Burpdog Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 January 13, 2009 Good Morning Diane, I hope you had a good time in Fl. and feel well and rested. Winslow, Craig and I had a very rough night. At bedtime, Winslow gave Craig the "sad eyes". This means,"I don't feel so well".. We sat with him and he went to sleep. At 1:am, he had to go out. Craig took him and reported that he had the big D. At 2:am, he was throwing up the water he drank at 1:00 At 3 he was out with the big D again... Craig said it was liquid, but that's all. He looked at it with a flashlight. At 3:30 vomiting water again. I stayed up and cooked rice and a turkey breast in anticipation of what he was going to eat today. At 5:AM, I took him out.. What was watery big D was now bloody... I called the vet, piled him into the car and went. We got there and when he got out of the car he did it again. By this time it was nearly daylight and what I saw was absolutely terrifying. (You nearly got a very early phone call-- fortunately, I was at the vets when this happened). I was sure something was hemorraging. Winslow knew he was sick, so he went right in and was really good for his exam. Oddly, the vet wasn't nearly as concerned as I was (needless to say, I was freaking out). He wasn't having stomach pain. She looked at a sample of the bloody D. under the microscope and said he has a bacterial infection. An injection of antibiotics and pills for 5 days. She say's he'll be as good as new. (I hope so!). So, he slept all the way home and is obviously feeling better already. He's sleeping now. I asked why this happened. She said he ate something he shouldn't have! Winslow doesn't pick stuff up, doesn't eat plant dirt or anything else. HE DOESN'T EVEN EAT FOOD THAT FALLS ON THE FLOOR! I swear I don't know what he could have eaten! He is not allowed in the yard alone. The only place he goes alone is on the deck. Everywhere else, he's on a lead. He sniffs some things, but never eats anything I don't actually give to him. He hasn't been around other dogs and hasn't been swimming for 3 weeks (vacation). If you have any ides about how he could have gotten this, please let me know. I'm at a total loss. Glynis PS: This thing is called clostridial bacteria.? UPDATE: Winslow has been asleep since we got home at 10:30 AM. He ate a small portion of turkey and rice at 1:00 NO symptoms at all. He's just really tired. So, hopefully he's going to be over this soon.. Dr. S. is a regular vet at VCA She's the one who took care of Winslow during the Rimadyl incident. She's good. He was seen by the E-vet first and by the time that was done, Dr. S. had arrived. He has never had this before. They aren't growing the culture, but I'll ask about it when I call today. By last night, his poop was just fine except for the last of the blood. He slept all night, no problem and is now eating his breakfast. Although they said he could go back on his regular diet this moring, I kept him on a mix of it with the turkey and rice. I don't want to overload him with all the vitamins and canned meat just yet. Dr. S. said he ate something he shouldn't have. I'm still at a loss with that one. She said there was "grit" in his stool that would indicate something he ate and didn't digest. The only thing I can think of is possible potting soil. He's never touched the plants or even paid any attention to them, but I guess it's possible. The other possibility seems that he may have stepped in something and then licked his paw. According to everything the vet said and what I've read, it can come from a million places. . Something allowed that bacteria to overgrow and the balance to be messed up. She said she sees a lot of it. She also seems to think it's a one time thing. I guess we'll know for sure when he's done with the antibiotics. I sure hope so. I'm going to ask VCA to add a human cardiologist to their staff. Also someone who can administer a sedative to mommy. This was absolutely horrible. Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaisyDoodle Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Glynis, do you feed the birds or squirrels in your yard? One of my dogs have eaten bird seed from a neighbor's ground feeder. Also, if there are droppings in your yard from any sort of animals, they might be yummy this time of year.

BootsyCollins Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Poor Glynis. I've dealt with that infection before and it's really scary. Hard to believe that they're not dying when it looks so bad. Happy to hear that he's on the mend!

NeylasMom Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Glynis, no worries, taht stuff is all over the place. He'll be fully recovered in no time. I'm sure you know what this means though. As soon as his stomach can handle it, extra Burpdog biscuits until Winslow is full up.
