I Am So Frustrated!

[Vanessa]

Still the same…Upset tummy. We've cut back on the food to allow her stomach to settle. She is drinking plenty of water and still very active. Hopefully her tummy ache will pass soon. My poor carpets can't take much more of this.

It's awful isn't it? Cleaning up after these furkids are sometimes worse than doing it for babies and toddlers. Last week, Daisy had a spell throwing up in different places - on the carpeting! I had to wrangle her out the door, but by then she was done. A week or two before Daisy's episode, Duke had one…Everything in his belly evacuated on the carpet - ewwwww yuk! I would love to replace my carpeting, but I won't - yet.

Vanessa,
Is she eating the same thing as Chance?

[Vanessa]

They eat the same meals but I think this is from strangers giving her treats behind our backs at the dog park.
Chance's tummy has been a little upset too but he unlike Kiya will hold it until we get home.

That is very possible…. LOL... little beggers, people can't resist those faces...

My b's do respect the baby gates…but it took treat, squirt guns and time...

One word: Kaopectate

Works wonders for tummy issues, as for behavioral issues…um I dunno

Immodium does the trick.
And a crate of course.
I have only two crates in my house.
One for the girl pups and the penthouse for Tanky.

Everyone is crated when I leave…
though with this weather I am going to put a cedar bed in the dog house in the run so I can leave them in the ESCAPE PROOF dog run when I am gone (cement flooring and wire-fenced top with 1/2'' x 1/2'' around the run).
I got new carpet last year and I don't trust leaving anyone in where they can touch it.

Thanks, Kathi. I was wondering if I could give Immodium to dogs!
Not that we often have problems, but it's good to have the "go-to" info handy as needed.

I did the yogurt mixed with there food and it did the trick! Not to mention they love it!!!!

[tanza]

However, I would not doubt if your bitch is coming in season that could also be the reason for the "runs"…. everyone needs to consider all things that are or might be going on when their pup is not feeling up to par.... I certainly have had maiden bitches have a tummy problem just prior to their
first season...

[Vanessa]

they really are just like us

Exactly…. note the name... "bitch"... :p

[Vanessa]

too funny!
Guess we can just share a couch and eat a tub of Ben & Jerry's ice cream while watching re-runs of sex in the city

Fiji and I are in…:D
