Please Help! Does My Puppy Have Parvo?

Alan — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:01:44 +0000

I just recently got a 10 week yellow lab on 2/4/09 and we had him for a week now. I just had his 2nd shots on 2/5/09, then de-wormed him on 2/7/09. Also, the breeder was 2 weeks late on his second set of shots.
Last night he started to have 100% diarrhea, then it transferred into 90% mucus and 10% wet solid stool. Today he is starting to vomit yellow fluids, and his fecal matter is back to normal, but still slightly wet. He is not lethargic as he still plays with his toys and us. I cut out his old food(Puppy Chow-Vet recommended it) and I am now giving him rice/chicken till his stool becomes regular. In addition, my girlfriend and I are giving him Pedialyte every 20 mins. I am bringing him to the vet tomorrow, and we are just taking all precautionary methods just in case for the worst news. We’re first time dog owners and we are slightly inexperienced with this stuff. My concern is that he is developing a new symptom everyday and none of them seem to simultaneously. Lastly, he has a fever that seems to leave and come back….
Any suggestions or personal experiences or help of any kind would be greatly and deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Does Ares Have Parvo?

Alan — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:09:52 +0000

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?

Does Anybody Know The Shots Dogs Get…?

Alan — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 04:00:31 +0000

…and the ages they are supposed to get them starting from birth?
There was a man who gave away an unwanted chihuahua puppy that I now own and I doubt she has had any shots.
The man said she was born back in April of 2008
I think there is a possibility that she may have some type of worm due to lack of shots.
I would appreciate it if somebody told me the shots a dog is supposed to get and when they are supposed to get them.
I also want to know the symptoms of heart and tapeworm.
Thanks

Why Does My Dog Shake, Pant, Drool And Legs Give Way ??

Alan — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 22:11:18 +0000

for no specific reason my yorkie will start to drool, shake, pant while he is wide awake. If he trys to stand up his legs give way. What do you think this is ?my vet said poss epilepsy, however as he is 2 years old and that these “episodes” happen few and far between she does not want him to be on meds. He has had these while relaxing at home, out playing in the garden etc and he has had around maybe 5 all together and they are months apart. He is up to date on vaccinations/frontline/worming. What can you suggest i do while he is having them as i can not leave him as he wants to follow me and he cant follow me as his legs give way. Has any one eles had these symptoms in a dog ? what do you do ? All suggestions are greatly appreciated thank you

What Type Of Worm/parasite Does My Dog Have?

Alan — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:47:25 +0000

I’ve never had to deal with worm/parasite issues. . . . so i am wondering if this is a parasite. . . . i was changing my dog’s water today and there was a small (lengh of a dime) white catipillar looking worm in the dish. it had large eyes that reminded me of an embryo. . .. it doesn’t look like any stage of tape worm round worm, or hook worm. . . . . is it just a coincidence??? ( we have tent worms from the trees now, did my dogs just get ahold of a baby one and it fell out of their mouth while drinking?????
any help would be great. Please don’t say “take to a vet”. If this sounds like a parasite, believe me, the dog WILL go to the vet. . . I just would like to avoid an intial visit if this doesn’t remotely sound like any type of parasite anyone’s heard of. and if no one is sure, is there other symptoms of my dog having a parasite???? Please be speedy as the dog has been separated from my children ( much to their dismay) until I can make sure that wasn’t a worm.
thanks!

Why Does My Dog Keep Licking Her Butt?

Alan — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:38:56 +0000

My chihuahua pup seems to spend an awful lot of time licking her butthole, and I don’t know why. Does she have a problem with her anus, or does she simply like the smell/taste? According to the symptoms I have looked up, she does not have worms.

Does My Dog Have Heart Worm?… (to People Who Have Had Dogs With Heart Worm)…?

Alan — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:48:39 +0000

He is an 11 year old Cockerspaniel/Terrier mix. He is coughing a lot, it listless, can’t sit still, very tired a lot, is making weird noises when he breathes. Have you ever had a dog with heartoworm and, if so, did he or she have these symptoms and how did you cure it (what was the cost)?
