Poorly girl!

Hiya
One of my staffies yday came down with diarreah, she had 2 accidents in the
Kitchen that were formed but soft poop and ever since when she goes to
The toilet it is pretty much gooey yellow and runny! And still the same today! She isnt been sick its just one end
She is in no sign of pain she is eating drinking and her usual crazy self! She was wormed with drontal 5wks ago and has had no change in her diet
When she is out on a walk she js forever taking a munch on grass! (Im now going to have ro start muzzling jer to stop her doing it!)
She is in the vets for 2 but in the mean time does anyone know what this could be? Im Worried sick

Hi and welcome, do pop and say hi when you get chance   https://staffy-bull-terrier.niceboard.com/f7-new-member-introductions

Sorry to hear your girl is poorly, sounds like a bug, hopefully the vets will know. Mine is munching on grass at the moment too, think its fairly normal at this time of year, something to do with the the grass being sweet so I wouldnt worry too much about that, definitely dont muzzle her because of it.

Let us know how you get on at the vets xx

Keep her on the lead while out for walks and if any other dogs approach ask the owners to put their dog on the lead, just in case it is something that's contagious. No need to muzzle her, this would just cause confusion, keep her on the lead.

Please let us know how you get on at the vets.

Hi all thanks for your replies, i dont want to muzzle her but thought it maybe better to prevent her from eating stuff but il just keep her on a short lead around grass patches.
She was given a health check everything is fine she had a slightly high temp but he put that down to her excitment and warm day.
Shes been put on vet intestinal food and given an injection aswel as some medicane to go in her food.
She came home and went to the toilet still runny but thicker and no longer yellow and gooey!
Im hoping this means the meds are working and she will be ok!

Glad everything went well, Katy sends   

That's good to hear, hope she continues to improve   

she seems to be straining alot more to poo since she had the injection :s

It must be firming up then, hopefully she's be over it in a couple of days x

They are such a worry - I hope she is on the mend, out of interest what are you feeding? x

I hope so sazzle, im a wreck with worry, shes my baby

Shes normally fed on pedigree small bit mixer biscuits with winalot in gravy tin food .. But vet has given her some tins of intestinal pate type tin food to have little and often with her meds

Thats good - I would also think about changing her feed to something of a better quality after Xx

I was planning on weaning them onto natures diet but they get hard poops when they have it :/

Rather hard than soft! Far better diet Xx

They do love the nature diet, i think when shes all sorted il
Wean them on it again x

You no what I would put her straight on it don't go back to the pedegree - her diet is being mixed up now with the vets food.

Ok thanks will do! .. Pedigree is only the mixer shes on, the actual meat is winalot x

Yer - change lol Xx

Thankyou, will do! x

Do hope she feels better, keep us updated Xx

Thankyou me too! I will touch wood!! X

Woke up to another accident on the kitchen floor bless her! .. Its normal poop colour still, an a bit thicker but still runny only there was a bit of blood at the end :/ ... Is this from the muscle from straining or could this be a problem
She only started her medicane and intestinal diet last night with her needle at 2, i may just be being paranoid and expecting it to work straight away but shes never had it this bad before!
Shes still fine in herself

Was the blood light or dark coloured ?

It may be from straining, give the vet a quick call and ask to speak to one of the nurses, they should be able to help you.

What was the medicane prescribed for ?

Light, fresh coloured the vet knows she ocassionaly gets the fresh blood he said straining but always worrys me still! .. She has been again since having her brekki and its thicker again with no blood but still gooey
I have a feeling she has colitis

how is your little girl today ?

Yday we had a soft but formed poop but then it was followed by a slightly runny one .. She never went the toilet for a poo again until this morning (no accident in the house during the night like we have had since tuesday) this mornings poo started normal and formes and ended slightly runny, shes not been again since
Im HOPING this means shes starting to recover

That does sound positive, hopefully she is over the worst of it.

Hoping so! Just need to see her go again normally to convince me

Fingers crossed x

Thankyou

Sorry to hear your girl has been poorly, they are a worry. Glad she is on the mend I use nature diet and suits us very well x

Thankyou .. She hasnt pooed since this morning i dont know if this is good or bad :/ usually while on wet food she poos 2-3 times a day and deffo straight after her meal
But since been on this vet prescribed food its like a pate and shes not going as often .. Shes not straining like she needs to but cant she just acts like she dont need it and would rather chase the birds flying over

I wouldnt worry the food the vet have given may just be "bunging" her up so to speak. If she is drinking and lively enough, try not to worry x

Thankyou x

I could cry! .. she did a normal poop yday and 2 normal poops today but then just she did a sloppy one :'( ... surely this should still be happening!
