Padialyte has also helped my "Rotten Wienie" a mix of a RottWeiler and wiener dog.

She started to vomit today and her stool was diarrhea and bloody. I know to take her to a vet, but it's 3am in the morning and I am concerned about her fever. I wet her fur but it doesn't seem to be taking the temperature down. Anyone know what else to do to lower her temperature until the vet opens.

Mine weighs 80 lbs and i have to give her 3/4 of a cup every half an hour.

Yes, in theory the protein in the broth would be good for the sick pup, but the positive effects of protein is outweighed by the negative effect of sodium in the broth. Even the low sodium broth may actually increase the dehydration of the dog. With a high sodium load in the intestines of the dog, the natural response to digestion is to equalize the gradient. Therefore, the dogs body will actually flush the bowel with water. This may lead to greater dehydration.

Blowing in your friends face much like you can do with a child to swallow works well too. And it seems not to be as intimidating as holding their mouth shut may be. Also please know that your vet can in addition to meds make a "cocktail" of meds and other things and administer into the knapp of your friends neck. This is hard to watch and your friend will not like this however it's less costly and can start working immediatly. Also another displeasurable process for meds is: to place the meds at the back or deep in the sides of their mouth using a squirt bottle and blowing slightly into the face will get that much needed medicine down. Aragon is 2 now.

They love it, but NOT citrus or VIt. C. Set him outside for only 10 min. in the warm sun if temps are between 60 and 80 degrees. Be gentle, quite, reassurring and friendly, brushing him every other day, turning his position if he is too weak. He will appreciate it and should be up soon with this and a little of the vets antibiotics, but don't overdo it. Stop the canned pet foods forever. They contain all diseased animal remains, according to the FDA. No wonder our innocent healthy pets get sick. Instead, once well, alternate with home cooked sale chicken, beef, fish and/or tuna, each with rice and green peas. When bought on sale, make batches and freeze each week/month's servings mix. Even though you are tempted to worry and fret about the extra work, with dry cereal mixed in, it should add years to your pet. God bless you for taking care of God's Creation.

I gave it 1000mg vitamin C every 4 hours,an antibotic,chicken broth with rice cereal in it.. When I started this routine the puppy was foaming at the mouth, bloody stools. It took 4 days to heal him. He is healthy today. He is 2 yrs old. Hope this helps.

The vet should be aware of everything that is going on with the dog, especially now. You need to tell them that the dog hates the stuff that they prescribed.

Just in case you need to think about this. Ask your Vet.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Pedialyte for Dogs Post by FindTruth (2) | (08/26/2006) Profile | Contact My dog contracted Parvo, and an eight cup of Pedialyte given every 3-4 hours saved her. All they need, essentially, is liquid and nutrient retention. Pedialyte not only is safe for canines, but they will often readily drink it (I found the orange and clear most successful). If your pooch is too weak to drink, take a dropper or spoon, pull the lip from away from the teeth (at the corner), and drop it in. Then hold the mouth closed so it has to be swallowed (a natural reaction). My dog went from extremely lethargic to normal within a few weeks. Report Spam or Abuse
