Hi all, i have a 10mnth old chocolate lab, today he is not himself, he has severe diarrhea and he has been sick, he keeps drulling from the mouth and is looking very tired. This is not like him as he is usually full of life and very bouncy, any one any ideas what might be wrong with him? kaz

I have a golden retriever, last year he had gastris problems, it sounds a bit like that, give him water but no food and see vet as soon as poss, Hope this helps Jan

Hi Jan, he is already drinking alot of water, he has feel asleep just now, i have an appointment with vet at 2.40pm. I am really worried about him, stomach is churning!! kaz

Hi Kaz Have got my fingers crossed for him and you, I know when paddy was bad i was worried sick they become like children don't they. Let me know what happens at the vets babe and give doggie a (((HUG))) from me good luck Jan

Thanks jan, i hope all is well too, love him too bits!!!! xx

Hi Anne, its the first time he has been unwell and its scarry! hate seeing him like this. kaz xx

Don't worry Karen, The Vet will sort him out. Give him a hug from me. (The Dog, not the Vet) Jim

How have you gone on at the vets? Hope everything is okay.....Bev

Karen, where are you .................. is little man any better yet?

I have a black lab who I call, 'A big fat pig'. She will eat anything and everything, and on a few occasions has made her self ill like the symptons you have stated. If your dog is still ill in the morning I would defiatly take her/him to the vet. I give mine boiled water and definatly NO food when she's like this. Hope your dog is OK soon. Jo.

Kaz Any news yet babe Jan

Hi guys, Thanks for all the messages, been to the vets and hes got an infection-his temp is 105, really high so hes had an injection and got tablets, have to take him back in morning to see if he needs another injection to bring his temp down more, hes just not himself poor sole. kaz

Hi Pat, wot is parvo? sounds nasty!!!! kaz xx

Hope he gets better soon, poor thing! Sheila x

Chris, we used to give calves Lectade, didn't know you could give it dogs as well. Ros

Karen - has he had his vaccinations? If so, he will be immunised against parvovirus (try googling for more info) - sorry, don't know what age puppies are vaccinated as we got our dog when he was 5.

I have been told not to feed him tonite, over the weekend i have to just give him boiled rice, pasta, tatties or white fish. when i fed the other dogg he was still looking to be feed also, what a shame!!!! Kaz xx

hi Shiela, yes he has had to vaccanations, he will be due another one in August. kaz xx

not tht i know of roxanne, i no he eats the other dogs dropping and im trying to stop him from doing it, the vet says its normal, they get nutriene from him, to me its disgusting!!!!

Hope pup is feeling better Karen. Us humans feel a bit useless sometimes when they get sick. Christine, we've got a gorgeous 16 month Golden, but all of a sudden his nose is changing colour. We're lucky to have a vet that will do house calls anytime day or night, but he'll think I've flipped if I get him out over this one. He already thinks I'm OTT where the big fella is concerned. Any ideas? Magi
