<DIV> Well, I should have known better than to open my big mouth , and
giving advise on sick Bassets, Annie got really sick , started
yesterday afternoon with diarrhea and continued through the night into this
morning, I started her on Kaopectate and thought that would do the trick ( NOT )
I called the vet at 8:00 am and he told me to bring her in and a
stool sample, I usually have an iron stomach, but this stuff was real
nasty and I almost got sick.</DIV>
<DIV>He said there was lots of YARD debris in her stool sample
DUH !!!! she is like a goat, everything goes in her mouth. she is
lethargic but other wise she still eating and drinking and NO VOMITING.
just severe diarrhea. He thinks at this point that she has colitis. he saw no
parasites in her stools and he said that her stomach is not bloated or hard, he
doesn't believe there is any obstructions. so he gave her a injection of
Baytril ( she is allergic to penicillin ) and he put her on Flagyl .
If she is not better by morning, I have to take her in for X Rays, she seems
some what better this afternoon, she at least got excited when my husband came
home from work and she tried to take a ball away from Maggie. that is a
good sign, she looks so pathetic. I should have seen the signs ( stupid me
) she has been doing a lot of stretching and groaning so she must
have had a belly ache for a couple days now. But she was acting normal and
being devious so I just didn't put two and two together.</DIV>
<DIV>Now, I sure would like to order a calendar, but it sure seems
complicated, especially being I am computer illiterate. can
someone help me with this ?????</DIV>
