SIGreyLady Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) Last Thurs I noticed that Kelsey had a "cloud" in her eye so I made an appt with our vet for Tues . This weekend she has had the Big D but is active, eating and being her nutty self. I've been giving her rice but i know some people will give Imodium. What dosage would I give for a 60 lb. pup? Sterling isn't feeling at all well. He tripped on the stairs going out on Fri and skinned his leg. He is not eating and looks alittle thinner, has no energy (but will move from bed to bed) and this morning notice some mucus in his nose (not the clear drips). I will be taking him in to the vet tomorrow. We just need some good thoughts and prayers for my pups.

Guest d0ggiem0mma Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I usually use Pepto for minor bouts of the big D. Use 1 of the caplets (not the chewable kind.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4My2Greys Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I hope Sterling and Kelsey can both get to feeling better soon. Lots of good thoughts coming their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Figmama Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Oh no. I use Pepto also. I believe the dose is 1 Tlbs per 10 lbs of body weight. Hope things get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIGreyLady Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Got the hounds to the vet today. Kelsey is over her Big D and has a referral for a vet ophthalmologist about the "cloud" in her eye. Sterling may have a kidney and a tooth infection. His temp is 102.2 and he is down to 68 lbs. (He is normally about 78 lbs. but hasn't been eating). His urine (drawn by catheter) was greenish and vet said that shows some blood in it. She took blood and the urine for testing and should know more tomorrow. He had sub-cu fluids for dehydration, 2 shots of antibioticsand a shot of Pepcid for his nausea. He was a little perkier coming home. I'm to give him 1 -1/2 tabs of pepcid twice a day starting tomorrow. He does have gingivitis too but has mucus in his nose which the vet said may indicate a sinus infection caused by his bad canines. We can't schedule a dental until he is feeling better and gets his weight up a little. Will update as we know more.
