What's worse than a sick dog? how about 3 sick dogs and waiting for the 4th dog to get it.  It's obviously a virus giving them diarrhea. So I'm dosing them with colloidal silver and thinking I may start gatorade on at least Max since he's had it the longest. I don't want his electrolytes going out of whack. Sissy started this morning and Bruiser didn't look normal when he did his this morning. Susan |

Sissy is almost 10 yr old, Max is 4 yr old and Bruiser and Shadow are both 2yr old. Sissy and Max are hound mixes, Bruiser is a chichuaha and Shadow is a Husky.

Thanks, M. That will come in handy. I wonder if I could mix that into chicken broth so they'd like the taste of it better.
Max is doing better. Not happy with messes on the floor, but at least I'm able to see what it's like. He's not wanting to eat, but what's coming out looks more normal.

You're a better woman than me, Susan. That would be way beyond my icky threshold.

Actually, Val, there's some days I feel like screaming and tearing my hair out.

I would say to maybe skip the salt if it is in the broth already. How are things today?

It looks like they are all pretty much over it.  Last night and tonight we gave them their dry dog food, but mixed my home canned turkey and rice with it instead of their canned dog food. I also gave them a couple of doses of colloidal silver yesterday. We're back to normal poop. Such a fun topic.  Susan |
