Stomach bug or something he ate?
Well this weekend just gone was a bad weekend for poor Scoob - sickness and diarrhea for 2 days!
Friday he was his normal self, maybe a little bit tired.
5am Sat morning, he make a huge nasty mess by the front door.
Would not eat anything all day and would need to go outside to either throw up bright yellow bile or have diarrhea.
Sunday, wakes up full of beans bounding around the place, starving hungry haha
His stools are still a little loose but seem fine.
So.. would this is something he ate or one of those 24 hour sickness bugs that we can get from time to time?

Re: Stomach bug or something he ate?
Hi Dan
It sounds to me like he has just eaten something that hasn't agreed with him. A couple of weeks ago Cooper went through the same thing but within 24 hours he was his usual self again, he was a little loose toilet wise for a couple of days but he was back to normal after that.
They tend to eat anything they can when they are out walking and from time to time they will eat something that disagrees with them.
Obviously keep an eye on him over the next few days just to make sure he's eating and drinking properly and everything has firmed up when he goes to the toilet but I personally don't think it's anything to worry about.

Pleased to hear Scoobs is back to normal Dan.
I did hear that there was a sickness bug going around a week or so ago but I guess you'll not really know if it was that or something he ate, unless you see him actually eating something nasty of course

Yeah not sure if he ate something while out being walked or not, or whether it was his raw food maybe off a little.
I'll keep an eye on him and I've stripped his food back to basic clean meats for a while.

Re: Stomach bug or something he ate?
Glad he is feeling better! If his stomach is anything like my parent's staff a little slightly off meat won't do any harm! He likes to bury his meat treats and eat them about a week later!
