I took him to the vet today. He found out that he has tonsilitis (sp?)/sore throat. He also had a slight fever (103). I asked him what could have caused it and if it could cause his diarhea. He said something about bacteria being everywhere which could cause it, and that it could cause the diarhea, or that might just be because of the dog food change. He gave me some pills to give him for a week which I'm going to start tomorrow.

The sore throat is probably why he didn't want to eat that morning. He is eating now, although not quite as much as normal I don't think. I've given him some rice, and I've softened his food with hot water.

He said he can't be given his shots or dewormed until he is over this. So I'm going back in a week to see about that.

A few days after we got him he seemed to have a sort of infection in one eye, and a bit of a runny nose. We were on vacation at the time, and there wasn't exactly a vet in the Grand Tetons. I cleaned his eye often, and it just went away. I'm wondering now though if he hasn't been sick for longer then I thought.

Thanks for the info, Anna. Can't giardia be caused from drinking water? He has drank water from a couple of lakes/streams (he loves water, I can't keep him out of it lol). When I go back I'll have to make them check about that, it could be the cause.
