We got a new puppy 1 week ago and took her to the vet 2 days later to make sure everything was OK. (She’s our first dog and we wanted to be extra careful b/c we don’t have much experience with puppies. The vet said she had worms and intestinal parasites. He told us to give her 1 tablet of Drontal Plus and 3 syrnges of marquis (1 per day for 3 days). She didn’t eat very much when we first got her (which is one of the reason we took her to the vet, but since we started her on the meds she stopped eating all together. We gave her boiled chicken and rice twice about 36 and 48 hours ago, she ate it, but didn’t keep it down. We also called the place where we got her from (foster mom) and she said not to worry and make sure she drinks water and has access to food and she’ll be fine… We just want to make sure. We gave her the last dose of her meds last night, so we hope she improves today. She does drink water without a problem. It is Sunday and we plan to take her in tomorrow if she doesn’t improve. Does anyone else know about this or have any experience with these symptoms? She is starting to look frail and we are worried about her. Please help!

My friend in the apartment’s I live in told me this puppy wouldn’t leave her doorstep and once I saw it I fell in love and took it home with me. The problem? The puppy looked like he was fat, but instead we realized he was bloated. He’s had diarrhea since he’s been here, the last two day’s. He’s got worm’s, but not to the extreme and he won’t eat like he did the first day we got him. He seem’s to have all of the symptoms. I’m sad, because if he dies he will have been the 3rd puppy we’ve had to die from Parvo, in the past year. If he has Parvo what can you recommend? I don’t want him to die, but I’ve done some research and it seem’s it’s not curable. I cannot afford a vet, especially right now. And another quick question…..Why do people take puppies/dogs to Wal-Mart and give them away knowing they are sick with this disease or worm’s? That’s sad, because I have children, that don’t know yet, but will eventually. Help?

okay im here visiting my cousin’s house and their dog has heartworms. since today, everytime i’ve touched him i wash my hands really good. earlier i put him in his cage and fell asleep in front of the tv and i woke up to find the dog all over my arm. i have no idea how he got out. so i put him back in the cage and i sat down and my stomach started to feel funny like i had ate some bad food or something(I had a sprite before i fell asleep). And then i sware i thought i could feel something in my throat and when i swallowed it wouldn’t really go down. im also aware that worms can be spread through mosquitoes and i have recently gotten a mosquito bite on my face… i don’t really know the symptoms or anything, maybe im just goin crazy. but can someone please tell me if this sounds like i may have caught some kind of worm?

he has had mild diarhea with some blood in his poo (drops- not much). Took a picture of the poo to show to the vet and she has noticed some worms for which she gave the dog a pill. Also she gave me a sirop that will make the diarhea go away. He has not completed his vaccinations yet and I am worried because the first two days I had him I took him to the garden to play, do his business etc without knowing that he has to remain indoors till the vaccination cycle is complete. I am afraid he might have gotten something. I told all this to the vet and she said its not all that bad but I shouldnt take him out again untill she tells me its OK.
It been 12 days I have had him and I am scared he might die or something.
I got him at a petshop and he was bred in Hungary (I live in Athens-Greece). He eats whatever you put in front of him (for the time being ONLY puppy food) he drinks a bit more water than usual, he is payfull (a bit less than before) and his diarhea seems (not sure) to be getting better, but this cough thing really scares me. I will take him to the vet this afternoon again. Has anyone had this type of symptoms? What is it? is it common with puppies?

I have a Golden Retriever and through everything he has been through, he keeps his spirits. I will tell everyone $12000 dollars later, neurologist, Texas Am, my vet. -No diagnosis ever found. First he could not urinate, or have bowel movements. I had to express him several times a day. The vet said three times daily, but I know I have to go to the restroom more often than this. He was sore and it was painful to his bladder and easily noticed. But he let me help him and would of course feel better. His tail did not work and his feces fell out on free will. Every blood test, test, xray , all negative. He showed to have a light case of heartworms. He came home after 1 1/2 mo from the neuro clinic and it was like visiting a human to keep up his spirit. His coat was bad, hair falling out. He had previous skin alergies. Then Texas AM for two weeks. 16 bottles of med he had. Antibiotics, valium and every other pill. My gosh that I felt this would kill any human. How can your system or body ever work with all that poisen. What I did…I took his off of his normal purina, and Eukanuba dog food after seeing the DOG Food secret web site, I put him on a dog food that didnt show to have processed meat at the immediate beginning of the ingredients. Which is chopped up dog and road kill and whatever else they stick in their before it gets to the plants and the goverment does verification its ok. Anyway, I put him on Raw diet in the beginning and yes cooked for him. Now a natural and not the grocery store so called natural, a real dogfood that is completely natural. I took him off all medication. His tail began to work again. He can now urinate but it comes out on its own. I help daily but he seems to not be full with only small urine expelling. .He is obviously expelling. WHen he runs he sprays all over the yard. So yes he is receiving an empty bladder and I do check. His bowel still freely expel, but at least they expel. His hair has came back and he is gaining weight. I am about to start using cloves of garlic daily, wormwood,black walnut, clove for the heart worms. also going to try another natural herb remedy. Everything I read, this seem to work like a God sent. Hope this maybe helps with his other symptoms he didnt receive a diagnosis for $12000.00 later. Wish him luck and any suggestion would be appreciated. Please nothing rude. I love him very much and a great dog. He is 5, a Golden and such a trooper. Plus, his medical is more than 2 kids, mine and spouse put together. We do not have any and he has made up for us not. He is a great dog. We have a long haired Dach. that wouold miss him, Also we have a new black lab puppy. A lady was going to put her dogs liter of puppies down if homes were not found. My daughters friend gathered all the puppies or the next day they were taken off for this in humane treatment. Sad someone would do something like that. She also took them from their mom at 4 wks. I am going to start my new puppy on garlic in a few weeks. Hopefully with this she will be issue free. My daughters cat Marlie is going to go insane with the dog community and guess I am going to have to get her fixed. She is in constant heat every other week and she seems miserable. First, I thought she was an amazing cat and learned to bark from listing the our two dogs in the back. No, I had never had a cat. Anything aloud to freeley use a box in the house was not to exciting for me. But shes great and my daughter 2x a day handles the box. Just call our house the misfits. I notice yesterday our puppy is beginning to shed her puppy black hair. We have white carpet and I will be losing my mind on this one. I have a vacuum almost in every room. Well 7 to be exact. I have noticed she has more than normal strong puppy breath. She seems after waking and sometime during the day has a very sticky dry mouth. Its like her tongue get stuck and she pulls it off the rough. as real dry and heavy. . She drinks plenty of water, have not found any worms. But does have way too many bowel movements. i think I take her out every 30min, not that she goes this much but at 6 to 8 a day is this normal? I have raised labs, always had dogs and I dont remember this active of bowels in any of them. The dry mouth has me concerned and her stomach gets upset about every other day at least once a day. Figured due to maybe a change in food, being young-now 6 1/2 weeks and if we leave down the cat food for marlie to eat, she seems to find it. I will never be able to leave the house again. Misfits kennel- White carpet and the carpet cleaning company on call 24/7. I may start drinking.
