    Hello there

    2 year old springer vomited on Thursday. No warning lying on the couch and went all over :eek: then some runny poop. Left her at home next day (not alone) and she was fine. All weekend fine normal poo eating as usual. Monday took her to work got home she seemed off. Then was sick this time I got her outside.
    She is with 3 other dogs during they day and they are all fine. Could it be something she is eating. Will call the vet of course today. She has a little freedom in the yard during day and has being going there since 8 weeks old.

    Thanks

    what did she eat/drink? has she been dewormed recently and with what? medications?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 223 ✭✭tylerdylan


    I've just given her the normal food ( Markus Muller) and water dewormed last month with the liquid on the neck
    got from the vet, prior to that was the table from the vet and no other medications

    is she fully vaccinated?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 223 ✭✭tylerdylan


    Yes and got her yearly check up and booster about 4 weeks ago.
    in the 2 years she has been with me she was sick 2/3 times as a puppy.never since

    There are pros and cons in regards to booster vaccinations, my personal opinion is that we're over vaccinating.this might be a  response to a vaccination but since it's 4 weeks already i doubt that. Make sure she isn't dehydrated and see if she eats/poos normally., she might have just eaten something off. Would fasten her for 24 hours but most of all get her to a vet - just to be sure.

    Had to read that a couple of times to realize there should be a comma after poo - made me laugh a little (but not at the poor doggys expense!!)

    Possibly a tummy bug perhaps? Mine gets it from time to time, cut food for 24hrs then introduce slowly chicken and boiled rice is normally what the vet advises me - she's usually fine then after a few days....

    haha yes I see what you mean, I laughed alright .
    I haven't fed her today so will wait the 24 hours. I have a puppy also and she is with us in work, but she is doing fine

    My girl does get an upset tummy quite a bit, maybe 2 or 3 times a year - it's usually down to something she's eaten that she shouldn't have....she has a sensitive tummy but the fasting then chicken and rice always helps sort it - also, the vets have given me a paste called Pro-Kolin a couple of times, it helps firm things up - VetUK do an own brand of it which is much cheaper, i always keep a tube in the house for those moments!
