Oh for the love of dog, Emerson! :(

So sorry to hear about Emerson. The vet will probably give you metrodozolone (that is probably spelled very wrong, but it is something to that effect), and tell you to give him a small bland dinner (chicken and rice). That metro, whatever it is, works great. It really does clear up tummy troubles quickly. Hugs to you and Emerson, I hope he is feeling better soon.

Awww Poor Emerson. I hope it's nothing too severe.

I just went through both of my pups having hookworm because little Miss Sierra killed and ate a bunny.... and BOY did their poo STINK!! Wooo Weee

I would at least take a poo sample to the vet to see if they see anything, esp since he drank out of a puddle.
I hope he feels better soon!!

Really good news! I just went home on my lunchbreak to check on the boyz, and no accidents or anything! I let him out, and all he did was take a leak!

I left Emerson in the kitchen with his quilt and a couple of toys and he did awesome! Nothing chewed, broken, or even touched! So, now I am thinking of weaning him off the crate on maybe a permanent basis?

I hope he feels better soon..... AND I hope you get some sleep tonight!

My old dog could only drink our town water, other wise he would get the runs REALLY bad!

When we went to PEI (2000km drive), we packed him a tub of water (3'X2'). When he got into bad water, he was fed pure rice for 2 days & vitamins. If we added beef that would make him very ill.

I am glad I read to the bottom of the thread!! This is good news Anna. I was going to post that I was worried about giardia as that is what Robyn (Christiansmommy) had to deal with when Dale drank pond water. It sounds like Emerson is on the road to recovery and that is good news! What a sweetie that boy is, to try and tell you he needed to go out. Poor widdle guy. Isn't it time we saw a picture or two?
