Cara had coccidia when we got her, but I have read research that it is killed more easily with ammonia than bleach so that's what I used–- pick up, pour ammonia over area. Neither Connor nor Arwen got it. But since you weren't doing it before, do take in stool samples of the other dogs to avoid them continuing to pass it around. A dog can have it with limited effect and still be passing it in stools to recontaminate your pup.

Throwing up the yellow stuff…would you call the vet?

hi ivoss, my boy pedro was doing the same thank and now i know what it is!!. thanks

I generally scoop the day's entire food amount (usually a largely rounded cup of kibble - but it depends on the brand) in the morning and then divide it up into three portions (not necessarily equal) and the last portion is given right before bedtime (mine also gets a small chunk of raw steak, and a few treats everyday). She hasn't had any morning bile since I started the bedtime feeding. Strangely when she finds something to eat in the yard (rare event thankfully) she'll also throw up – but later in the morning.

Yes, thanks for the info! I've been so busy with Colton (he is almost 3 mo already, it's crazy how fast time flies!) that I haven't gotten on here to update. So far Tosca is fine, I've resorted to giving her another small meal right before we go to bed, and so far no throwup. I figure now that the weather is nicer and I am cleared to exercise, she is getting more walks to help offset the extra eating. We do have a vet appointment anyway (routine) tomorrow, so I will mention it to them then also, just to see what they think.

Glad to hear Tosca is doing better. Colton is 3 months already?:eek:
Man, time flies!! -
I know!! I'd love to post pics, but DH doesn't want pics of him up on the internet….I think he is being a bit paranoid, but I guess I can see his point...kinda
He is getting sooo big so fast though, it's a blast watching him learn and grow...now I am just getting sad about going back to work in April! -
That's going to be hard:(
I hope your school is in better shape than we are. 560 slated (of a total of 2,200) to be laid off in district. 34 already pink slipped from my building alone. State and federal funding cuts and contract negotiations at the same time. :eek: Administrative strong arm tactics….......
I'd love to see pics of Colton and Tosca together, but I deeply respect your husbands concerns.
Enjoy your time at home with Colton and best of luck in April. I'll say a "keep mommy strong" prayer for you:D

Wow…our school district is in rough shape too, but nothing like that. So far we are projected to lose 30 teachers, district wide. My building (one of 3 middle schools) has been lucky so far...we haven't lost any regular ed teachers, but several allied arts teachers have been moved or reduced. Unless things keep going this way for years and years I think I'll be ok...I'll have a job, but I am worried about getting moved around, since I am low in seniority at our building. I saw on your profile you are a librarian, how is your job? Here, unfortunately, they were one of the first ones cut. Our librarian was full time for like over 15 years at our building, and is now part time here and 3 elementary schools...just crazy.
I agree, administration is completely messed up...they are making cuts without regard for impact on students...they have hardly lost anyone. It's just a bad situation all around.
Haha...thanks for your prayer, I'll need it! I'd do anything to stay home, but DH is a private school teacher, so we need my job for insurance alone. Oh well, at least summer is coming quickly! -
Job wise, so far so good. We won't have a final notice until the week of the 5th. Fingers crossed they don't eliminate my position, although with 14 year under my belt I have enough seniority to bump someone else. I'd hate to do it but all districts are 'pinking'. There will be no openings in Illinois. Plus my district won't pay out accumulated sick days so I'd be giving up almost a year of retirement in sick pay alone. Fingers crossed.
In the mean time, I'm enjoying my spring break, catching up on some reading, and watching my 2 beasts nap the day away on the sofa:). Looks good!! I might just join them:D.
