[QUOTE="Star*, post: 321963, member: 4964"] Stang - Hows CHester today? Don't worry about talking diarrahea and chili eating at same time - when it's a furkid's health? Tis not a problem. If he still has diarrahea at this point? I would seek a vet for SQ fluids. Pinch his skin behind (nape of neck) if it sticks together at all? He's dehydrated, BUT this is NOT a fail safe way to tell. Also check his gum to see if they are bright pink or loosing color or white. His blood count may be down. If the gums are not bright pink or are white? It "could" be worms. At THIS point? DO NOT WORM HIM unless under a vets direction. The medicine that you give to work is POISON and will irritate the stomach - there is NOTHING in there for the poison to absorb into. It could damage some organs. I recommend Kao because it stops diarrahea faster in pups quicker than pepto and is a little bit more palatable because of the chalk (kaolin) is not as upsetting to tender tummies as Bismuth. The gatorade 1:1 is to help with electrolites and replenishing lost potassium and minerals lost in dehydration (water loss in diarrahea). However at this point in the game? It's gone on too long and he could probably use a shot of (forget the name) to slow the process of the diarrahea. If Kao and Pepto have not worked he could have pancreatitis or a spastic colon or just a really bad bug. Stop feeding him anything. Just the ice cubes like we talked about. It will not hurt. But seriously? Vet time. And before Thanksgiving....CHA CHING. He could also have Coccidiosis (sp) but that usually comes with blood. Not always - but it takes a stool sample to find it - AND if he's got it - there's a chance that Cloe will get it - So she'd need to be treated as a precaution - and then all the areas in your house that he's pooped in - Lysol (member we talked about that?) and the yard - bleached....(get a sprayer and mild solution and spray with like a weed & feed sprayer) Animals coming in your yard, squirrels passing through. The other thought with this is Parvo - but like we talked about last night - Parvo brings lethargy, fever, vomiting, and a very distinct smell in the diarrahea. It smells like death - no kidding then blood - just straight diarrahea blood. Pootie sez her prayers for her love. All the kids did....they can't stand their bud being sick. Send word and let us know how he is. ps.....do not fry anything - if you give him any food - it's to be boiled and bland, bland, bland. [/QUOTE]
