I just wanted to say thank you so very much for having this article. I just lost a small dog and have a large dog sick and was not sure what they may have gotten into. it was too late for my lil guy but this article just helped give my big girl a fighting chance. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteHi McKenzie - I hope you girl is able to pull through.
DeleteVery informative and I see that I am not the only one who suspects a neighbor is poisoning our dog. I thought I was being paranoid but it seems to be food poisoning, diarhea and vomiting for a week. I will hose down the fence next to the neighbor in question and see to it that our dog stays far away.
ReplyDeleteI will appreciate any suggestions, recommendations, opinions on what else it could be if a little dog has diarrhea and vomiting for a month, and veterinarians do not know what that is. Thank you.

Many commercial dry dog foods are full of toxins and carcinogens that can cause great upset to a dog's GI tract. Chemical-based dewormers, veterinarian prescribed insect deterrents and vaccinations are another source of such of such upset. To comment further I would need to know more about your dog - what food you are using, what kind of health products and regimen you are following including oral health and other grooming products, what kind of cleaners you use in your home, what you are suing in your yard, and more - you would require a consultation.
Deletehow i wish, i seen and read this article few days earlier from now, maybe we can still save our loving dog... :( we tried to revived him but didnt work... "dodo" was not just a dog for us but a family member... :(

Deletemy friends dog has come in contact with a toxin that has caused him to have seizures and difficulty walking. They have taken him to the Univ. of Florida for treatment. At this time, he is still having some seizures. 14lb shih tzo. It also has effected his pancreas. Is there something else they can do besides giving him distilled water to detox his system?
