Worried Sick About Alf

[NoMercy]

He's off his food, he's got diarrhoea and doesn't want to play ball.

No other symptoms.

He's had tummy trouble on and off for a fortnight or so, but he's always been predisposed to it.

What he passed yesterday was light brown / grey in colour.

Any thoughts?

Good luck xx

The right action, NoM, report back please........

Oh dear...poor mite. Hope he gets the help he needs...will be thinking of him.

Back in waiting room now. He needs a 7-day course of Metronidazole but she wants to check there's no contraindication to the Allopurinol he takes for his leishmaniasis.

Is he up to date on vaccinations and boosters? I hope he's ok.

[rockyracoon]

Well he'll be off the booze for a week then, what with the metronidazole.

Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery. My Yogi had a stomach bug a couple of years ago, quite nasty it was, especially the clearing up after him :(

[NoMercy]

Thanks everyone for your kind messages.

[Psybbo]

Good to hear a result and hopefully better soon.

Is he a walking waste disposal unit? Could he have snaffled something off when he was out for his walk. I had to wrestle part of a chicken from my last dogs mouth. I ended up at A&E.

I hope that he his going to feel better soon. Give him a hug from all of us.

Vast improvement in Alfie this morning following his commencement on Metronidazole last night. No poo poos in the kitchen and his appetite is fully restored :)

Wolf...he certainly is.
