Bless her, like she' s not been through enough )I have no idea where she would have picked anything up though...it started on Friday before I took her for her first walk since her op...so I am guessing she may have picked it up in the vets on Tuesday????
Sigh.
So worried.
the treatment is still the same.h g.e can be contagious so id watch your other dogs carefully(if you have other dogs?)dont mean to alarm you

She had a check up yesterday (stitches all fine at least) and the vet said to just stop the metacam (she hadn't had any yesterday any way).
Yesterday the diarhea started...but wasn't too bad, although it did have a little blood in it. Since she'd seen the vet I didn't worry too much. She had chicken and rice for tea, one more bout of the runs at 6ish then was fine til 5 this morning when she asked to go out. Cue a poo...quite formed, but slimey (sorry) and she was quite quiet.
I went back to bed.
At 6.30 she vomited up her tea...she had vomited 4 times by 8.30 and was becoming dull. She had another lot of the runs.By 9.15 when OH came in, she didn't even get up to say hi.
I went out...and by the time I came back he was at the emergency vet (I had called and takne their only appt at 3pm before leaving). After I left, apparently she had a severe bout of bloody dire rear...and vomited again. Her vomit smells of rotten egg. The vet thankfully clled to say they had a 10.30 just as OH was picking up the phone to say she needed to go right in. She has also developed a bit of a cough.
The vet asked oH if she was immunised (she was done whilst in rescue) and if she had a cough...so I am thinking he has an idea of what this is?? I immediately thought of parvo but perhaps it is one of the other diseases immunised against?
Any ideas?
He says he will update us tomorrow when we see him with Biff (I don't even want to go there so don't ask
). Biff threw up an hour ago so I am hoping he hasn't picked something up....I am exhausted and worried sick.
Any thoughts as to what it could be??????

Healing thoughts to Tango and will say a wee prayer for him and for Biff as well.
Thinking of you - it is such a worry when our beloved pets are ill. Tango is in the right place and you and your O/H did well in getting Tango there so quickly.
Look forward to hearing how Tango is when you get updates.
Take care xx

I know its awful not being able to give something a good solid name to know what your dealing with, (I have been wanting a name for Milos problem for a couple of years or more now).
I just want you to know I am thinking of you and praying Tango soon gets on the mend and its nothing serious and that the others don't go down with it too.
(((hugs)))
