Tank is sick

He's been fine all day, then thus evening he's been sick bringing up all his dinner.

He's sleeping in his crate shaking. He won't come out. I managed to coax him into the kitchen for a treat but he spat it out and scurried bk to his crate,

He dosent feel hot, ears are cool to touch. I wanna give my baby a cuddle but he won't come out

Ate anyhting different today , been on any different walks ??

Awww, poor boy! Probably got a little bug. Is drinking ok?

Starve him till the morning & then try tempting him with some scrambled or boiled & mashed eggs. Hopefully he'll be feeling a lot better after a night's rest.

Nope all the same...

But he did gobble a bit of random poop off the ground before I saw it ...

Oh, dear - maybe it didn't agree with his stomach!

That was probably it, this will also make Rocky sick, see how he is in the morning ><

I would just keep an eye on him overnight.He might be a lot better in the morning after a good sleep i expect it was the poo eating thing

Hugs ><

Percy managed to eat some sheep poo a while back that had the same effect on him, sickness and the runs, shakey and crying i took him to the vets and they suggested 12hr starve, then rice/egg etc for a day, gradually building him back onto his food...gave us some paste that helps there tummy

Hope he feels better soon. X ><

Hope he is feeling better

How's Tank this morning?

let us know how he is this morning

Ohhh poor baby.. Hope he feels better soon

Well, he made it onto my bed at about 1am. He didn't move all night. Let him out for a pee n poop this morning. Normal poop but sifter than usual.

Gave him scrambled eggs for breakfast with a splash of water to get some fluids in him.
Half hour later he was sick and bought up about a mouthful.

Other than that he is very quiet, and wants to just sleep.

Do u think I should starve him till thus evening now ?
I don't wanna rush to the vets if it's just tlc that he needs for a cpl of days.

He's alert, and still managed to chase our cat this morning.

Edit:
He's beating the crap out of Diesel now ! Bloody dogs...

If he's still lively & only brought up a small amount, I'd just keep an eye on him. Maybe a light eveing meal of chicken & rice or potato?

If he's well enough to beat up Diesel I wouldn't be overly concerned. Tilly has been off over the last couple of days not eating so much and sulking (although I know staffies can't sulk ?????)

Thx Caryll.

Have to say it's nice to be able to come to thus forum with worries, concerns etc and get support xx ty all x

They're worse than kids!

How is your boy doing?

Hiya Lynne

Think he's on the mend. He's had steamed chicken and potatoe about 30mins ago and so far he's kept it down.

Actually just caught him trying to hump Diesels head ! Stoopid boy so I reckon he's feelin a bit better.

I will prolly make him scrambled eggs for breakfast again (and some for me!)

Xx

Hi, hope he is feeling better now

Hmmm he was fine last night.

But he's just had really runny poop and didn't want to eat breakfast.

He's sitting in his crate looking really sad

Ohh noo.. I don't have any experience in this, Steff hasn't been sick yet and I'm dreading if she does.. It must be such a worry for you.. Do you think it is time for a trip to the vet yet? it's been a couple of days now, but always different symptons hey?

I'm gonna ring the vet later for advise.

I'm wondering if I tried offering his food too soon..

He's just had a big drink of water so at least he's hydrated.

Will let u know what the vet says x

Ok, keep us updated. hopefully it's just the random poop getting out of his system.. Good luck n >< to Tank

No sickness since yesterday and no runny poop since this morning...

He's eaten normal lunch and dinner, kept it down and seems more 'waggy tailed' now which is great !

I reckon he's given me a few more grey hairs tho !! X

Great news! Apart from he hair!

Great news, got back from visiting my parents tonight went for a quick walk and Ledger was sick on the way round and put it down to him eating something that I hadn't seen but then got home and as I was about to put his tea down he threw up again and was insistent on telling me that he needed to go out again so out we went for another walk 20mins and a single pee later we got home I shut the front door and he promptly threw up again. In a previous life he has clearly been punished when he has been ill so i hate to see him cowering and looking guilty.

He has had nothing to eat tonight despite looking longingly at my parsnip soup and has been cwtched up to me on the sofa sleeping apart from when the local pubs firework display was on when he was more distressed than normal. All is calm now though and his ears are finally warm again so heres hoping for a good night and he can have some scrambled egg for breakfast

Aww Ledger ><

So glad tank is feeling better

And hugs to Ledger, hope he has a good nights kip and feels better tomoz ><

X

Thats great news Glad Tank is feeling better ..

Hope Ledger has a speedy recovery too ><

Thanks all he was still shaky this morning but ate some brown rice no problems and has been back on his kibble (and worming treatment) this evening he has just been a bit out of sorts but wondering if it is him picking up on my emotions as I've been on a rollercoaster this week

They do pick up on our stress ><
