St bernard not eating today?
I have a 7 month old St Bernard that up till now was eating everything that was given to him. I do not feed him table scraps at all, and won't! He loves carrots, broccoli, lettuce and all types of veggies which he gets on a regular basis! He eats 9 cups of Purina dog chow food everyday plus his treats of veggies. He ate his last meal at 5pm yesterday and has not eaten anything since. I haven't even had to refil his water dish either, so I see he isn't drinking either. When we woke up this am, he vomitted x2 and it was yesterdays kibble. About 2 hours later I saw him chucking up again and this time it was bile, yellow! Than later he vomitted again and it was clear with a bit a white foam. I have tried to give him treats and I added milk to his food today to get him to eat he just walked away. I just now broke down and tried to give him some ham lunchmeat and he grabbed it, dropped it and walked away.
His nose is warm to the touch although he has been trying to play with us all day today. He has been laying down more today though than normal.
Could it be the heat? Its been in the 90's here and our AC is not working, but we have fans to help keep us all cool... he has been panting a lot but that is typical for the heat and the dog in the this heat. I am just so worried abou this and really hope that things are OK or at least can be resolved!
Please let me know if you help me at all! I will update you if he decides to eat anything at all or if I notice him drink anything too. He has had 2 bowel movements today, both were solid... so I have no clue here... :confused:
Bernard not eating today?
Well I just got back from the vet, seems as though someone lied to me when I bought him! They said they had taken him to their vet an dhad all his shots and all up to date. Come to find out he has CPV now which is Canine Parvo for those who don't know.
I use to be a vet tech so I asked for the IV set up to take home and I am now giving him 800 cc's T.I.D and some electolyte supplement with some antibiotics and some vomitiming control meds.
With lots of love and lots of work, we are going to beat this! I know it!
Thank god we caught it early. Hopefully early enough for him to make a full recovery!
Thanks to all who read my post. I couldn't wait any longer, the not knowing was killing me and me seeing him sick was worrying me the most!
