dee lee Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 We are on our annual beach holiday & have been taking Honey to the beach for a run and play every morning. It's an offlead beach & she absolutely loves it! Problem is that she likes to catch the waterspray & today she must have ingested way too much because she has chucked a fair amount of liquid up and has had some liquid poos. This happened to a lesser degree a couple of days ago & she was right as rain the next day. She seems fine, just a touch flat & tired (she runs like a maniac at the beach so I'm sure she mostly tired) and is drinking water but is there something else I should be doing for her to help her tummy feel better? (bearing in mind we are at a fairly remote beach) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MolassesLass Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Other than standing clear of both ends just make sure she has access to lots of fresh water once she's off the beach. Every time I've taken my dogs to the beach they clear themselves out but I've never had an issue afterwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra777 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 She should be fine. Just make sure she has fresh water and don't feed her for a few hours. They all seem to do it - who knows why! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee lee Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Thanks for replying- I feel better now! ;) I thought she may have learnt her lesson the first day, but noooo... We however have now learnt to lock her outside while we go back for a swim- OH just spent the last hour cleaning the carpet- not sure which end that mess came from!

Kavik Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Kaos is the same We went to an off leash beach over Christmas while staying with OH's relatives and every walk along the beach he ran through the water and then stuck his head under to drink! I wouldn't have thought it tasted good but he kept doing it. Luckily this time all I got were a couple of loose poos (and no messes - he was a good boy and did them on our walks). He did drink a lot more water when he got back than he normally does though and a lot of wees. Edited January 5, 2011 by Kavik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly2000 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 My young Labrador got salt water poisoning, swimming with a ball in his mouth. He was very sick vomiting and squirting water out his backside. A Labrador website in the USA suggested to give the dog electrolytes. My Chemist said electrolytes are the same for dogs as human. I had to squirt it down his throat with a syringe, as he wouldn't drink it, anyway it worked, he was back to normal a few hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine_72 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I give up on getting solid poops in summer time.. We go to the beach every morning, and although my dog doesnt drink the salt water, he does ingest some retrieving his ball etc His morning poops are great, but the evening ones are not so good..
