    Hi
    Just had results back from sloppy poo test, Bonnie has Campylobacter, she is 10 weeks old and on antibiotics. Poor thing. Any advice welcome, is this common amongst pups?

    Hi there Caro, I don't think its an unusual bug, quite common IF a bug shows up on culture for it to be this one.
    Certainly there have been a few on the forum with it!
    It should respond really well now you have the antibiotic for it, and make a big difference to your toilet training!
    I think it can be picked up from poop eating. I know it can be quite infectious, so strict washing and hand washing is really important, particularly if you have kids around (it is a nasty diarrhoea causing bug in humans too)
