Animal House Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) Hi Everyone, My little staffy pup (Minty) is at the vets, and on the drip for dehydration. :p Late last night she vomited and had a bout of runny poos within an hour, I thought at first it might have been something she ate, or she may have scoffed her dinner, the usual things you think of when pups do that. She was okay when I put her to bed and took her out for a wee etc. Shes fed on chicken necks, Optimum Dry/Canned food, and fresh chicken mince. Last nights meal was the mince. I checked her this morning, she wasnt hungry, very listless, no energy, no bounding around annoying the other dogs by chewing on them and on my toes. Made an appt straight away for the vets, she didnt have a temp, but there was some blood on the end of the thermometer in her faeces. Vet said unlikely to be parvo, but she was dehydrated, very flat and sad, so she put her straight onto the drip. Shes having IV fluids and IV antiobiotics, they may take blood this arvo if she doesnt pick up. Shes had her first vaccination at 6 weeks, isnt due for her 2nd until the 30th of December. (I adopted Minty 2 weeks ago from ARF in Canberra), very healthy little girl, she hasnt been anywhere except in my arms on walks for socialisation and in the car. The 3 dogs (outside ofhome) that shes met have been fully vaccinated, and she only ever been put down on concrete as Ive been a bit paranoid about parvo. Im wondering if it could be early stages Parvo, or a stomach bug? I just rang the vet (its been 4 hours since I left her there) and the nurse said she is on the drip, had some iv antiobiotics and hasnt had anymore vomiting or diarrohea, but is still pretty flat, although not as before. The vet will ring back once shes finished her rounds later this arvo. Should I ask for a parvo test? Edited December 23, 2005 by Cazbear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peibe Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Sorry Cazbear I hope Minty is alright soon, My Jewel had something similar to this when she was about 14 weeks old, vomiting, diahorrea and listlessness. She recovered in 2 days and we never found out what is was. Is it possible that she has eaten something like some plant matter that has made her ill? Do not worry to much I am sure she will be OK, sending possitive thoughts and prayers your way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspectorRex Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Has the Vet done or is doing a faecal analysis? Could be food poisoning such as Camplylobacter or similar? I would definitely recommend the above and a Parvo and/ corona virus test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
