One sick puppy...=(


Hey all,
Charlie my Cav. Spaniel has been sick all day...=(...She seemed to be feeling better in the afternoon however, now she is sick again. Her stool is very very loose.

I don't want to put her in the crate, I don't want her in my bed, what do I do with her? Tommorow I can get her seen at the vet, but, I would certainly feel terrible putting her in the crate...

Can I just give her a half or a quarter of immodium? I know our vet had told us to give our older dog half. She weighs about 4-6 lbs. (Charlie, not the older dog)

Any instructions for tonight would be a life saver. Any information would also be welcomed.

I suggest you call the local Animal Urgent Care for advice for tonight...very loose stools isn't a good sign. Something is definetly wrong and I would suggest you take her into Urgent Care tonight. Diarreha will most surely lead to dehydration, (especially if this has been going on all day) she will probably need to get on IV fluids until they can figure out the reason for illness. Please call ASAP and let us know what happens.
