WELL Sunday Yogi had a very poorly tummy.He was having yucky poos all day every hour! We had niticed earlier he had been happily destroying plants and trellis surrounding his pen. The poor thing was in pain and cried every time he passed anything.With it being late on sunday and vets closed i gave him some imodium and some Charcoal treats to try settle him down. He had a good night and didnt need the loo al night,but this morning was dreadfull with the added problem of sickness.
As soon as the vets opened i booked an appointment and took him straight in. The vet asked me what he had been chewing and i gladly told her. She rushed off the check her files and came back telling me he had poisoned himself by eting the Laurel Bushes!! I didnt even realsie they were poisones to dogs as i have Never had a GSD eat them.
He was given and antidote to help counteract the poison,dyoralyt salts to rehydrate him,and a compound to re-introduce good bugs to his now very empty gut!
He isnt allowed any proper dog meal for 6 days. He cant eat for 48 hours, then a small ammount of Chicken soup on Thursday.He can then have rice and chicken soup on Friday Sat Sunday. If all goes well and he dosent re start the watery poo,he can be fed light food ,rice,chicken and Natural Yoghurt on Monday.
The poor thing. I will have to now make sure when he is out messing about in the garden LAURELS are out of bounds.
