly and is still eating them - I just laugh and laugh... Ignorance is bliss until reality bites you in the ass.

I had every test run for parasites, from A to Z, X-rays to rule out obstruction and 2 days at the vet clinic with constant observation and IV fluids. Quoting: Watching the world My dog had blood in her runny stools, and was vomiting a white foamy puke and was drooling. Every test imaginable has been done on her and it has now been concluded that she has a virus $1500.00 later.... This is also confirmed because now my other 2 dogs are now displaying the same symptoms. I live in a very secluded area and my dogs only go out in a fenced in area to play and walk. I have tried to keep them separated as much as possible, but apparently this virus is highly contagious. My dogs are always up to date on their shots and have had their heart worm medications on a regular basis. I cook for my dogs, so there is no chance of them being sick from the dog food. AGAIN - signs to look for 1. Drooling and foamy vomit 2. Diarrhea and runny stools 3. Blood in stools 4. Lethargic My Dachshund is feeling some better today, but the other 2 dogs are now starting with the same symptoms. There is no anemia associated with this? Correct? Virus or toxin would be my guess. Make sure that your vet did a simple blood smear/stain to look at the RBC's, WBC's, and platelets. Very simple test that's often over looked. a smear takes about five minutes to make and read. This will allow you to see the morphology of the RBC's, what stages the WBC's are in, Blood parasites, and platelet condition. |

Calling it a "virus" is just the vet giving it a label because he has no idea what it is. Yes the vet called it a stomach virus and it has been running rampant here in South Carolina... The sad part the vet said it could be caught by people... No name for the bug... It causes the dog to vomit and white foam from it's mouth... Had two dogs to catch it... One Died One Lived... The one that lived died for a few seconds just stopped breathing... Gave him some help and he recovered with what ever the vet gave out... It has happened to a number of my friends also...

In cases like this antibiotics are given out b/c we are unsure of what the exact cause of the problem is. If it's a virus, then the antibiotics will do nothing. The virus has to run its course, and the immune system must handle it. If it's some strange bacteria then the antibiotics my help depending on type of bacteria. |

I ask because I just had a herd of goats break into the neighbors yard and eat a bunch of his rhody bush, luckily I only lost one. They were foaming at the mouth after and very lethargic. Could they have come in contact with a fish that was from the West coast (ocean or river.) ? I almost lost my doxie from Salmon poisoning once, because she stole a fish head from a cat, who was given it by a family member after he returned from a fishing trip. Please let us know if you figure it out. I have 3 doxies at home, and I want to be able to keep my furbabies safe. |
