| I want to share some thing that worked very well for us. We got a puppy black lab from a local shelter, took him to the vet before we took him home. He checked out fine. The next day he got real sick. My husband took him back to the vet and he got tested for parvo, he was positive. Vet said 50 % chance of him living. We had him just 3 days. after the 5th day we were thinking of having him put down, but someone at work told me to give him pepto bismol and sprite. Well we at this point wanted to try anything. Well he got that for a day and a half and the next day he was a puppy again, eating normal and his stools were better. It absolutely worked for us. I wanted to share that with everyone in case they have a parvo problem.... Thanks

I doubt it was that that cured your dog, Parvo attacks the GI track and I fail to see how Pepto Bismol or sprite could do anything about the dehydration or secondary infections that Parvo causes, I think your dog was able to generate the antibodies it needed to cure itself. Were you instructed to give your pooch IV's? If not then I would suggest you get a new vet...

She eats alot, but she only defecates a little. Whats wrong with her? She also sneezes alot. Is the sneezing normal?

keep the food out while the other dogs are eating when they are done take the food away. after a day or 2 of this he will eat when you put the food down

If your dog has loose BM's, nothing he got into, the easiest way to cure that is with carrots.
Just mix some carrots in your dogs food, and that will take care of that.
I give it to them like it is..no dogfood mixed with it.
Our Dogs are not spoiled,we're just well trained

I have a 9 yr old Pit Bull Mix that was extremely active swam and dove eight feet under water for his toy. In early June he began with a slight cough. I took him to the Vet who stated it was a slight cold. In a few weeks it appeared that he was getting over the cold, but the symptoms began again. The vet again gave him antibiotics. On July 1st he all of a sudden lost all energy and would not eat. He also had problems breathing and was hospitalized for three days. He was treated for pneumonia. It appeared he began to recover but still had a hard time breathing. He was tested for Fungle and bacteria and all came back neg. None the less it appeared that the meds were helping him.
He again began to relapse and after three weeks of treatment his lungs did not appear to be clearing. I have taken him to three specialist and they all suspected cancer. The last Vet told me to take him home and that he would die by the end of the week. I took him and began giving him a non steroidal anti inflammatory to reduce the growth of the "suspected" cancer. I also noticed that during this time he had not had a bowl movent in 5 days, had no appetite and energy at all and was constantly breathing hard.
After giving him an enema he regained his appetite and is now eating regulalry. his energy level appears to be getting better, but he still has breathing peoblems.
I have told the Vets that I suspect that my pet may have dry drowning since he dove eight feet under water. They admitt that this may be a cause for the pnemonia but only treated the result and not the cause. Im $5000.00 in treatment now and my dog still has breathing problems and has no indurance at all to the point were he appears exhausted just walking. I feel that the Vets are just trying to take as much from me as possible. Is there anyone out that can help me.
Need some help
