We had to take our black lab to the vet yesterday.We didn't know what was wrong with her.It hit her hard and fast.Overnight Vomiting,fever,lethargic,couldn't eat or drink.
After they evaluated her,did some blood work.We were told she has a serious intestinal infection.Possibly pancreatic infection.It was also explained to us as being in the same germ family as parvo..Just great,it's highly contagious,I have 2 other dogs.
They wanted to keep her over night.That wasn't going to happen,she's a rescue.So they injected her with some potent antibiotics,and a nausea medication.Sent us home with oral anti's,and nausea medication.And asked us to keep a close eye on the others.
This was something that she could have caught by air,or contact..Most likely contact by stray dogs that's been roaming the neighborhood.
I forgot to ask what I can do to treat the yard,soapy water?
The vet did mention that he's seen several dogs this week for the same thing.If I had known she never would have been allowed out front.We just paid close to $300.00,not including the follow up,or if the other 2 contact it.
