    Penny is on 3 day course of metrobactin
    anti biotic/anti inflammatory tabs. Advised fish and potatoes diet and poo samples if she keeps having diarrhea. If no improvement then xray to find if she has eaten something she shouldn't have ( god almighty theres probably a sock in there ) and also possibly giurdia ..i swear to god i wouldn't have spent this much money in my kids if they paid for it lol ..aw well fingers crossed ..oh and btw Penny doesn't realise she is unwell she has just crashed out after an episode of mauling and zooming around ..pups eh ..you have to love them

    We were probably at the vets every month or so when Snowie was a pup!!! First time pup owners and terrified of every little thing!! Better safe than sorry. But I do think the vet saw $$$ when we arrived each time :)

    Hopefully Penny will soon be completely fine.

    I'm glad Penny seems to be better.
    We went through months of on and off diorrhea. Eventually found out she is wheat intolerant. I must of been at the vets every 2-3 weeks until she was about a year old! She seems to be more robust in her tummy now than when she was a pup.

    Hi
    Hope everything goes ok ..Penny seems to be ok now ..its worrying because they are so young she has some medication and her appetite is huge its hard to tell if its tummy upsets or something more serious always best to check

    Thank you everyone... Lovely to hear your interest. Thanks to answered prayers, my puppy Pearl seems at this stage to just have an upset tummy...pheww... I cried when i heard from the phone call to the vet that it could be parvo. Took her to the vet and was tested and no pavo was detected! She's on some tummy settling medicine and sensitive tummy food. Again thanks...

    I hope you've found out the cause of the sickness from your visit to the vet. It's important that your puppy doesn't become dehydrated. How is he/she now?

    Thanks he is absolutely fine, the vet thinks he has possibly eaten something he shouldnt have!
