The good thing is that Reubs is still drinking plenty and to uphold the Labrador reputation he is still hungry , bless him . Dragging my mattress out in half an hour or so , hunker down and watch some rubbish on TV until I fall asleep with one small dog under the duvet and a big one on top

You sound like you are going through the wars. I hope it's an easy night in the dog pile.

I`m alright honestly , Reuben is very good at being settled in the day time after even a very short walk , so I can catch up on sleep if needed . I am taking him to a local place for tiny walks, its very isolated , never seen any other dogs around so I wont be spreading any bugs . Nelly is fine , but then she is a tough old mongrel
Have you tried a probiotic? When Snowie had haemorrhagic gastroenteritis on and off for three months, we turned the corner when we added kefir to his diet. He was started on abs to start, but they didn't stop it. We eventually went to a holistic vet (on our regular vet’s advice) because it just wouldn’t go away. He “prescribed” half a cup of milk kefir every day. Plus some Chinese herbs. Did the trick.

He has been having probiotics for a few days now @M.F. but no change . I had to smile , the Vet was there when we picked up the metrobactin and said that many owners had trouble getting their dogs to take this , I offered one to Reuben and it went down a treat, like a treat .
Good boy Reuben. Chewie is the same- will basically eat anything if I offer it to him by hand, even metronidazole.
I hope it helps! You must all be feeling pretty tired now.
