new from europe (arthritis and vetoryl?) - Ian, Flynn and Enya have passed

yep, been there done that last week MC. Crazy isn't it

hugs

It's heating up again here this week. Supposed to be in the mid 90s F by Thursday. That's about 35 degees Celsius. It has been dropping to the mid 60s during the night. That cold for us. Lol ;):D

35C...pfffff, that would be far too hot for me and the doggies.
i prefer snow...............
are you going to walk the dogs during the night?
or are they used to these temperatures?

It cools down quite nicely in the evening. Once the sun starts to set, it's cool enough to walk to the park. I try to go most days because Rosie loves it. Early AM is cool also, but I'm not much of a morning person. Getting to work on time is challenging enough.:o

We get snow rarely in our local mountains, but no snow where I live. We don't get any winter to speak of. We have a somewhat longer fall, then it turns to Spring again. I have NEVER experienced a white Christmas. It is not unusual to be running around at Christmas time in 80 degree weather (27.6 degrees Celsius)

okay,so it cools down at night after sunset.
glad you can go to the park with rosie.
i am not much of a morning person either.
short round before going to work, a long walk during lunchbreak and after work.
it is indeed good for our dogs and ourselves to exercise them.
can rosie walk off leash in the park?
we do have a sea climate so the winters are not very cold too.
sometimes we do have a white christmas though.

last night ian has vomited twice, this morning the living room was covered with bloody diarrhea from wall to wall.
ian was lying in a corner, so i called our vet-luckily it is a 24/7 clinic.
i took ian in, no fever, so he got some anti nausea shot and Metronidazole pills to give him at home, but he is too sick to eat them.
no diarrhea anymore, no vomiting, but he is feeling sick of course.
poor ian.
there were more dogs with a diarrhea virus this weekend who needed iv fluids etc. but they all had a fever, ian didn't.
he is drinking ok, so hopefully he will be feeling better soon.

Maybe you could entice him with something to just get the metronidazole pill into him. If he has a gastro intestinal bacteria, then he needs to get that to help him stabilize and not become dehydrated.
Poor Ian. :( Something going around there?

hugs

yes, he wasn't the only one with severe diahrrea this weekend, even when we were in people called telling their dog was having the runs.
saturday 2 dogs had to stay, both needed iv fluids, but they were runnung a fever, ian did not.
he is sleeping now after drinking a lot of water.
on his side instead of on his belly.
nothing came out of him again, front or backside.
so i hope this was it and he now has to recover from it.
no pills yet and no vetoryl of course.

Poor Ian. I hope he's feeling better soon. As Sharlene says I'd try to get him to take the metronidazole because it will help get rid of any bacteria. I know it's not ideal but if I really had to get Hamish to take pills I would coat them in a tiny bit of liver sausage.

ian is feeling better today, no more vomiting or diahrrea.
ian is very hard to pill.
he is suspicious of everything i want to feed him.
liver sausage or luxury catfood from a small can works most of the time, but i can't force it down because he would never trust me again.
and he needs his vetoryl.
i will skip the vetoryl again today and start low tomorrow.
he has walked a few short walks, so i think he is ok again.
his sister doesn't show any signs of being ill, so i hope she doesn't get it.
i had to clean everything and that smell......................brrrr!
he is asking for food right now, so i will feed him some.
he has eaten some treats today and that went well.
