Sick Pup

I have been having a busy summer. This week has been a little more low key. Nala, my 11 year old black lab, is sick. She has had the runs since Monday. It is now Friday and I am really concerned. Living on a bus is a tough environment for a dog with bathroom issues. Several times this week she has had 'accidents', always by the front door. Like she was trying to get as close to outside as possible.

Now I have to go work the weekend and I don't like having to worry about her well being. A few months ago, she had the opposite problem. She was all stopped up. Seems my little girl has some tummy issues. Right now, based on online advice, I'm putting her on a 24 hour fast and then fixing her a rice and boiled chicken dinner. If that doesn't work a visit to the vet will be my next step.

  1. Your dog's situation may be different, but when i got my most recent dog she came with the runs, and often bloody too. Spent around $400.00 at the vet and then found out about raw feeding and this site http://b-naturals.com/ I got some things here to help Her and combined with the raw food, She has been healthy since. good luck with your Pup!
