Ddog ill

♥️

You are not being a wuss.

We are fond of our pets and responsible for them, so of course we get upset when they are ill and in pain.

I am so glad to hear you got treatment for him so quickly.

Keep an eye on whether he drinks enough water when he is awake. Did you get advice on feeding him for the next day or so? A light diet might be best.

Hope he is better soon and you stop feeling so shaken.

There’s a horrible nasty doggy virus doing the rounds, hope he improves quickly.

Very touched by such immediate kindness.
Gransnet at its best.
Many thanks.

Did he eat anything when he was out? People throw all kinds of rubbish around including half-eaten burgers etc which can go off. The vet thought that was what happened to DN's dog with similar symptoms. He was a scavenger (a Labrador).
He recovered after treatment.

Or it could be a virus as AnnS said.
I hope he recovers well.

I hope he's ok now. ? Still miss my dog very much.

There have been many reports recently of dogs suffering quite serious gastrointestinal problems after walking on the beach.
I hope your dog recovers soon Dogsmakemesmile

Friends of ours have two dogs, both had gastroenteritis last week, it’s doing the rounds apparently.
Hope he recovers soon Dogs.

Sorry to hear this Dogsmakemesmile.
I am "over-invested" as you say in my own pet, and know how bad it feels when they're not well. No way are you a wuss.

Hope he is soon back to his normal happy self.

We all love our pets, it’s natural to be upset when they’re unwell. I hope Ddog is on the road to recovery now, Dogsmakemesmile.

I hope he's ok. One of my previous dogs had a bout of sudden sickness and had to go into the pet hospital but was fine after a few days. I think she had gastritis. Anyway, I was incredibly upset about it! You are not in any way abnormal xx

Feeling very touched. He is a labrador notorious in our small town for his "bounce". To see him floored has floored me. I think morphine was mentioned which would explain him being flat out. So grateful to the wonderful and swift assistance I was given. And so grateful for these messages. I have heard about a gastro bug going around. I hope it is this and he recovers soon. XX

It's only natural to worry when our pets are ill, they're as much as member of the family as any other - and it's sometimes harder because they can't tell us what's wrong. Hope your boy will soon be on the mend. Labs are such wonderful dogs.

A report has been produced a report linking the dredging taking place as part of the construction of a new freeport on the Tees to the outbreak of sickness and death amongst crustaceans and also dogs walking on the beaches. Here's a link to that report

Dogsmakemesmile I hope your boy gets better soon.

Thoughts are with you. My dog has been my world throughout the pandemic. What makes it worse is that they can’t tell us how they’re feeling. This bug that’s going round sounds awful and this sort of thing seems to happen at this time of year. Keep us up to date with his progress x

I am overwhelmed by your kindness. Thank you all for taking the time to post. Incredibly grateful.
I will update at tea time. He managed to go out and have a wee. Back on sofa.

Very upsetting dogsmakemesmile. I hope your dog is better soon. Good that you got him to the vet so quickly for treatment. As other posters have mentioned there do seem to be a lot of stomach bugs going around with dogs at the moment. Please keep us updated on his progress if you have time.

Sorry to hear your boy is feeling so poorly, hopefully is now on the mend. A stomach bug can bring them down very quickly.
My dog is everything to me too, l don't know what l would done without him these past couple of years.
Of course you will be worried and upset, it is only natural. They give us unconditional love and support.
Please let us know how he is.
xx

I’m so sorry to hear about your poorly dog. You are not being a wus at all.Our pets give us such a lot of happiness and we love and care for them in return.
I hope he continues to improve. ?

That sounds a scary episode. Thank goodness for the emergency treatment. Hopefully, you’ll be less shocked and more able to ask questions and understand if they’ve a diagnosis .
How old is your bouncy lab x

There were a lot of Fb posts in my area a few weeks ago about similar instances and now there are none so I guess it s moving around the country and has moved on from here People we’re blaming the beaches but I did read about it happening in wood Ed areas too
Labs are notorious for eating things too aren’t they
Fingers crossed he makes a full recovery

So many dogs seem to have a similar type of bug currently. Even my vet neighbours own dog is poorly. When my dog had a similar virus vet prescribed Oralade and some paste. The Oralade keeps fluids up and you can buy from vet or online. Hope your dog feels better soon.

oh i am so sorry sending love and prayers
