She isn't showing any signs of dehydration, her chances of it being a blockage are slim to none, and she is still perky so I am opting to wait until tomorrow.

I did find it at our pet food store for $4.99 a can, however. Brand name "Fruitables", I think. Hope Nico is feeling better soon! Ripley & his Precious

Betty Landercasp Webboard User Reg: 11-30-2009 Posts: 3724 Loc: minnesota Offline	Kaopectate works well, if the dog is not "sick" (depressed, reluctant to eat) you are safe to give pepto or kaopectate- If the dog is acting sick, especially if it is not vaccinated, one might be concerned about a viral enteritis. Severe loose stools can lead to dehydration rapidly; fluids, like broth of chicken noodle soup, can help. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/

Jennifer Lee Webboard User Reg: 12-16-2007 Posts: 2851 Loc: oklahoma Offline	She just drank about 12 ounces of pedialyte flavored with chicken broth so that is a good thing. Betty, She was vaccinated when she was a pup but no shots since she was about 3 other than a three year rabies about 5 years ago. The vet has felt for many years that further vaccinating was not a good idea with her.

Betty Landercasp Webboard User Reg: 11-30-2009 Posts: 3724 Loc: minnesota Offline	I hope she's better today, it's probably just gastroenteritis from something she ate and will resolve soon. I'm not a "yearly vaccination" person, but do believe that first series of DHLP-Parvo critical; like polio vaccine, if everyone does it, the disease is gone. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/

Jennifer Lee Webboard User Reg: 12-16-2007 Posts: 2851 Loc: oklahoma Offline	No vomiting or wretching and her tummy seems less gassy and isn't swollen like it was last night. I don't think she is depressed or lethargic, although she isn't very active at all at this point in her life. She got up to greet me this morning and when I got home this afternoon and did a happy dance when I got her food ready.
