Still Sick...Maybe Doing Better?

We moved Casey's crate to just outside our bedroom last night so we could hear if she needed to go to the bathroom or threw-up in her crate. She threw-up at about 2:30am, and I took her outside where she had a very runny diarrhea poo. After cleaning up her crate, I offered her some water which she refused. I then went and got some vegetable broth (we didn't have any chicken broth and it was 2:30am), and put some of that in a bowl with some water. She also refused to drink that.

At about 5:30am this morning, she was making some noise again. I took her out to the bathroom, but she just peed, no poo at all. Once back in her crate I offered her some water and she took a few small sips.

This morning, we went outside again, and again, no poo, only pee (which I hope is a good sign!). She seemed a bit more energetic than yesterday, and when I offered her the same broth from last night, she drank a fair amount of it.

We're going to take it easy today, rest and relax and see how she's feeling as the day wears on. She's just relaxing on her dog bed with a bowl of water and broth nearby. If the broth stays down well, and she doesn't have anymore bad diarrhea, I might try giving her a bit of food later in the day.

I'm thinking that if she goes 12 hours without throw-up/diarrhea I might try giving her a very small amount of rice and see how she takes it. She seems hungry now, and drank quite a bit of her broth this morning (I had to refill the bowl, although granted it was a fairly small bowl). It breaks my heart to see her like this!

Comment by Jane Christensen on June 3, 2010 at 10:39am: I would stay with the broth and maybe give a little chicken and rice! Make sure she is drinking or call the vet. I would stay away from kibble for a day or 2 till her system is better. Any more runny poo you need to get her to the vet, this would be my thought. Let her rest for a few days...no dog parks etc. keep a close eye on her. Good luck!
