Has anyone else had this experience?
We have a small pond in the back garden, this time of year it's a bit slimy and has a lot of pond weed on it.
Our 10 month old Border Terrier has liked to drink out of the pond since we have had her (she fell in just once when small, now she knows how far to lean over) with no ill effect.
However this morning she had a drink from the pond and dragged out a piece of decaying lily to play with until we noticed and substituted something else. And on her walk after lunch she passed a very soft green poo, almost like a green diahhorea.
She is fine, full of beans and eating well.
She was spayed five days ago so it could be a residue of anaesthetic I suppose?
We are considering having the pond removed but it is a haven for frogs, toads and newts all of which coexist quite happily with the pup.
Any thoughts or advice?
Many thanks
