Marleys a poorly boy

Got up through the night as we heard Marley which is most unusual and he had been sick in his crate, Ed took him out and he has terrible runs which looks like watery porridge.

He hasnt been too well over the past couple of days and we had an incident on Monday night where he started to rive and eat all my plants in the tubs on the decking, he was in a right panic, he started on the pansies and I pulled him away and his head went straight into the bizzy lizzies and mint, we pulled him off. We have a bench blocking the decking and the garden so Kala cant get on as we need to fence off the pond, Marley has never bothered with it but on monday he was straight over and started riving and eating grass, it was sheer panic with him when we brought him in we closed the doors and he was jumping and screaming to be out.

he seemed ok yesterday, poos normal, seemed happy but he's not well this morning.

I'm going to starve him today but if he's no better tomorrow I'll take a trip to Neil this is the second time in 2 weeks.

Poor Kala cant understand why her big bro doesnt want to play with her, she is lying in a right strop in the kitchen!!

aww poor marley he does go through it doesnt he :love: :love: let us know how he goes on jude...

Poor marley i hope he is feeling better soon

In all honesty Shell he has never really been "right" since he was poisoned. Even though Neil tells me he is fine and I really trust him, I really wonder what internal damage he has been left with.

I have never seen him in the sheer panic he was in the other night, he's just sleeping on the sofa at the moment he hasnt even heard the postie which is a first!

it does make you wonder jude.. maybe you could voice your concerns to the vet again and see what he can do, there may be some tests to determine whats going on inside....

there isnt anything poisonous in the garden is there,that he can get to?!...

Not that I know off. He usually doesnt bother with anything in the garden apart from chewing grass at times, he's really good he doesnt even bother the pond at all which amazes us especially with his love of water.
I think I'll have a word with Neil.

i would hun, if theres something worng thats gone undetected you may get it beofre it does any damage..... does he drink the pond water? do you treat the grass or plants with anything? the neighbours wouldnt throw anything over would they??!?!?!?

awww no poor lad :love:

i hope he feels better soon hun. i would ask your vet again if hes sure theirs nothing eles wrong. he could just as easily picked up a bug tho, plus the heat can effect them badly

Aww poor marley,could be the heat,shadow doesnt do well in
this heat,he hardly eats and he is often sick with runny poo
as soon as the weather cools down he's back to normal,but still
worth checking with your vet hun. :love:

No he looks at the fish in the pond but he doesnt drink the water. I have great neighbours they wouldnt do anything. dont treat plants etc with anything. It might just be another bug, he's been off his food for a couple of days though he wants to eat Kala's!!!

yea some dogs dont cope well with the heat at all do they its been awfully muggy up here recently and not nice for them at all

as the others have said, it could be just the heat.... fingers crossed its only something as simple as that hun :love: ... he could just be a dog with a really sensitive tummy

Aww not again Jude, you must be right down about it, :love: lets cross fingers that he will right himself and it just be the heat hun.

2 of mine have been a bit runny over the last few days, i usually give mine arrowroot biscuits and that seems to sort them, hope he feels better soon, if it is a bug i should keep a eye on kala ,

Im keeping a close eye on Kala Sue, she seems fine at the moment but if she gets the runs I'll have her straight up to the vets.

I'll get Ed to get some arrowroot biscuits this afternoon and give them a try.

Oh no poor lad
Hope he's feeling better soon :love:

Awww poor Marley. I hope he feels better soon :love:

I would definatly speak to the vet again about your concerns for his internals

:sadd: Poor lad, hope he is feeling better soon xx

big hugs for marley Judes :love: :love: :love:
and dont worry too much hun it prob is the weather, mine have been a bit off their food too
except Shady of course

Awww poor Marley, I hope you get to the bottom of it Jude :love: :love: :love:

freds been a little off colour today, hes had the runs, and ive kept him out the sun as much as possible...

all the dogs are suffering with the heat bless them :love:

When I took Kala to the vets last night I asked Neil about Marleys behaviour with the plants and the grass, he said Marley was desperately trying to make himself sick......which he was eventually.

I said to neil that I had starved Marley on Tuesday and put him on Chicken and rice the next day but I had kept giving Kala chicken and rice yesterday was that wrong. He asked if Kala had been sick I said no he said I had done right. He said the golden rule is if they are sick starve then but if they just have the runs still feed them with chicken and rice as it will only make them weaker by not feeding them. I never knew that, I thought he was going to tell me off!! :2431:

ooh right, i never knew to starve them if they were sick... its common sense really i spose lol.... i knew to give chicken and rice when theyve got the runs ..so im not all dim :2431:
