BE ALERT FOR THE SIGNS - All 3 of my dogs have a "virus" signs to observe - vet has no clue other than Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis UPDATE

SEE PAGE 8 FOR UPDATE!!!!



I just spent the last 3 days at the vet with my Miniature Dachshund. I had every test run for parasites, from A to Z, X-rays to rule out obstruction and 2 days at the vet clinic with constant observation and IV fluids.

My dog had blood in her runny stools, and was vomiting a white foamy puke and was drooling.

Every test imaginable has been done on her and it has now been concluded that she has a virus $1500.00 later....

This is also confirmed because now my other 2 dogs are now displaying the same symptoms.

I live in a very secluded area and my dogs only go out in a fenced in area to play and walk. I have tried to keep them separated as much as possible, but apparently this virus is highly contagious.

My dogs are always up to date on their shots and have had their heart worm medications on a regular basis.

I cook for my dogs, so there is no chance of them being sick from the dog food.

AGAIN - signs to look for
1. Drooling and foamy vomit
2. Diarrhea and runny stools
3. Blood in stools
4. Lethargic

My Dachshund is feeling some better today, but the other 2 dogs are now starting with the same symptoms.

Op by any chance to you give your dogs happy hips or any chicken treats if so this could be the problem.

I’ve never been considered a shill here but I think it’s time I popped my cherry!

News flash..your dog got better because it was on IV fluids for 2 days and it got medicine/monitoring to balance its GI flora, ulcers, reduce stomach acid, etc. Thank your Vet because he/she saved your pets life.

Next time it happens don't take them to the vet, try it your new “holistic” way only and update us then.

I know it’s hard to believe, but there is a reason Veterinarians go to college for 8 years and it’s not to “rip” people off, its to help animals.

Whether it is human or veterinary medicine, it is still “practicing” medicine:
1. There is not a test, be it blood, urine, stool that will tell your vet/doc exactly what is wrong. BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION IN MEDICINE-BLOOD TEST DON’T TELL YOU EVERYTHING.

2. Secondary symptoms are extremely common with primary symptom, ie: you drool when you’re nauseous. Also, do you know what caused your last bout with diarrhea? It could have been something eaten, bug/germ, stress…see my point.

3. People think they are their dogs greatest “savior” b/c they cook food for them, are you a nutritionist? Do you know how much fat/calories that you are giving your pet with your home-made meals? You could have given them pancreatitis and that could have caused all your symptoms. I know people who feed only chicken and rice and think it’s the greatest but their dogs are missing out on a lot of key nutrients. Good dog food companies formulate their foods to be balanced-something most people (unless you’re a canine nutritionist) cannot do.

4. There are so many differentials out there that could have caused your dogs to get sick, do you know what made you sick the last time you had a cold? Can you pin-point it to the germy door knob you touched, maybe the restaurant you ate at or the germ factories that go to day care 40 hours a week? No, you just know that you “got sick.” Same with your dogs, they could have ate a bug, a weed, dog poop, licked the kitchen floor, ate food that you cooked for them, there are thousands of things that could have got them sick.

Sorry to rant but the simple fact is your vet fixed/saved your animals life-thank them and let them know you appreciate all the hard work they did.

Sorry you no likey. It's from American Horror Story - big fan.

Super-duper face palm! Yes, always trust your docs and vets and their "science" ... also trust the marketing by dog food companies ...

i have no words to express my contempt for your stupidity@

Not sure if anyone said the water supply but that's what's causing the virus. Microbiological contamination of the water. Use bottled water and filter. Nobody should be drinking the tap water!

I was also wondering if maybe somehow someone may have thrown something over the fence - however I have searched and searched the area and have found nothing. My other 2 dogs are very picky and do not eat just anything. I have gone out with them every time they go outside.

has the vet ruled out the Parvo virus? those are all symptoms of it, as well as severe dehydration (the main killing aspect). its incredibly contagious and kills dogs usually within 1-2 days if untreated

As stated earlier, my dogs do not have parvo.
