My dogs went for a run in a very muddy field, stood in a deep puddle and drank the filthy water. They now both have severe D&V. Saw the vet who prescribed Panacur incase it's Guiardia. But one dog has done this before and tablets were given which stopped it in 24 hours. It's been 5 days now since treatment and no improvement. I just feel so worried about this as vet says we could catch it. Daughter and DGD wanted to come and stay for a week but I've told them no incase they catch it. Going back to vet tomorrow to try and get the tablets. Been up in the night to let them out every night. Anyone else had this with their dog? Any advice?

I'm so glad to hear your dogs seeming the mend. What a nightmare for dog owners all this sewage run off must be.

Back to completely normal now except weight loss. Oldest one 7yrs lost over 2kgs and other 5yrs 1.5kgs. But tbf they were slightly overweight due to lack of exercise in the relentless torrential rain. We free feed, so both eating very well, and it's stopped raining here today so back to 2 x 1 hour runs a day.
Thanks everyone for your support xx

Very pleased to hear this good news Sazz1. We don’t have dogs anymore 😢 and the problem with sewage in rivers etc never occurred to me as regards dogs. You’ve done your absolute best for them so be kind to yourself.

Wonderful news Sazz1. So pleased they’ve both made a full recovery. I know what it’s like to feel helpless when our dogs are poorly. 🐾🐾🐾🐾 💐
