    His poo was a little on the slack side yesterday but as he is a big time scavenger , I didn't worry unduly as he seemed fine in himself . I woke just before 4 this morning , he was crying to be let out , and then as I put the lights on , saw that he had emitted explosion all over the house :( :( He hasn't ever had an accident as an adult dog so this is new for Sam . Rubber gloves and disinfectant for over an hour, our Vet is open at 8.30 thank goodness, good grief its never ending . Poor lad, he is upset at what he has done , and Millie is upset too , its only just turned 6 and on my third coffee , poor Sam :(

    Oh Kate, poor Sam. Charlie did exactly the same before last Christmas. It was a tummy bug, needed antibioctics to clear it.

    You are having such a run of bad luck with poorly dogs. I hope things start to look up soon.

    Oh poor Sam. And poor you with the clean-up operation. Certainly seems to be something going round at the moment, loads of dogs have had it. Hope he settles soon.

    Paul has taken Sam , I just walked Millie round the village and a lady told me that there are two dogs suffering the same thing so yes, sounds like a nasty bug , saving grace is that Millie hasn't got it, yet xx

    Poor Sam and poor you with all the clearing up so early in the morning. It does sound like a bug going round, wishing him well very quickly.

    Vet David doesn't think it is a bug, Sams temperature is spot on and he hasn't been sick , he knows what a devil he is for eating his finds , so he thinks this is the likely culprit,, especially as Millie is fine . He has had a very large shot of Metronidazole and tablets to start tomorrow , currently sleeping, no doubt dreaming of what else he can find and devour , white fish and rice for tea Sam ;)

    So sorry to hear about Sam, poor lad, he must have been desperate to go in the house. I hope he is feeling better and enjoys his rice and fish this evening.

    Oh dear! Poor Sam - yes that would have distressed him.

    (If it was explosive have you check the ceiling?)

    Oh poor Sam and poor you! You are having a rough time :(
    Hope he bounces back quickly.

    Mira was at the doggy self-service this week, but fortunately furry poos and wind that would strip wallpaper were the only side effects :eek:
