They both love it and I mix the medication in with their food. Both seem to be improving, thankfully! Zeb's never got as bad as Caesar's because we caught it so early (good thing because he's 14-years-old).<br /><br />It's been hectic here this past week though!Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-25334065081542687692011-10-05T07:46:19.187-04:002011-10-05T07:46:19.187-04:00Hi Mary, your poor puppy and poor you!

My dog has had bouts of diarrhea in the past (very infrequently) and our vet told us to make him ground beef and brown cooked rice. It helped and my dog loved it. Good luck!noreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512311149461187879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-47941223421148346472011-10-04T22:11:13.941-04:002011-10-04T22:11:13.941-04:00Barb,

We are being very careful to wash and disinfect our hands a lot and I've been disinfecting the areas where he has accidents. The place where we bought the dog is reimbursing us for the vet bills (the ones that have to do with giardia) so that's helpful. We had to cover Zeb (my elderly dog) even though he caught it from the puppy. Thankfully, we caught Zeb's early. As soon as I found out the puppy had giardia I brought Zeb in too. We are happy to have the new puppy despite the problems. He is very sweet :)Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-79655413505857758882011-10-04T22:00:29.826-04:002011-10-04T22:00:29.826-04:00Victor,

I feel so bad for you and the poor dogs. It's such a miserable condition. Whoever you got your dog from, their kennels should be inspected and they should pay your vet bills if the dog had it when you bought it. Sick animals just tear my heart out.

Labs are usually pretty good if they are well trained. We are already trying to teach the puppy not to nip. It's kind of hard with a puppy because they are so playful but we bought him a bunch of chew toys and a rope and that helps. He "attacks feet" right now. He thinks they are his "arch enemy" ;)<br /><br />Needless to say, with the diarrhea the potty? training is not going so well :(<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-82395737969098168862011-10-04T12:09:25.108-04:002011-10-04T12:09:25.108-04:00Hope Caesar is getting better!!Hope Caesar is getting better!!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186229515380693012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-61289725378622091402011-10-04T11:50:43.518-04:002011-10-04T11:50:43.518-04:00Poor puppy - Hope he gets better soon.

It would never run away or jump up on your lap when you have just put clean jeans on and of course you could rest your feet on it. Or even use it as a coffee table.<br /><br />Chances of being allowed to have one after saying that? pretty low.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-74458531711055911102011-10-04T07:29:32.384-04:002011-10-04T07:29:32.384-04:00We had a labrador about 8 years ago, he was nine y...We had a labrador about 8 years ago, he was nine years old, given to us by a coworker who was moving to Florida and couldn't take him with them. Mel came from a house with very little activity to my crazy house full of wild children. Every day when we came home there was diarrhea all over the house. Yuck. We only had him a month when he bit my son Jack (who was five at the time) in the face taking out part of his lip. Awful! The dog had to be put down. You are blessed to have a puppy where, once this condition is behind you, you can train him up right to be a kind and gentle dog. I will pray for speedy healing for your dog(s) and patience for you and your family as you deal with the mess he is creating.

Guess who had the honor of pulling the slimy little critter out of the slimy drain? Yep, you guessed it! Took me three tries! My nephew said, "No one turn on the garbage disposal!" Hmmph! I should have "accidentally" hit the button ;) Disgusting! No fish for me...ever.<br /><br />I do like guinea pigs though. They are cute and friendly (most of the time) and easier to catch than hamsters! Our hamsters have seed stashes in our walls for when they escape.<br /><br />Yes, our pocket has taken a bite too. And Caesar's only a couple of months old. We had to bring him in for fluid replacement the other day. Ouch, on the wallet!<br /><br />Yes, they do tug at the heart-strings :)Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-30919084866109299062011-10-03T11:14:42.547-04:002011-10-03T11:14:42.547-04:00Victor,

You will fight the demon of flushing the live fish down the terlit almost on a daily basis as it dawns on you that you will have to clean that stupid bowl out AGAIN! We have a Beta and I am SICK TO DEATH of cleaning the bowl. I can't flush it (it's murder!) and I can't give it away (no one wants the bleedin' thing). It's so gross! Not to mention, goldfish are weak fish - they die off fast.<br /><br />Mary - so sorry for your pup (and you). Such a horrid thing to have to go through. Our dog has given me enough worry (and bites in the wallet) to last a life time and she's only four this December. I love her, but when she's gone, I'm done. Stick a fork in me. No more pets.<br /><br />Of course, the guineas are brilliant - and cute. We'll keep them as long as we are in HI and they are alive (obviously). . . but if we move, we'll give them to PetCo to find homes for again. The Beta? Same deal, if possible. We will take Holly with us - I can't imagine her w/ anyone but us. :) Same for the guineas, really, but flying them back to the mainland? I mean, do guineas even travel that well? I don't know. <br /><br />Pets tear at one's heart-strings, don't they?Sarah Oldhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00169484284618791110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-86755654772261999142011-10-03T01:54:07.185-04:002011-10-03T01:54:07.185-04:00Sympathy for you Mary.
