Re: Upset Stomach

She was wormed about 3 weeks ago. I need to take her to the vets for microchipping so I will ask them to worm her again next week.

You could give ice cubes if the dog won't drink, my dog loves them and when he was ill a while back, he didn't want to drink but was still taking ice from us.

Lactulose - in liquid form? if so it is a human medicane, I have had it myself a few times, in sainsburys parmacy it was cheaper to buy it then have it on presiction! You would need to check the dosage though.

I wonder what else you can give?? as when I had my houserabbit, our vet advised pineapple juice when she had fur-balls - always made her better, I think it workes the same carnberry juice does for human waterworks problems

Re: Upset Stomach

Hi, just had the same problem diarrhoea and eating grass to be sick with my 2 year old - started off with eating the puppy food - starved for nearly 2 days - gave her scrambled egg - took her to vet as even taking up the water she was drinking - antibiotic as had temp. and Koalin - getting better - not so runny - but plenty of washing lol. She is still leaking - so keeping an eye on her - still drinking and eating - but not puppy food, feeding them seperate. I worry about my dogs more than the kids.

Sorry to hear about your dog, I couldnt imagine how I'd feel if she wasnt better today, thankfully she is. I kept waking up to check on her - I dont think I ever done that with my daughter! LOL At least when its a child you know what you can give them to make them feel better.

I gave Cola some boiled chicken for breakfast, same for lunch and just boiled up some rice to mix in to it and she really enjoyed it! Im gonna stick to that just for today to make sure. We also went for a long walk this morning and again just now and she seems back to her old self, chasing all the dogs in the park and running after the squirrels.

I think shes actually enjoying the chicken & rice better than her regular food

Thanks for everyones advice.

The lactulose was for Daisy ,s constipation at first i was told 5ml=1tsp one in the morn one in the aftrnoon , but when i called back in the afternoon to check if i could give any more they said it wont harm her to give moore as it was a natural laxative so i think i ended up giving her another 4 tsp throughout the day , the only thing it would have done was given her the squits lol . but at the time she so desperately needed to go i thought what the hell , even giving her that much she didnt get the runs and now is pretty much back to normal . I paid £4.85 from lloyds chemist it was nearest at the time . will keep some in stock now i know ,
