Colitis In Dogs.

[Tilly2]

I took Tilly to the vets this morning as she has been unwell since Saturday. She has had severe diarrohea which has become more and more bloodied as time has passed.

The vet checked her over and took her temperature, which was normal. The vet concluded that Tilly has colitis and prescribed antibiotics and a kaolin paste.

Would you expect a dog to have colitis if their temperature was normal? It seems a bit odd to me.

Thanks, Patsy and Anne. It's been horrible but she's on the mend.

Nails, she's twelve now. A little old lady.

Not that old Tills, few years left in her yet?
Wish I could have a dog, alas tenancy rules forbid it.

I do hope so, Nails.

Dogs and flats don't go together very well, do they? You could become a dog walker though...

Funny enough Tills, that has been suggested to me (for the local dogs home) as part of some kind of therapy....
Seriously thinking about it. Don't like or trust 'most' people that much but I could spend my life with dogs. Would probably want to bring them all home with me though...
When I split from my ex, I actually missed the dog more than her. (Staffie/labbie cross, mad as a bag of spanners she was)

Have a look at The Cinnamon Trust, Nails.

Never heard of it Tills, but yes, will certainly have a butchers. Thanks :-)

Off now. Watching 'The Street.'

Bye.

Bye Tills, enjoy ;-)
