Red is not well

[SwampDonkey]

Hope she's ok

 

[Candy]

So sorry to hear that poor Red isn't doing so well. I hope this is just a small setback and she's properly better soon.

Hope Red is feeling better this morning. Fred has always had a funny tummy, but someone told me to give him a spoon of
Goat's yoghurt every morning. I put it on his lick mat. So far its worked for him.

 

[Kelsey]

Poor girl, I hope she is feeling better again soon

Thank you everyone for your concern. F has walked her yesterday afternoon and this morning. He isn’t as obsessed and observant as I am regarding her poo but I know he is worried about her too. She is subdued. Yesterday we had visitors and she acknowledged them but that’s all - she just got on her bed and went to sleep.

Snowie had HGE on and off for 3 months!

That’s a long time and must of been very worrying for you. I think she must still be recovering.

half a cup of kefir every day

a spoon of
Goat's yoghurt every morning

I have given her a spoonful of plain yogurt every morning until she got ill. I’ve always felt it beneficial for her. I’ve gone back to giving her Pro Kolin twice a day

So sorry to hear Red is out of sorts again, hope she starts to feel better very soon.

I hope Red perks up soon and is back to normal.

 

[Boogie]

Get well soon lovely girl

 

[MellowYellow]

I'm sorry to hear Red still isn't really feeling her best. Fingers crossed she turns a corner soon.

I hope this was a one-off and the dear girl picks up quickly

How is Red today?

As above , I hope all is ok with your dear girl xxx

How is Red today?

She is ok - still subdued but hungry for her food. Poos are soft and just about pickup able. We met up with the person who has four dogs this morning. Normally she’d be charging about with them. She saw them and wanted to say hello but didn’t play or run with them like she usually would. My friend said she thought she was looking a bit more like herself. She’s definitely slimmer but that’s probably no bad thing. Thank you for all your kind comments - they really help. I am still concerned

 

[MellowYellow]

I really feel for you Alison, and hope Red continues to improve.

We are also having a terrible time with our dogs with HGE.

 

[Granca]

How is Red this morning, Alison?

 

[Atemas]

Thank you for asking @Granca . Her stomach is still not right. She had a loose poo on our walk earlier - with mucous. I had to tighten her collar yesterday as I noticed it almost coming over her head when she was on lead. I think I will make an appointment at the vets with ‘our’ vet if possible and have Red checked out. I am still giving her Pro Kolin

 

[Candy]

So sorry to hear she's still not properly well.

 

[MellowYellow]

Alison, did your vet check for giardia? Just asking, as Red's symptoms are similar to Poppy's and it was the vet's suggestion yesterday (once we had ruled out poison).

 

[Atemas]

@MellowYellow - no she didn’t but funnily enough I saw you say giardia on Poppy’s thread so I’ve just being reading about it. I will ring the vets tomorrow

I’m sorry she’s still not well. Maybe take a poo sample in case the vet can check that too? I hope you find the cause soon and she’s back to normal.
